Police arrest protesters as Biden visits son in Dublin varsity2

At least two people were arrested during former U.S. President Joe Biden's surprise visit to Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, on Tuesday. Biden brought his wife, Jill Biden, to attend a ceremony where their son, Hunter Biden, was awarded the Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution for Public Discourse. Pro-Palestinian protesters gathered outside the College Historical Society as the family visited, but some were detained by Irish police, or gardaí, as the former president and his family left the venue.

Objects were thrown at the family, according to Irish broadcaster RTÉ. Multiple garda officers and public order police vans were present to manage the situation, resulting in at least two arrests.
