The protest at Pomona College, initially peaceful, escalated as students occupied the college president's office. 20 students were arrested, with charges ranging from misdemeanor trespassing to obstruction of justice.
The protest was triggered by the removal of a student-designed pro-Palestinian 'apartheid wall' and the administration's failure to consider student demands to divest from pro-Israel companies. The response by police was criticized for being excessive.
