Only one pro-Palestine protester has been charged with an actual criminal offense: resisting arrest, a misdemeanor. The rest are facing non-criminal, violation-level charges.
Police searched the site of the May 1 pro-Palestine protest and attempted encampment after dispersing demonstrators. Belongings left behind were confiscated by University Police.
