Wildfire causes partial closure of I-15 at Cajon Pass in California

President Joe Biden on Thursday rejected calls from student protesters to change his approach to the war in Gaza while insisting that “order must prevail.”

Police arrested pro-Palestinian protesters on college campuses across the country overnight, notably at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Action on the bill was just the latest reverberation in Congress from the protest movement that has swept university campuses.

A brawl erupted at UCLA after a pro-Palestinian encampment was “forcefully attacked,” the school’s chancellor said.

The Biden administration said it is evaluating proposals for helping Palestinians living in the United States who want to help their families get to safety.
