Police conducted raids on five residences connected to pro-Palestinian activists at the University of Michigan, sparking concerns about the implications for free speech and campus activism. The state's attorney general indicated that the probe concerns acts of vandalism across multiple jurisdictions, involving various law enforcement agencies. Although at least seven individuals were detained and questioned, including students and university staff, no arrests were made. The university's graduate student union expressed concern over the methods used during the detentions, raising issues about students' rights and safety.
'The alleged vandalism was against multiple homes, organizations, and businesses in multiple counties.' This investigation spans various jurisdictions, highlighting the extensive nature of the inquiry.
Lavinia Dunagan noted that those detained were taken into officers' cars and not allowed to leave until they provided information and allowed cheek swabs.
