Good evening. Reporter trace, good evening. As the Sun Goes Down, attention is building up on the ucla campus and lapd source telling me lapd just went into a citywide tactical alert because of whats happening here. I will step out and give you a look. Hundreds upon hundreds of these pro Palestine Protesters have shown up here outside of the encampment, apparently in an effort to defend it as it appears Law Enforcement is going to take action tonight. If we can go off into the background, you will see there are large numbers of lapd officers in riot gear arriving on the outskirts of campus with their Crowd Control Gear, their helmets, and they are starting to encircle the campus. We can pan to the left and just look at the size of the crowd that has shown up to essentially stop police from being able to go into this encampment. We have another line of lapd officers and Crowd Control in Crowd Control Gear lining up here. I will step out of the way and we will plan to the left and give you an idea of the encampment is. Its right over here to the left. There are multiple lines of lapd and today the protesters, the encampment, they build a wall to keep Police Encounter protesters out. That is what you are looking at, Wooden Pallets and plywood that they have put together with zip ties and screws, that theyve drilled together because they are expecting some sort of siege tonight, whether its from counter protesters or from Law Enforcement. A Dispersal Order was given earlier, multiple Dispersal Orders actually and the crowd inside than encampment has been chanting we are not leaving. Walk with us and we will show you just whats going on. We have more lapd Set Up Skirmish Lines as they are essentially surrounded by these pro Palestine Protesters who have been chanting things like lapd is kkk and multiple Law Enforcement sources are telling us theres a plan to try to clear out the camp at some point tonight. We dont know when that is going to happen exactly but you can see, step here real quick, theres a large Law Enforcement presence arriving on the other side of where we are right now, the Sheriffs Department is showing up in the Sheriffs Department we will get out of the way the Sheriffs Department actually has it looked like seven or eight up there huge jail busses that are posted up about a mile away at the federal building, implying that there are potentially going to be some mass arrests tonight. The students in the in camera it behind the camera have said they are not going anywhere despite multiple Dispersal Orders being given by ucla police. We are seeing larger numbers of lapd showing up. They did not have their helmets on before, they have come on now , we are starting if you look at the neon green, those are the less lethal weapons they bring, beanbags, that sort of thing. You get the sense that there is some in imminent imminent action taking place tonight. Weve heard that from sources in multiple police departments, you have lapd, california Highway Patrol and you have the la county Sheriffs Department out here. Right now we are waiting to see who will make the first move. There is still a bit of daylight and everything weve been hearing from our sources is once the Sun Goes Down we will start seeing some Law Enforcement action. Trace, could be another night of action on the campus. Trace and if you see something catches flag us and we will come right back to you for whatever you find that is fascinating or troublesome. Bill melugin live at the campus of ucla. Meantime New York City is still very much an epicenter for much of the oncampus antiisrael activity. Last night the drama unfolded at columbia and city college of new york, now its extending to university at nyu. Alexis mcadams is live on the ground at nyu with the latest there. Alexis, good evening. Reporter trace, good evening, you can check it out over my shoulder, this crowd which is still out. Chanting things like intifada and demanding that this University Also divest from israel, saying that they are done with whats happening in gaza and they want a free palestine. This is kind of whats going on here. And weve also seen whats happening not just year at nyu but across the city and the country. Check out this video we shot just a short time ago this afternoon, also on the Upper West Side in New York City, you can see thats was happening. Fifteen students were arrested there after they set up another gaza solidarity encampment. This time those tents were set up right inside of a campus building. The nypd moving in and making those arrests and clearing the way. The protests coming up there a night of chaos. Nearly 300 arrests at two campuses including a majority of those at Columbia University in New York City. The nypd even removed a palestinian flag that someone put up at a campus just near columbia, at the city college of new york, those officers then raising the American Flag. This is what New York City mayor eric adams had to say. Watch. That is our flag, folks. Dont take over our buildings and put another flag up. It maybe fined to other people, but