BREAKING | Michigan Judge Dismisses Felony Charges Against Pro-Palestine Student Protesters After AG Nessel’s Controversial Intervention
A Washtenaw County judge has dismissed all charges against seven University of Michigan students arrested during a pro-Palestinian encampment last spring—closing a months-long legal battle sparked by the state attorney general’s controversial decision to pursue felonies after local prosecutors declined.
- Arrested for protest: The students were charged with felony counts of resisting or obstructing police, which carried up to two years in prison. The charges stemmed from a May 21, 2024 police raid that dismantled an encampment demanding the university divest from Israeli genocide-linked weapons contractors.
- Defense: All seven pleaded not guilty and were represented by a team of Dearborn-based attorneys working for free, who cited deep concern over civil liberties and the state’s criminalization of student dissent.
- AG Nessel pushed charges: The felony charges were filed by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel—after the local Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office refused to bring them. Nessel reportedly intervened at the request of University of Michigan regents, sparking backlash from civil rights groups and elected officials who questioned the political motivations behind the prosecution.
- All charges dropped: On Monday, Nessel’s office moved to dismiss all remaining charges, both felony and misdemeanor, effectively closing the case.
Civil liberties groups say the case never should have been brought.
