On Tuesday, about 200 student protesters erected a tent encampment on Yale’s campus but canceled plans to occupy the space overnight, citing threats of “retribution” from administrators. Ahead of his visit to New Haven, Ben-Gvir attended a private dinner in his honor at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate alongside Republican lawmakers.
