BOSTON, UNITED STATES - 2024/04/26: Encampment protesters lock arms and practice for a potential police intervention of their demonstration at Northeastern University. Tensions started to rise at Northeastern University in Boston on Friday, a day after encampment protesters launched their campaign. Reports throughout the day suggested police would raid the camp and arrest protesters who refused to disperse. Such reports never happened. An encampment at Emerson College, not far from Northeastern University, was removed by the Boston Police Department early Thursday morning, sparking fear the Northeastern one was next. Besides fear of police interference, pro-Palestine and pro-Israel exchanged chants. At one point, campus police removed the pro-Israel counterprotesters as tensions were flaring.
