Boston police arrested more than 100 people near Emerson College overnight as officers forcibly cleared a tent encampment. Demonstrators had set up their tents in solidarity with a broader movement by U.S. college students calling on universities to sever ties with Israel and support a ceasefire in Gaza.
Students at Emerson, Tufts, and MIT have been camping out since Sunday night, while Harvard students set up an encampment Wednesday in Harvard Yard, and a protest was forming at Northeastern on Thursday.
