University of Iowa police seized materials a pro-Palestine group was using to set up an encampment at Hubbard Park on Monday morning. While no one was arrested in the incident, the university said police did remove materials the group had brought to set up an encampment at around 7:15 a.m.
In a social media post, the group, which calls themselves “University of Iowa Action For Palestine,” shared images of police seizing the materials and said the zone has been disbanded. They also promised to return. Under the university’s policies, encampments are not permitted, and those violating the policy could be subject to criminal and university disciplinary actions.
