YEAH. SCOTT. AND DONE. ABOUT THREE HOURS AGO, ONE MAN WAS ARRESTED HERE NEAR THE ENCAMPMENT. BUT WE'RE STILL TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT EXACTLY THAT WAS IN RELATION TO. BUT THE PRO-PALESTINIAN GROUP HERE ON THE QUAD CONTINUES TO GROW. I DON'T TRUST THEM WITH MY LIFE, MA'AM. I DON'T TRUST THEM. UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO POLICE TAKING A MAN AWAY IN HANDCUFFS NEAR THE UCHICAGO UNITED FOR PALESTINE'S ENCAMPMENT. BUT IT'S STILL UNCLEAR IF THIS ARREST WAS RELATED TO THE DEMONSTRATION, WHICH HAS NOW BEEN GOING ON SINCE MONDAY. THE GROUP CALLING FOR THE UNIVERSITY TO DIVEST FROM COMPANIES WITH TIES TO ISRAEL.
