2024 University of California, Irvine pro-Palestinian campus occupation

On May 15, 2024, a crackdown on a pro-Palestine encampment at University of California, Irvine resulted in an occupation of the UC Irvine Science Building by the protesters. UCI police put out a mutual aid call and received a response from at least 16 law enforcement agencies from around Orange County. Hundreds of officers responded and forty-seven protesters, including students, UCI employees and others were arrested. Student participants were suspended for up to 14 days.

On May 22, more students organized by the UCI Divest Coalition and Students for Justice in Palestine organized a walkout to protest the suspension.
