Protests outside a Turning Point USA event at UC Berkeley escalated into arrests and prompted a Department of Justice inquiry this week. Campus police reported several arrests for noncompliance and alleged vandalism; university officials said one attendee suffered a head injury after an object was thrown into the crowd. The DOJ announced a Federal Bureau of Investigation-led review and the Civil Rights Division signaled interest in campus security and potential civil-rights violations. UC Berkeley said it will cooperate with federal investigators while conducting its own review into the incident and the lead-up arrests. The episode underscores heightened federal attention on campus demonstrations and raises questions about how public universities balance free-speech protections, event security and law-enforcement coordination under escalating political pressure.
