Green Party Candidate Jill Stein Arrested During Campus Protest

Jill Stein, along with her campaign team, was detained at Washington University amid anti-war demonstrations.

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein was arrested with her campaign manager and deputy campaign manager at Washington University in St. Louis.
The arrests occurred during a protest against the university's ties to the war in Gaza, focusing on demands for divestment from Boeing.
Stein, who was charged with assaulting a police officer, has been a vocal advocate for Palestinian rights and against the Israel-Hamas conflict.
The protest, part of wider anti-war demonstrations at college campuses, remained peaceful until police intervention escalated the situation.
Stein's arrest raises questions about the impact on her presidential campaign and the broader political discourse on U.S. involvement in the Middle East.
