May 1, 2024 – On Wednesday, Governor Newsom released a Statement on the violence that unfolded at the University of California Los Angeles.

"I condemn the violence at UCLA last night. The law is clear: The right to free speech does not extend to inciting violence, vandalism, or lawlessness on campus. Those who engage in illegal behavior must be held accountable for their actions — including through criminal prosecution, suspension, or expulsion."
