In a “highly organized and orchestrated manner,” they broke windows and furniture, splashed fake blood and disabled security cameras, causing an estimated $700,000 in damages, according to the DA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12023600 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/StanfordUniversity-1020x764.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This was not an anonymous space in a nondescript building,” Rosen said. “It was a working office of people dedicated to students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A public safety officer was also allegedly injured while attempting to remove the students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an \u003ca href=\"https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2024/06/this-morning-s-occupation-of-building-10\">open letter to campus\u003c/a> sent shortly after the incident, Richard Sallar, Stanford’s then-interim president, and Provost Jenny Martinez said they were “appalled and deeply saddened” by the protesters’ actions. Tools found in protesters’ backpacks included an electric grinder, hammers, crowbars, chisels, screwdrivers, goggles, numerous straps and cables, the DA said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We refuse to leave until Stanford administration and the Stanford Board of Trustees meet our demands and take action to address their role in enabling and profiting from the ongoing genocide in Gaza,” the protesters, identifying themselves as an “autonomous group of Stanford University students,” posted in a message on social media, shortly before police arrested them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosen said the activists had been planning their action for days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They had operational plans. They had lookouts. They were scouting out the area to see what time either uniformed police officers or private security would be around,” he said. “They had multiple layers of clothing.

They planned to be there for a long time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12035380\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12035380\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/StanfordGaza1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/StanfordGaza1.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/StanfordGaza1-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/StanfordGaza1-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/StanfordGaza1-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/StanfordGaza1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/StanfordGaza1-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen presented a do-it-yourself guide, saying it closely matches what the students brought with them and how they broke in, suggesting they did some research beforehand. \u003ccite>(Gilare Zada/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The action took place alongside larger campus demonstrations last spring aimed at pressuring the university to divest from companies that support Israel’s military offensive in Gaza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group also spray-painted graffiti on the facade of the office with messages praising “the martyrs,” threatening death to “pigs” and police and accusing Stanford of being complicit to genocide, according to the DA’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Thursday morning, at least four of the suspects had self-surrendered to authorities for booking, Rosen said.

It sits behind a DMV and a battery storage plant. If you drive by, you might miss it. But inside, you’ll find scattered abandoned mobile homes and empty lots alongside trailers where some residents still live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The park has been home to low income residents, farmworkers and some retired folk. It’s been in rough shape for a few years. Things got worse in 2021 when a series of fires broke out, including one that killed a resident. That’s when the city decided to step in and take over code enforcement from the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After several attempts to force the property owner to bring the park up to code, a receiver was appointed to oversee the clean-up. The receiver proposed selling the park. Attorney Mariah Thompson represents a group of people who live there. She says they had just one request. “The only thing we ask is that you do not sell it to Harmony Communities,” they told her. Harmony operates dozens of mobile home parks in California and Oregon. Residents were worried about the company’s history of purchasing mobile home parks, hiking up rent prices and in some cases, evicting tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the residents’ concerns, the city sold the park to Harmony in May 2022. After attempts to increase rent failed in court, residents said Harmony notified them of its plan to redevelop the property. The city also blocked that and then Harmony filed for bankruptcy. In November, a federal judge dismissed the case and appointed a trustee. A non-profit that works with low income families to build affordable housing agreed to purchase the park. But the trustee still has to consider other bids from other investors. And if a corporation decided to outbid the non-profit, the trustee would have to seriously consider it .\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12034641/protesters-slam-trump-and-musk-in-hands-off-rallies-across-the-us\">Thousands Across Bay Area Join Nationwide Rallies Slamming Trump And Musk\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Thousands of people turned out at protests across the Bay Area Saturday, joining \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/04/05/nx-s1-5353388/hands-off-protests-washington-dc\">crowds across the country\u003c/a> who say President Donald Trump is taking the country in the wrong direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So-called Hands Off! demonstrations were organized for more than 1,200 locations in all 50 states by more than 150 groups including civil rights organizations, labor unions, LBGTQ+ advocates, veterans and elections activists.

But residents there are facing an uncertain future as they wait for a federal judge to decide who will take control of the place they call home: another corporate landlord or an affordable housing non-profit.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thousands of people in the Bay Area \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12034641/protesters-slam-trump-and-musk-in-hands-off-rallies-across-the-us\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">joined protesters\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> across the country over the weekend in taking to the streets to demonstrate against President Trump and Elon Musk, saying they’re taking the country in the wrong direction. \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Dozens of visas have been canceled for international students at California universities. This is part of \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/college-international-student-f1-visa-ice-trump-7a1d186c06a5fdb2f64506dcf208105a\">a crackdown\u003c/a> by the Trump administration targeting foreign students.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Ownership Of Fresno Mobile Home Park Still Up In The Air\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>La Hacienda Mobile Estates is tucked away on a busy street just off Highway 41 in Northeast Fresno. It sits behind a DMV and a battery storage plant. If you drive by, you might miss it. But inside, you’ll find scattered abandoned mobile homes and empty lots alongside trailers where some residents still live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The park has been home to low income residents, farmworkers and some retired folk. It’s been in rough shape for a few years. Things got worse in 2021 when a series of fires broke out, including one that killed a resident. That’s when the city decided to step in and take over code enforcement from the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After several attempts to force the property owner to bring the park up to code, a receiver was appointed to oversee the clean-up. The receiver proposed selling the park. Attorney Mariah Thompson represents a group of people who live there. She says they had just one request. “The only thing we ask is that you do not sell it to Harmony Communities,” they told her. Harmony operates dozens of mobile home parks in California and Oregon. Residents were worried about the company’s history of purchasing mobile home parks, hiking up rent prices and in some cases, evicting tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the residents’ concerns, the city sold the park to Harmony in May 2022. After attempts to increase rent failed in court, residents said Harmony notified them of its plan to redevelop the property. The city also blocked that and then Harmony filed for bankruptcy. In November, a federal judge dismissed the case and appointed a trustee. A non-profit that works with low income families to build affordable housing agreed to purchase the park. But the trustee still has to consider other bids from other investors. And if a corporation decided to outbid the non-profit, the trustee would have to seriously consider it .\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12034641/protesters-slam-trump-and-musk-in-hands-off-rallies-across-the-us\">Thousands Across Bay Area Join Nationwide Rallies Slamming Trump And Musk\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Thousands of people turned out at protests across the Bay Area Saturday, joining \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/04/05/nx-s1-5353388/hands-off-protests-washington-dc\">crowds across the country\u003c/a> who say President Donald Trump is taking the country in the wrong direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
