Eighteen Pomona College students in Claremont, California, faced arrest, charged with misdemeanor trespassing, and one for obstruction of justice.
The arrests came amid a protest triggered by the removal of pro-Palestinian art from the college campus.
Anti-Israel protests have rocked colleges across America with many getting violent and out of hand.
