While UCLA Chancellor Gene Block was being grilled by members of Congress for his handling of pro-Palestinian protests, activists on campus erected a new encampment early on May 23, drawing police in riot gear who declared the gathering unlawful and dispersed the crowd.
The protesters set up the encampment between Kerckhoff and Moore Halls, using tables and metal fences to seal off the area, while police and security officers created their own perimeter to block people from entering.
