Thousands of Documents Reveal Yale Police Collaborated with FBI to Monitor Pro-Palestine Protesters Using Military-Grade Equipment
Dec 20, 2024, 08:17 PM
Recent documents obtained from the Yale Police Department under the Freedom of Information Act reveal extensive surveillance of pro-Palestine protesters. The Yale Police reportedly collaborated with the FBI and counterterrorism forces in monitoring these protests. The findings have raised concerns about the relationship between private universities and federal law enforcement, with critics arguing that such actions reflect authoritarian tactics against students. Additionally, the documents highlight ongoing fears among former Black Panthers regarding FBI surveillance, which has persisted since the COINTELPRO program. Reports indicate that some former activists have now received confirmation of being monitored by government agencies.
