More than 150 demonstrators protested an event with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s head lawyer at the UCLA School of Law on Tuesday.
The UCLA Federalist Society – a chapter of the national conservative legal organization – hosted James Percival, general counsel of the DHS, for an event called “Inside DHS: A Conversation with General Counsel.” About 70 people, including protesters, attended the event – about 50 of whom walked out after the moderator said he would only ask Percival pre-screened questions.