not to me. My uncle died defending this country and these men and women put their lives on the line and its despicable that schools will allow another countrys flag to fly in our country. So blame me for being proud to be an american. I think the commissioner for putting the plaque flag back up. We are not surrendering our way of life to anyone. Reporter again tonight those protests continue. You can see some of whats going on. What do you have to say about the Police Moving into these protests . What was the question . Reporter what do you think about the Police Moving in . Making those arrests like a columbia, you think there will be arrests at nyu . I think whenever the police decided to do it, they will just pick random people and arrest them violently. Thats been the pattern. Reporter are you an nyu student . Reporter no im not. Reporter why are you Wearing Masks if you are proud of what you are standing for . Why are people hiding their faces . I think thats a good question. A different interpretation of Wearing Masks than im used to. I find that this skews more pandemic and covid conscious so thats the reason that i mean personally thats why im wearing a mask. I get sick and i think a lot of my friends do too. Reporter so not wearing a mask to hide your identity . Especially since we are all yelling in the same space, its pretty much like i dont know, its kind of like asking for it. Thats why wearing a mask could be a good idea. Reporter thank you for talking to us. Thats a new one that we had in her just yet, that outside wearing a mask below your nose there, not to protect who she is but more so talking about protecting her from covid. But we have seen nypd officers move in but its nothing like we saw last night. Trace alexis, if things get ugly where you are, flag us and we will bring you right back on. Alexis mcadams live at nyu, thank you. [ ] trace meantime the facts Fox News Night commonsense Department Things all the antiisrael protests have overshadowed that thousands of may day events held across the country but one in particular still caught the eye of commonsense because it it was held here in los angeles. And because it involved you tla, united teachers of los angeles. Thats the Teachers Union in the nations secondlargest School District with roughly 600,000 students but it wasnt really a celebration, it was a protest as you might imagine, and antiisrael pro palestinian protest with a heavy dose of antisemitism. Commonsense knows the union is called united teachers but are these 32,000 teachers really united . Are they happy to have their union and their Union Dos Being used to promote hatred on their behalf . Are these 32,000 teachers really just one big antiisrael voting block spewing antiisrael propaganda in unison, a virtuals symphony of hostility . Should k12 teachers be taking sides . Should k12 students no their teachers political ideology . Remember, this is the same union that wanted to defund the police, ban Charter Schools and not teach kids to read or do math. But wait, commonsense dance corrected, the last one was not a goal, just a sad result of their wonderful work. Lets bring in rabbi chaim mentz, you rassy Grad Student Mark Rayant and california policy attorney julie hamill. I want to get some news out of the way, we saw bill melugin at ucla, you came from what did you see out there . The situation is devastating right now. I have friends who are currently taking class, currently taking final exams and theyve been blocked from entering campus. Theyve been stranded, preventing from entering and exiting because there are waves of hundreds of Agitators Descending on campus from all directions. They are on trucks with megaphones, they are screaming for violence, they are screaming for israel to burn. Its a very terrifying and unsettling situation for my peers and i. Trace we should know you have somebody out there, we are trying to turn the video around as fast as we can but we appreciate you being on, mark. Rabbi, i want to put this out, this is one of the antiisrael protesters after the fighting at ucla saying this. For opens up over seven hours zionist aggressors curled gas canisters, sprayed pepper spray and through fireworks and bricks into our encampment. They broke our barriers repeatedly, clearly in an attempt to kill our community. Trace we should note they were all fighting together, they were all peppers bring each other, but now this group is changing the narrative saying that they feel like they are palestinians in gaza. They are doing exactly the playbook, the playbook is become the victim. What happens is thousands of people cannot get onto campus because these thugs, i hesitate to call them terrorists but thats what they are, they are terrorizing people. If im a student i cant get into the library. I have to get through. Some people pushing away the jail they made for themselves . They are guilty as the murders of any institution. They are seriously taking over not only ucla but you have to recognize that this is coming across the whole United States. Trace the