The incidents come as part of a broader pattern of law enforcement response to public demonstrations across the country. As tensions rise concerning international issues, such public gatherings are drawing increased attention from officials.
Both individuals were identified by immigration enforcement following their participation in the university campus protests. These demonstrations were organized to support Palestinian rights and have sparked substantial conversation on campus about global conflicts and human rights.
