The nation’s top civil rights attorney arrived at the UC Berkeley campus Thursday to announce the federal investigation into Monday’s protest, which is now a top priority for the Trump administration.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon says the protest that took place outside of Turning Point USA’s Monday night event at UC Berkeley went well beyond free speech.

Cameras caught a handful of tense moments during the nearly five-hour protest, but the administration says it went beyond what could be seen.

That’s what prompted the DOJ to launch a federal investigation and prompted Dhillon to personally travel to the campus to gather information and meet with officials from the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
