FBI raids University of Michigan pro-Palestine students' homes
Video shared on Wednesday by a local digital news outlet in Dearborn, Michigan showed men in FBI-emblazoned vests breaking down the door of a home where pro-Palestine student protesters live.
According to the pro-Palestine group TAHRIR Coalition, the raids took place at three locations: Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti and Canton, all at the homes of University of Michigan students who were involved in campus protests in support of Gaza.
While all the residents were briefly detained then released, their devices were confiscated, TAHRIR said.
The move is the boldest action yet to crack down on student protesters in the area. At least 11 other students already face charges by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel.
Nessel has indicated that it remains her mission to root out what she describes as antisemitism on college campuses.
