The movement has garnered support from activists both within and outside the campuses.

Police attempted to clear the sit-in at Arizona State University, but prosecutors defiantly remained on a campus lawn after their tents were torn down and carried away by law enforcement. Demonstrators attempted to gather what they could, and locked arms around a canopy that was left standing.

According to the statement, the students were detained because they refused to remove the tents they set up for the anti-Israeli sit-in.
