SUMMARY: More than 2,000 people have been arrested during pro-Palestinian protests at college campuses across the United States in recent weeks. The protests have spread to campuses nationwide, with students calling for an end to the Israel-Hamas war. The largest demonstrations and arrests occurred at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where hundreds of protesters defied orders to leave and formed human chains as police officers in riot gear attempted to disperse the crowds. The UCLA chancellor called the protests “a focal point for serious violence” and said it had fractured the sense of togetherness on campus. President Joe Biden defended the students' right to peaceful protest but criticized the disorder that has ensued.

SUMMARY: The Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) has decided to participate in the Summer EBT program after previously opting out. The program provides grocery-buying benefits to low-income families with school-aged children during the summer when schools are closed. The state had initially cited cost as the reason for not participating, but elected officials pushed back on this decision. The program is expected to start in the summer of 2024, with eligible families receiving $40 per child per month. Additional information will be shared by the DCFS at a later date.
