Excerpt:
Anti-Israel student protesters at the University of Minnesota stormed a campus building Monday afternoon using furniture to barricade exit doors, trapping staff inside and demanding divestment from the Jewish state.
Student protesters assembled on a campus lawn before a group stormed Morrill Hall around 4 p.m. Once inside, masked individuals spray-painted security camera lenses and smashed windows, creating significant damage, according to a university statement.
Given the ongoing property damage and because several staff members in the building could not exit through the barricaded doors, the University of Minnesota Police Department was called to the scene and arrested almost a dozen individuals.
