They have been protesting the Israel-Hamas war and how the university is handling the student demonstrations.
This comes after tensions flared on Monday as law enforcement cleared a"Gaza Solidarity" encampment on campus and arrested 64 people, 40 of whom were students, according to the university. “Students are really frustrated and upset with our university’s response to a peaceful protest calling in the sheriff’s office,” Maya, a student, said."You point your guns in the faces of students, so I started shaming them and telling them that it's not acceptable, and I was asking them to put their guns away," Taha Hassane with the Islamic Center of San Diego said.
The university released a statement responding to Wednesday's demonstration that echoed previous statements, saying the school supports free speech but is committed to safety.
