SUMMARY: A pro-Palestine protest at the University of Mississippi in Oxford turned into a shouting match between protesters and counter-protesters. The protesters were evacuated from the campus and the protest was in response to the Israeli military response in Gaza. Over 200 counter-protesters were also present, throwing objects, shouting, and singing The Star-Spangled Banner. The organizers of the pro-Palestine protest are unknown and Governor Tate Reeves stated that law enforcement is prepared to respond to any unlawful behavior. Despite differing views, peaceful protests are allowed and protected, but unlawful actions will not be tolerated.

SUMMARY: A judge in Hinds County, Mississippi has allowed the brother of Dau Mabil to conduct an independent autopsy after Dau's body was found in the Pearl River in Lawrence County. Dau went missing in March, and foul play is suspected by his family. Dau's widow, Karissa Bowley, has consented to the autopsy.
