The handling of protests at USC and UCLA, which led to numerous arrests during pro-Palestinian protests, is under scrutiny after City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto announced that only two out of nearly 350 arrested individuals would be charged. This decision has incited debate regarding the treatment of the protesters and accusations of antisemitism toward university officials. Some groups are challenging this outcome through lawsuits on both sides, reflecting the ongoing tensions between pro-Palestinian advocates and Jewish communities.
Feldstein Soto thanked prosecutors in her office 'for their dedication to the rule of law and their commitment to objectively evaluating the evidence and referrals received on each of these matters.'
In charging only two suspects, the city attorney has frustrated campus officials, law enforcement leaders and demonstrators... alleging she has shown bias against pro-Palestinian demonstrators.
