Texas progressive groups and a San Antonio U.S. Congressman lashed out at Gov. Greg Abbott Thursday for the arrest of a journalist during a pro-Palestinian protest at the University of Texas at Austin the day before.

Texas Department of Public Safety officers arrested a cameraman for Fox 7 Austin for criminal trespass as authorities pulled protesters from a crowd gathered at the campus' South Lawn,

In a Thursday statement, the ACLU of Texas called the journalist's arrest and alleged violence committed by the police an affront to democracy and constitutionally guaranteed freedoms. On Thursday, protesters returned to UT's campus in mass to continue calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict. There, they joined U.S. Rep. Greg Casar, a Democrat whose district stretches from the state capital to San Antonio.
