- Federal indictment unsealed against eight pro-Palestinian activists for alleged intimidation campaign — Federal prosecutors unsealed an indictment against eight pro-Palestinian activists accused of conspiring to run a criminal intimidation campaign against University of Michigan officials to force divestment from Israel-linked companies. The indictment describes vandalism, fake corpses placed on a board member's lawn, spray-painted anti-Israel messages at the president's home, and use of social media to broadcast threats. Six defendants made initial appearances in federal court in Detroit on Wednesday; one was arrested in Wisconsin and one remained at large.
