U.S. Capitol Police was forced to quickly arrest 25 people and remove several protesters in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wheelchairs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wheelchairs</a> from the hearing room amid chants of 'no cuts to Medicaid' and waste, fraud and abuse my ass.'"Committee Chair Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.) repeatedly pounded his gavel and said that 'disruption of Congressional business is a violation of law and is a criminal offense.' " 'People feel very strongly because they know they’re losing their health care,' said ranking member Frank Pallone (D-N.J)., asking police not to arrest protesters if possible.

Julie Farrar — an activist with ADAPT, a disability rights organization — said there were about 90 people with her group, many of whom are on Medicaid and some who are direct care workers."Read more: <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/05/13/congress/medicaid-cut-protestors-disrupt-gop-megabill-markup-00345841" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/05/13/congress/medicaid-cut-protestors-disrupt-gop-megabill-markup-00345841</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Medicaid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Medicaid</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Project2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Project2025</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DOGE</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DisabilityServices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DisabilityServices</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MedicaidCuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MedicaidCuts</a>

At the height of the school’s encampment against Israel’s war on Gaza last spring, one of hundreds across the country, a mob of pro-Israel protesters attacked pro-Palestine protesters for more than four hours. On the night of April 30, 2024, police stood by and watched as counter-protesters aimed and shot fireworks, sprayed chemical agents, harassed, and sexually assaulted pro-Palestine protesters, students and faculty alleged last month in a separate, ongoing lawsuit. Related NYU Demands Law Students Renounce Protests or Be Barred from Sitting Final Exams The day after the melee, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, UCLA administrators, and seven different law enforcement agencies laid plans to dismantle the school’s encampment for good. UCLA invited multiple outside police forces to campus to clear the encampments on May 1. More than 700 police officers from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the Los Angeles Police Department, California Highway Patrol, the University of California Police Department, and private security were on campus the night of the raid. Protesters are now suing the state of California, which oversees California Highway Patrol, and the city of Los Angeles, which oversees the LAPD, for violence against the demonstrations. The police fired more than 50 rounds of rubber bullets at protesters, striking several people in the head; some of the injuries sent demonstrators to the hospital.Read more: <a href="https://theintercept.com/2025/05/05/ucla-gaza-protesters-sue-cops-rubber-bullets/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://theintercept.com/2025/05/05/ucla-gaza-protesters-sue-cops-rubber-bullets/</a>Archived version: <a href="https://archive.ph/j4Duj" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.ph/j4Duj</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ACAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ACAB</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SilencingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SilencingDissent</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreePalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreePalestine</a>
