jaysha. >> good morning, reggie and stephanie. things are much calmer out here at ucla's campus, but it wasn't that long ago where there was just pure chaos happening out here. pro-israeli and pro-palestinian protesters were fighting overnight. and i think the most shocking part about this is that they were fighting for 2.5 hours before police even intervened. and i want you to just take a look at this video so you can really see what happened here overnight. the violence really escalated. just before 11 p.m. you can see people were beating each other up, spraying each other. objects were being thrown at people, and people were even throwing the metal, metal barricades and plywood around. now some people even set off fireworks on campus. and just last weekend, fighting broke out here on ucla's campus, and school officials told us they would have extra security measures and team members here. but in the video we have from overnight, you can see those security guards just standing there while all of this was happening in front of them. lapd

officials said they were in contact with campus police, and california highway patrol also confirmed it was requested to send units. but again, more than 2.5 hours passed by with no uniformed campus police or lapd officers here on scene. no one intervened until about 130 this morning. and it's also really important to note here that ucla is a public university, so their campus is open to the public. so we don't know how many people who aren't even students at ucla came on to campus during those protests this week and overnight . we also know that l.a. mayor karen bass, who is in washington , d.c, right now, she posted online very early this morning calling the violence on campus inexcusable. and we found out about an hour ago she's actually coming back to l.a. early this morning because of everything unfolding. she has cut her trip short and back out here live. still very unclear how exactly this started. how many people were injured and we still don't know how many arrests or if any

arrests were made. but for now, live in westwood. i'll send it back to you guys. it is stunning video okay, thank you so much asha. >> we just got a statement from the uc system president about the protests. amanda is joining us at live desk with what they're saying. >> amanda, reggie, uc president michael drake clearly states the university's proud history of supporting freedom of speech and first amendment rights. but he also supports ucla's message, which states the encampment is unlawful and violates university policy. he says in part, quote, i fully support the campus in taking this step. the university of california must be as flexible as it can involving matters of free expression, including expression of viewpoints that some find deeply offensive. but when that expression blocks the ability of students to learn or to express their own viewpoints when it meaningfully disrupts the functioning of the university, or when it threatens the safety of students or anyone else, we must act. the uc president went on to say. there are countless ways to protest lawfully, but says disruptive and unlawful

protests that violate the rights of citizens are unacceptable and cannot be tolerated. stephanie. >> amanda, thank you. at usc, university president carol folt put out a new statement acknowledging a swastika that was drawn on campus. she says she condemns anti-semitic symbols and any hate speech. folt says the symbol has been removed. she has been meeting with pro-palestinian protesters, but they claim she isn't bringing much to the table to address their demands. in humboldt county, protesters are demanding the release of 25 people arrested at cal poly humboldt yesterday. some had been barricaded inside a campus building since last week. the university says the protesters face charges ranging from unlawful assembly, vandalism, conspiracy and assault of police officers. >> it is literally in our constitution, our right to protest and if they're locking these people up, that is unconstitutional. >> as an alumni of an environmental studies, i have been taught that social justice

is at the front of our concerns in a climate crisis, we are seeing war crime after war crime, and our tax dollars are going to support that. and it needs to stop now. >> all classes have been moved online and the campus is closed until may 10th. >> we continue to follow the so-called free palestine encampment at uc berkeley. it is growing. last week there were 50 tents on the steps of sproul plaza. now there are at least 175. some jewish students say they've been told to request chaperons if they're worried about walking on campus. >> as a jewish student, when i see two other jewish graduate students harassed when they enter that encampment and another who was punched and followed to the police station, that tells me that the university is not enforcing their policy around student code of conduct. >> abc7 news was at the encampment yesterday. a spokesperson for the camp said they did not feel the need to

