Students protesting the Israel-Hamas war at universities across the U.S. dug in on Saturday and vowed to keep their demonstrations going despite ongoing clashes with law enforcement called to remove protesters.
Early Saturday, police began clearing out a Pro-Palestinian student encampment on the campus of Northeastern University in Boston. The school said the demonstration, which began two days ago, had become "infiltrated by professional organizers" with no affiliation to the school.
The school said in a statement that antisemitic slurs, including "Kill the Jews," were used.
Nine bodies were found Wednesday in a northern Mexican state reeling from a wave of drug cartel-related violence, authorities said, in the second such discovery in as many days. A homicide investigation was launched after the bodies of nine men were found in the city of Morelos in Zacatecas, the state prosecutor's office said.
Alabama has scheduled a date for the upcoming execution of Alan Eugene Miller, a convicted murderer who, after surviving a previous execution attempt, is set to become the second inmate ever put to death using nitrogen gas in the United States. Nitrogen hypoxia is a controversial method allowed only in a handful of U.S. states that essentially aims to asphyxiate the prisoner with a gas mask devoid of oxygen.
