Dallas Police Arrest 12 for Anti-Israel Protests

Dallas police say 12 people were arrested after allegedly becoming unruly as part of an anti-Israel protest that spilled over into a nearby building.

The protest took place in Uptown Dallas around 5 p.m. on Friday, and after calling for backup, police arrested nine on charges of criminal trespass, two for interference with public duties, and one for interference, resisting, and assaulting a public servant. 

The same group organizing the protest later staged a sit-in protest at the jail where the detainees were placed. No further arrests were made.

San Antonio Considering More Than $350 Million Toward Spurs Project

San Antonio officials confirmed plans to contribute between $350 million and $500 million toward a $1.5 billion downtown arena project anchored by the Spurs, following nearly a year of discussions.

The source of the funding, according to City Manager Erik Walsh, may come from leasing the property to the Spurs and others, or revenue generated from a special Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ).

Multiple residents voiced opposition to the city’s plans during the meeting and at a protest outside City Hall.

City officials emphasized the numbers are not final and remain subject to change following community engagement sessions and an economic analysis. You can see a video of the testimonies here.
