Riot police have cleared a peaceful protest at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
It was one of the largest police raids since nationwide demonstrations in solidarity with Gaza broke out.
Police fired stun grenades and made several arrests.

Live Al Jazeera footage shows dozens of detained protesters waiting in line to be processed chanting slogans, such as “Free Palestine”.
A detained protester told Al Jazeera this was not the end of the protest movement.
“People will be back. It’s not the end,” he said. “Until the genocide ends and the funding … The billions of dollars spent.”
The protester said his message to UCLA was that this was “very disappointing”.

Lauren Victoria Ruiz, a UCLA protester, reflected on the many people she has met amid the demonstration.
“Every culture, creed, gender, sexuality, religion, every single person is represented at these marches, at these meetings, at these encampments,” she told Al Jazeera.
“I’m Indigenous to the New Mexico area. As an Indigenous woman, I didn’t understand my own story, my own pain, until I met Palestinian women who had experienced the same thing,” she said. “I didn’t realise how similar our stories are.”
