More arrests and a canceled commencement as college antiwar rallies spread
Arrests at pro-Palestinian protests that expanded Thursday to colleges across the country brought the total number of people detained in a week of demonstrations to more than 500, with officials struggling to quell the unrest by clearing encampments and closing buildings.
A tumultuous scene and dozens of arrests late Wednesday at the University of Southern California pushed its administration to cancel the school’s main commencement ceremony May 10, citing new safety measures that have been put in place after protests there.
