Pro-Palestine demonstration interrupts University of Michigan commencement

About 75 protesters disrupted the University of Michigan's graduation ceremony at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, showing opposing signs and chanting slogans.
No arrests were made, and the protest did not significantly impact the event attended by tens of thousands of people. University spokesperson Colleen Mastony confirmed the peaceful nature of the protest.
Demonstrators were escorted away from the stage by state police, continuing to protest at the rear of the stadium. Chants included messages against Israel and the university's involvement in the conflict.
