Forty percent of arrestees in the Pro-Palestinian protest at the University of California–Irvine May 15 had no connection with the school, according to numbers released by authorities.
University spokesperson Tom Vasich confirmed to The Epoch Times 47 individuals were arrested—including 26 students, 2 employees, and 19 not affiliated with the institution—for disrupting university operations, failing to disperse, and trespassing. They were taken to the Orange County Jail, processed, and then cited and released.
