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.
