Students protesting the ongoing war in Gaza left a pro-Palestinian encampment at the University of Southern California (USC) early Sunday after they were surrounded by police and told they could face arrest if they didn’t go.

The move, days before commencement was set to begin, came after the university said campus safety officers, assisted by the Los Angeles Police Department, were clearing the area.
