At least two of the individuals were wearing matching lime green hats. It was unknown if those detained were students or if they were part of an organized protest.
A student-led group had called for a sit-in at Moore Hall on Instagram to begin at 7 a.m., but the hall was closed an hour later and Monday classes there are now virtual, the school said. Students are advised to avoid the area of Royce Quad.
By 9 a.m., authorities had moved the detained students to a different part of the parking structure and were not letting anyone speak to them.
Monday’s incident comes less than a week after law enforcement dismantled a pro-Palestinian protest encampment from Royce Quad and arrested dozens of activists.
