Police clear a pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel tent encampment at the University of Chicago.
Protesters numbering in the several hundreds had gathered in an area known as the Quad for at least eight days. Campus administrators warned them Friday to leave the area or face removal. Police in riot gear blocked access to the Quad today as law enforcement dismantled the encampment.
