Dozens of protesters arrested at both Texas, USC campuses

The number of arrests among anti-Israel protesters at the University of Texas' flagship institution in Austin and the University of Southern California has reached several dozen already as day turns into night.

Angie Orellana Hernandez, a USC alum and reporter for the Los Angeles Times, tweeted there have been "At least 50 @usc arrests and counting." A later report at 10:30 p.m. ET stated that at least 73 have been arrested on the campus, according to Robert Novacik, a reporter and anchor at NBC LA.

Down in Austin, at least 34 people have been arrested and are being held in the Travis County Jail, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS).

A bevy of college campuses across the United States became grounds for anti-Israel protesters after protesters began taking over grounds at Columbia University, NYU and Yale over the last week.
