Portland State University president calls for police help after anti-Israel protesters cause 'property damage'
The president of Portland State University in Oregon says she is calling on the city’s police to remove anti-Israel “trespassers” who have caused “property damage” to the campus’ main library.
PSU President Ann Cudd said the anti-Israel demonstrations on campus escalated Monday when a “group of individuals broke into Millar Library, the main PSU library, and entered the building” while “other protesters remained outside the building, blocking access.”
“Portland State University supports free speech. That is what we are all about. And we know that this issue, the war in Gaza, is important to many individuals in our community and emotions are running high. Many feel that the injustices are just too large to ignore,” Cudd said. “And I understand this, but I cannot condone and excuse breaking and entering. I cannot condone the property damage that has taken place at PSU’s library.”
“PSU has requested now the assistance of Portland Police Bureau to remove the trespassers from the library,” she added. Police estimate that 50 to 75 people are currently inside the building.

Cudd said graffiti has been spray-painted “all over the front of the library” and that “all the things that are written on the library are pretty vile and they’re pretty inappropriate.”
“With the breaching of the library and the fortification going on at the library, this has now become a criminal event and it’s no longer considered to be a public order or free speech event and requires a different type of response,” Portland Police Bureau Chief Bob Day said.
Day added that police are working with PSU and its law enforcement “to develop a plan to best approach the situation in the hopes of deescalating and resolving this with no arrests or no amount of force.”

Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt said he expects felony charges to be filed against the protesters, including burglary and felony criminal mischief, along with other possible misdemeanors.
“Our educational institutions deserve to be safe spaces and for our students and campuses to be able to function without fear or threats of intimidation of violence,” he said.

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler also blasted the protesters’ actions, saying “What I hope the people in the library hear is we are unified – the university, the city, the county, the prosecutors, the police, we are all unified and we will not allow acts of criminal destruction or violence to carry the day in our city.”

LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — As temperatures rise in Southern Nevada, animal shelters are bracing for the annual surge of newborn cats known as “kitten season.”
Kitten season happens every year between about March and October, when warmer weather leads community cats to breed, and shelters begin seeing little kittens trickle in.
Animal care officials urged residents who spot kittens in their neighborhoods to avoid intervening right away.
The best thing to do, they said, is to leave the kittens where they are because their mother is likely caring for them.
Even if the mother cat is not immediately visible, she may be nearby searching for food.
The mother cat is taking care of the kittens, and removing them can reduce their chances of survival.
BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT
Their best chance, officials said, is for the kittens to stay with their mom, who can provide nourishment.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – A 36-year-old inmate died at the Metropolitan Detention Center after a medical emergency in custody.
The Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center said Julian Wilgress was in custody when staff called a medical emergency code at about 1 p.m. on April 28.
MDC said Wilgress was booked into the jail on April 27.
MDC personnel said a medical team from the University of New Mexico Hospital responded, but Wilgress died.
The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office came to the facility to investigate. MDC’s Office of Professional Standards is also investigating under standard protocol.
The New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator will determine the official cause and manner of death.
This marks the second inmate death at MDC after Derrick Benavides died on Monday morning.
