We condemn Governor Greg Abbott, the Department of Public Safety (DPS), and The University of Texas at Austin’s (UT) decision to use excessive force against peacefully protesting students. The First Amendment protects the right of all people to peacefully assemble. It is imperative that UT students, like all people, retain their unalienable right to express political opinions without facing the looming threat of arbitrary arrest or violence.
