This morning protesters blockaded the Raytheon facility within the University of Arizona Tech Park in Tucson, Arizona.
At the UA Tech Park, Raytheon, which supplies the Israeli military, works in close collaboration with the University of Arizona to design weapons of war.
About 60 people held a rally in front of the Tech Park -- demanding an end to collaboration with Raytheon and Israel -- while those who physically blockaded the entrance are being loaded into police vehicles inside the complex.
Vehicle access to the UA Tech Park was blocked for at least an hour, with protesters blocking the main entrances to Raytheon and workers zooming in and out of the crowds attempting to get in.
A blockade also occurred at the west entrance to the campus; police have arrested all the blockaders there.
After clearing protesters from blocking UA Tech Park/Raytheon's entrance, Pima County Sheriffs also insisted on arresting KJZZ journalist Alisa Reznick despite Reznick clearly carrying media equipment and repeatedly identifying herself as press.

Phoenix New Times: ASU in Tempe, in the Phoenix Valley, Revoked Permission for Rep. Tlaib Event
"Just hours before Arizona State University’s Neeb Hall in Tempe was supposed to host an Arizona Palestinian Network event with Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the university publicly revoked permission for the hall to be used and canceled the event.
"Tlaib, a Michigan Democrat and the only Palestinian-American in Congress, planned to speak at a Nov. 17 event titled “Palestine is an American Issue." She was to be joined by other speakers calling for a ceasefire in Gaza."
