Charges dropped against arrested amid pro-Palestinian student protests

57 arrests were made during a pro-Palestinian protest on the University of Texas campus in Austin. All charges were about criminal trespassing and lacked probable cause. County Attorney Delia Garza, whose office handles misdemeanour cases, told the local media that her office agreed with defence lawyers that there were “deficiencies” with the probable cause arrest affidavits, which are the documents filled out by law enforcement to justify an arrest.
