Is UCSD Palestine Solidarity Encampment About to Be Shut Down?

A contact of the Rag’s at UC San Diego has just informed us that the situation on campus appears that law enforcement is preparing to shut down the Palestine solidarity encampment.

Other contacts have confirmed the situation. The encampment — now in its 5th or 6th day — consists of some 50 tents and is mainly near the Geisel Library.

It’s been confirmed that up to 3 bus loads of deputies are in front of the encampment. Most roads into campus are blocked.

Sheriff deputies were seen at 3 entrances to the campus and were blocking the roads, making it difficult for some employees to get to work. Sheriffs rarely make an appearance at UCSD.

One report states medics are not being allowed to enter the encampment.
