McGill University temporarily closed its main campus in Montreal as it evicts pro-Palestinian protesters who had been camped out there for more than two months.

McGill, one of Canada’s top institutions, hired a private security firm to clear out protesters and remove tents and other items, while police in riot gear roamed the surrounding streets, which were closed to traffic.
