The Denver Post: Eight Coloradans arrested during last year’s pro-Palestine demonstrations on Denver’s multi-college Auraria Campus are suing police over the break-up of the protest, alleging their arrests were unlawful and in violation of their free speech rights.

The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Denver District Court, comes as hundreds of foreign students across the country — some who have been linked to pro-Palestine activism — are facing deportation and visa revocation by the Trump administration.

The lawsuit names as defendants Chief Jason Mollendor and six other members of the Auraria Campus Police Department involved in last year’s arrests on the campus, home to the University of Colorado Denver, Metropolitan State University of Denver and Community College of Denver.
