UCLA chancellor condemns ‘instigators’ who attacked pro-Palestinian camp on campus

UCLA attack on protestersThe University of California in Los Angeles was reeling on Wednesday following a late-night violent attack by counter-demonstrators on a pro-Palestinian protest encampment, as the state’s governor condemned a slow response from law enforcement to some of the worst violence seen since students across the US intensified their protests in support of Gaza.

As the Los Angeles mayor called the violence “abhorrent” and California’s governor said he was monitoring the situation, UCLA announced it was cancelling all classes on Wednesday “due to the distress caused by the violence that took place on Royce Quad late last night”.

Arizona Senate votes to repeal near-total 1864 abortion ban

ov. Ducey signs abortion bill

Arizona lawmakers took a significant step Wednesday toward blocking a Civil War-era abortion ban, after state senators repealed the measure the Arizona Supreme Court said last month could stand.

The vote fell largely on party lines, with two Republican state senators, Sen. Shawnna Bolick and Senate President Pro Tempore T.J. Shope, breaking from the chamber's GOP majority to back repealing the near-total ban.

Along with banning abortions in all situations except life-threatening medical emergencies, the nineteenth century law imposes prison terms for doctors and others who aid in an abortion.

The repeal will head to Gov. Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, for her signature. As the Senate was voting, Hobbs told reporters earlier in the day that she would sign it “as soon as it gets to my desk.”

Demonstrators breach barriers, clash at UCLA as campus protests multiply: Updates

Campus protests spread

"Physical altercations" occurred Sunday on the UCLA campus when demonstrators breached a security barrier set up to keep people protesting the Israeli war in Gaza separate from counterprotesters, the school said in a statement.

The clash came one day after arrests on at least four universities as demonstrations and days-long encampments in opposition to the war swept across the nation's college campuses. Students are calling for a cease-fire and want their schools to stop investing in Israeli firms that are involved with or profit from Israel's war against Hamas.

The protesters also want the U.S. to halt military aid to Israel's war effort.

“UCLA has a long history of being a place of peaceful protest, and we are heartbroken about the violence that broke out,” the school's vice chancellor for strategic communications, Mary Osako, said in a statement.

Delta flight makes emergency return

A Delta Air Lines flight that departed from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City was forced to make an emergency return to the airport Friday morning after an emergency slide came apart from the Boeing 767, the airline said. A search for the slide was ongoing.

"After the aircraft had safely landed and proceeded to a gate, it was observed that the emergency slide had separated from the aircraft," a Delta spokesperson said in a statement to NPR Friday afternoon.

In a statement, the Federal Aviation Administration said Delta Flight 520 "returned safely to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York around 8:35 a.m. local time on Friday, April 26, after the crew reported a vibration. The FAA will investigate."

Paramedic Who Injected Elijah McClain With Ketamine Before His Death Avoids Prison

Paramedic avoids jailA former paramedic who injected Elijah McClain with a powerful sedative avoided prison and was sentenced to probation Friday after his homicide conviction in the Black man’s death, which helped fuel the 2020 racial injustice protests.

Jeremy Cooper had faced up to three years in prison after being found guilty in a jury trial last year of criminally negligent homicide. He administered a dose of ketamine to McClain, 23, who had been forcibly restrained after police stopped him as the massage therapist was walking home in a Denver suburb in 2019.

The sentencing caps a series of trials that stretched over seven months and resulted in the convictions of a police officer and two paramedics. Criminal charges against paramedics and emergency medical technicians involved in police custody cases are rare.

Minneapolis witness gets settlement

The Minneapolis city council approved a $150,000 settlement to an eyewitness who tried to intervene to prevent George Floyd’s murder by police in the city almost four years ago and alleges he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder as a result.

Donald Williams, 35, a mixed martial arts fighter who testified against Derek Chauvin in the former police officer’s 2021 murder trial, sued the city last spring, alleging he was assaulted by police while trying to prevent Floyd’s death on 25 May 2020.

The council unanimously approved the settlement without discussion on Thursday, the Star Tribune reported.
