Majority of anti-Israel protestors arrested at University of Texas weren’t from the school: report

Over half of anti-Israel protestors arrested at the University of Texas in Austin during a protest earlier this week were adults with no ties to the Univeristy rather than students, according to a report.

The university issued a statement saying “of the 79 people arrested on our campus Monday, 45 had no affiliation with UT Austin.”

The protesters included a former elementary school teacher, a costume designer, a Palestinian store-owner and interpreter, all of whom were between 30 and 59 and unaffiliated with the university according to the Daily Mail .

Authorities confiscated guns, buckets of large rocks, bricks, steel enforced wood planks, mallets, and chains from protestors, according to the school, which said there had been staff members who were “physically assaulted and threatened.”

In addition, protestors “headbutted” police, hit them with horse poop, and slashed their car tires with knives.

UT President Jay Hartzell had called in state troopers to quell the violent protests on April 24 and make arrests.

“These numbers validate our concern that much of the disruption on campus over the past week has been orchestrated by people from outside the University, including groups with ties to escalating protests at other universities around the country,” the school said.

One of the protestors was 55-year-old Julian Reyes, who seems to be a protest regular in Austin featuring his confrontations with police he calls “micro tyrants” on his YouTube channel, according to the Daily Mail.

Reyes was one of the non-UT affiliated individuals arrested on April 24 for criminal trespassing after he allegedly refused to leave despite a notice to disperse given by police, according to an arrest warrant .

Reyes has been arrested at least nine times. He calls himself the “Lizard King” and was seen being arrested at UT while carrying a lizard.

“We’ve noticed an intentional attempt of teaching your students about their legal and constitutional rights,” Deloretto-Chudy read from the review on her TikTok.

Some of the concerns raised by school administrators at the time included why Deloretto-Chudy’s students were sitting in protest during the national anthem, according to KEYE .
