Tensions at USC rose as police entered campus, the editor of the student paper said

Tensions rose as police entered the University of Southern California campus, according to Jonathan Park, an editor of the Daily Trojan, the college’s newspaper.

“When we saw the LAPD coming from Vermont Avenue and working with campus officers, surrounding them, it definitely changed the mood,” Park told CNN’s Anna Coren.
Pro-Palestinian protesters gathered at USC Alumni Park around 4 a.m. local time Wednesday and were largely peaceful until a scuffle between police and protesters over placing signs on trees around noon, Park said.

One person was arrested but quickly released following loud chants from protesters who said “let him go,” CNN correspondent Nick Watts reported from the scene.

The Los Angeles Police Department said 93 people were later arrested on suspicion of trespassing during Wednesday’s demonstration at USC.

Protesters’ demands: Park said the protesters have six demands, among them an academic boycott of Israel, protecting free speech on campus, stopping displacement in the Palestinian territories, no campus policing, and calling on USC to “end the silence on genocide and Palestine. . “
