TRAVIS CO. ATTORNEY ON UT PROTEST ARRESTS

Travis County Attorney Delia Garza issues a statement and answers questions in
regard to the arrests on the University of Texas at Austin campus during
pro-Palestine protests.

AUSTIN, Texas - The Travis County Attorney’s Office made a statement on Tuesday,
April 30, after the arrest of nearly 80 protesters at the University of Texas at
Austin on Monday.

Garza said she had reached out to the university about a better way forward. She
said, "While we understand the safety concerns of the university, continuing to
send protesters to jail on criminal trespass charges, one of the lowest level
non-violent crimes our office is presented with, is putting a tremendous strain
on our criminal justice resources."





She also said she was "deeply concerned about how matters will escalate when
people believe they are being prevented from exercising their right to
participate in non-violent protests."

Garza also spoke about the impact on law enforcement resources.



A total of 79 people were booked into the Travis County Jail in association with
the April 29 pro-Palestine protest on the UT campus, the sheriff's office said.

The University of Texas Police Department is the arresting agency for 75 of
them, while the Austin Police Department made four arrests.

Seventy-eight of the people arrested are charged with Criminal Trespass. One
person has an additional charge of Obstructing a Highway or Passageway, and
another person is charged with Interfering with Public Duties. 

PROTESTERS ARRESTED AT UT AUSTIN

Dozens of protesters were arrested by law enforcement at a UT Austin Palestine
protest on Monday, April 29

This protest comes after days of protests last week. 

Almost 60 people were arrested, including a FOX 7 Austin photographer, by law
enforcement on the University of Texas at Austin campus on Wednesday, April 24.
Charges against those arrested were all dropped the following day.

UT AUSTIN PALESTINE PROTESTS CONTINUE

Pro-Palestine protests continued at UT Austin on Friday for a third day. FOX's
Olivianna Calmes reports from campus with more.

The protests in Austin are just one of many going on around the country.

At Columbia University in New York, pro-Palestinian protesters encamped in tents
were told to vacate by 2 p.m. The warning came after Columbia President Minouche
Shafik said the university 'will not divest from Israel' in a statement.

UT AUSTIN PROTEST: PROTESTERS ARRESTED

Several arrests have been made at UT Austin during a Palestine protest at the
South Mall on Monday, April 29.

At New York University, police said 133 protesters were taken into custody late
Monday. All were released with summonses to appear in court on disorderly
conduct charges. New York City Mayor Eric Adams said police officers were hit
with bottles and other objects at some of this week’s protests.

In Connecticut, police arrested 48 protesters — four of them not students —
Monday at Yale University, after they refused to leave an encampment on a plaza
at the center of campus.

At the University of Georgia, police and Georgia State Patrol troopers arrested
multiple demonstrators during a pro-Palestine protest there on its Athens
campus.
