On May 15, 2024, a crackdown on a pro-Palestine encampment at University of California, Irvine resulted in an occupation of the UC Irvine Science Building by the protesters.[1] UCI police put out a mutual aid call and received a response from at least 16 law enforcement agencies from around Orange County.[2] Hundreds of officers responded and forty-seven protesters, including students, UCI employees and others were arrested. Student participants were suspended for up to 14 days.[3] [4] [5] [6]

On May 22, more students organized by the UCI Divest Coalition and Students for Justice in Palestine organized a walkout to protest the suspension.[7]

On July 30, five UC Irvine students sued the UC Regents and Chancellor for suspending them without due process.[8] [9]