chanting at ucla apparently siding with the antiisrael protesters, chanting however one feels about the encampment, the attack on our students, faculty and Community Members was utterly unacceptable, it has shaken our campus to its core but ucla did not even call police until 1 00 in the morning and the School Newspaper is like they are the ones to blame. Well ucla also outlined all of the violations of law that were occurring in the encampment they posted it on april 30th but they did not do anything about it. They said you are violating all of these laws but we are not going to do anything, so they emboldened this. You also have this group of people who are saying all cops are saying f the police, abolish the police and then crying about the police not showing up this morning. So you cant have it both ways. Trace but they want it both ways and thats the problem. You just told us A Story Market i want to bring this video up because we think its compelling. This is where at the university of North Carolina these students took down the palestinian flag and they put up the American Flag which had been replaced. If we can play the video, it was really compelling and they put this up there and this was a fraternity and this is one of those things weve seen very few of, these are, you know, your aged students across the country during this. What do you think of that . I think it needs to be mentioned that these are not peaceful demonstrators, there are people among them who are violent agitators and their goal is to take advantage of our freedoms to hijack them in order to create an environment of hostility and lawlessness. It does bring a good sense of pride to see that there are people who are still proud to be american and still proud to represent those liberties and freedoms that so many have fought and died for. Im proud of them for doing that and it brings me a sense of pride because these people, they have a game plan. They want to silence us, intimidate us and we will be silenced. Trace its a good point. Rabbi. America is looking at january 6th, january sixth, generous six. Anarchists are always saying they are not looking over here and they built this thing to go up around the entire country while they are the anarchists. I get to see anyone from january 6th going to jewish people and saying i want you to die. Of yet to see them go them to campuses saying i want you to stop getting an education. This is the weakness of america. We are looking over here, theres an election over here. But really the damages going on over here. Trace this isnt my question but its important, this is a list of demands, requests from the ucla protesters, some of the things they want. Vegan and glutenfree food, superbright flashlights with a stroke, rope and zip ties, helmets, shields, would, lotion no sunscreen, knee and elbow pads. I want to move on from that with the ucla think and talk about what commonsense talked about, the teachers gathering for these antiisrael protests and you think are all the teachers on board with this . These are Public School teachers. Absolutely not and i want to send a message to all of the teachers in los angeles, you are not legally obligated to be a member of your union. Go to my pay my say. Com and learn how to exit utla. Now is the time. Trace it really is. Its amazing. Julie, market, rabbi, thank you. We will get your video, mark got on it soon as we can. Standby if you would. Meantime the white house is struggling over what to do or what to say about the spread of antiisrael protests on campus as many universities say nonstudents are among the campus agitators. Christina coleman is live. Reporter good evening trace, some universities cracking down on the chaos. New york mayor eric adams says club be a university acknowledged that outside agitators were on their Campus Training and coopting the antiisrael protests. At their request, we went in and conducted an operation to allow Columbia University to remove those who have turned the peaceful protests into a place where antisemitism and antiisrael attitudes were pervasive. Reporter and at Ucla Last Night A much different situation involving counter protests. The chancellor said outside agitators attacked the pro palestinian encampment, Law Enforcement was called in to stop the unrest. A jewish ucla student tells fox news that he had a chance to talk to some of the protesters who showed up to campus. I can confidently say that they are not ucla students. They were just la residents, jewish la residents that had noticed how these pro hamas protesters are treating jewish students. They say the main reason they are doing this was to attract police. They said they wanted la police to arrive so they can finally go inside the encampment and start making arrests. Reporter meantime the University Of Florida taking a hard stance. Nine protesters were arrested there monday after students set up an encampment at the universitys plaza last week in solidarity with other pro Palestinian Protesters across the country. In response to the arrest the University Says its n