talk at this time, but they're going to hold a future news conference. this is the last week of classes at cal. next week is a study week before final exams and graduation. in a formal statement, cal says to date, there has been no disruption of university operations. we will continue to try to respond per policy, to any and all claims of illegal conduct for harassment and or discrimination. >> students at stanford claim pro-palestinian protests. there have the university threatening unfair discipline. white plaza is the campus space for free expression. the university allows informational tables from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and says it has policies that include no overnight camping. organizers say they are aware of it and that there could be discipline but say people who aren't involved with the encampment are wrongly facing punishment. but they also say the university is targeting certain students. >> it's a variation of muslim brown, black or some mixture of any of those things. only white students that have been given this disciplinary letter were

anti-zionist jewish students. >> the university issued a statement saying in part, quote, there is evidence connecting individuals to specific policy violations. those involved are entitled to rights and procedures as provided in the stanford student conduct charter of 2023, and will be able to offer a defense. you can follow our coverage of the college campus protests here in the bay area and across the country. over on our website, abc seven news.com happening today. >> a day of action could impact your commute. protesters are planning a series of may day marches and rallies across the bay area. abc seven news reporter gloria rodriguez is here. gloria, one of the demonstrations is taking part taking place, i should say, at the port of oakland. >> it is reggie, the port of oakland protest is scheduled for 4:00 this afternoon, and there are also protests planned at the oakland federal building and the 24th street bart plaza in san francisco. may day is international workers day and seen a march and rally shut down the port of oakland on may first

is nothing new. we have some video of a past rally and today, may day, comes just weeks after pro-palestinian protesters shut down the golden gate bridge and interstate 80. professor rory little of uc law san francisco, says it is unclear what will happen today. >> nobody knows and of course, the protesters don't want anyone to know exactly where they're going to be or what they're going to do, law enforcement is geared up, i think, for a pretty major response. massive effort to keep highways and bridges open. >> professor little says there is much more acceptance of protests here in the bay area, but he believes the recent bridge and highway shutdowns by pro-palestinian protesters angered a lot of people. as for those demonstrations today, the one at 24th street bart, is set for 10:00 in the morning, noon is the one at the oakland federal building. live in the studio. gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. >> gloria 610 this morning and will take you high above sutro

these aren't civilians. these are people that aren't legally in our country that claim about migrants not being civilians would likely face a constitutional challenge. trump was also asked about the potential for violence after november's election. he said, quote, it depends on the fairness of the election. >> stocks linked to cannabis companies are surging this morning after the dea announced it's moving to ease restrictions on the drug, the department of justice is recommending reclassifying cannabis from a scheduled one drug, which encompasses heroin and ecstasy, to a schedule three drug like testosterone and tylenol with codeine. that means it could be lawfully prescribed as medication. some people support the move, but say an estimated 30,000 people are still incarcerated on cannabis charges , as lawmakers are working to change that to, unfortunately, simply moving cannabis to a schedule three rather than removing it entirely from the controlled substances act, which would be de-scheduling.

>> it doesn't actually bring state regulated marketplaces like california into compliance with federal law. >> the change still has to be approved by the white house. >> new details now, scientists say a ship strike likely killed the gray whale found floating off the coast of alameda last month. the 40 foot female whale washed up at crown beach two weekends ago, and it was the first whale death here in the bay area this year. crews found the whale had injuries consistent with blunt force trauma. the california academy of sciences and the marine mammal center are currently investigating the whale's death. >> california's population is growing again for the first time since 2020, a new report shows. the state's population increased last year by about 67,000, bringing the total population above 39 million since the pandemic. the mortality rate has decreased and there's been a notable increase in immigration.

people moving here from other countries to nearly pre-pandemic levels. however overall migration is still a net negative, meaning more people are moving out than moving in. but it's a lot closer to pre-pandemic levels and it's not just about the total number of people. it's also the type of people moving here. >> on average, the people who are moving into california tend to be younger and they tend to have a higher level of educational attainment in other words, a bachelor's degree or higher. >> and if we look at just the bay area, it's a mix. napa solano, contra costa and san francisco counties all saw small increases in population. santa clara county's population is about the same, but sonoma, marin, alameda, and san mateo san mateo counties also decreases. still ahead, the new guidelines on mammograms. women are now being asked to get screened ten years earlier, then a new audit dives into how the city of oakland missed a key
