Pro-Palestinian demonstrators swarm the Port of Tacoma on Nov. 6, 2023, to protest a Middle East-bound ship full of what they believe to be military equipment and weapons. Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protestors swarmed the Port of Tacoma Monday morning in attempts to block what they believe is a ship loaded with weapons and military equipment heading to the Middle East.
The boat, protestors believe, was at the Port of Oakland on Friday.

"Petty officer Hunter Schnabel confirmed to ABC7 News they detained three people on charges of potentially breaching maritime facilities and trespassing laws," ABC7 reported. "The three have since been released and there is an ongoing investigation."
