Pro-Palestine Encampment at the Duck Pond

"The police have brought in a garbage truck, and I can hear it crushing the materials used to build the encampment."

Source New Mexico reporter Austin Fisher reporting:

"By 7 a.m. on Wednesday morning New Mexico State Police and UNM Police moved the group from the encampment, taking several people away in police custody. Riot cops stood in front of protesters, about 20 feet away as UNM staff tossed the belongings left at the encampment into a garbage truck with the words 'Go Lobos. painted on the top."

"Police used yellow tape to establish a barrier around the encampment space in the Duck Pond and arrested anyone caught in the area, or who refused to leave."
