6/11/2026 UPDATE ON FBI ARRESTS AND RAIDES -- URGENT AID NEEDED:
While we continued to fight for Palestine liberation on campus, On June 10th between 7:00 AM and 8:30 AM, FBI agents, state police, local police officers, and the University of Michigan Police Department, conducted a coordinated raid and arrest of 8 activists across Ann Arbor, Canton, Milwaukee, and Chicago.
The FBI and local police violently raided all of the major locations with the Ypsilanti location’s doors and windows being damaged. Personal belongings of the targeted residents were also seized during the final examinations.
By 5:00 PM EST, out of the 8 defendants, 3 were released on bond and now 5 are still in custody until their Detention Hearing on June 12th at 1:00 PM. These charges are both reprehensible and have clearly shown the federal government and the University’s goal to preserve their ability to support Israel and both its continued genocide in Palestine, Lebanon, and its war with Iran.
