The spokesperson for the protesting group told ABC News affiliate KOMO News that they are “hoping to remove the influence of Boeing and other manufacturing companies from our educational space.” The group posted about the protest on their social media handles and urged participants to “Wear a mask, and cover [identifiable] features,” and accused the university of being a “direct partner in the genocide of the Palestinian people through its allegiance to its partnership with Boeing.” University officials told CNN that protestors with covered faces blocked access to the occupied building and “ignited fires in two dumpsters on a street outside.” Police entered the building later in the evening and arrested “about 30 individuals” who were inside and the university said they will be charged with “trespassing, property destruction, disorderly conduct and conspiracy.” Super UW posted about the arrests on its social media handles and shared a clip of police officers in riot gear removing the protestors from the building.
