University Of Texas At Austin News

None of the pro-Palestinian demonstrators were quickly released from jail, a shift from the response to last week's protests.

Dozens of protesters were still in police custody Tuesday, nearly 24 hours after being arrested during the latest wave of pro-Palestinian demonstrations at the University of Texas at Austin. Police arrested 79 people at the event Monday, charging most with misdemeanor criminal trespass, authorities said. None had been released from custody by early Tuesday afternoon, a departure from last week when demonstrators departed from jail the same day and had their charges quickly dropped.

Both are misdemeanors. Demonstrators had set up tents and folding tables at UT-Austin on Monday, locking arms before police began moving in and dispersing them with pepper spray and flashbangs.
