Rick Toledo, a Cal Poly Humboldt student, was arrested Friday, March 6 at 1 a.m. by the University Police Department. He is currently being held under a Ramey warrant at the Humboldt County Correctional facility, according to the Humboldt County booking sheet.

As per the California Legislative Information, Ramey warrants allow officers to arrest individuals with probable cause without charging them with an official crime.

The booking sheet listed that Toledo was arrested for felony assault and battery, conspiracy and false imprisonment. El Leñador has not been able to verify if other students have been arrested.

This morning, on March 6 at 11 a.m. protestors began meeting at the courthouse to show their support for Toledo and demand his release.

El Leñador requested confirmation from the university for the number of students arrested due to involvement in the Nelson Hall sit-in. They said they could not provide that information due to the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). El Leñador was unable to verify what led to Toledo’s arrest and if it was in connection with the sit-in.

Protestors committed to three demands: divestment from all ties to Israel, implementation of a sanctuary campus policy and solidarity with the Teamsters union strike.

On Jan. 26, the new Dreamer Center was added to the Balabanis House. Up the staircase to the left, you’ll find the office of Georgina Celda Salvarrey, who stepped into her new role as the Dreamer Center coordinator that same day.

The Dreamer Center will be a hub for students for financial aid, health, food and legal resources.

The Dreamer Center will act as an extension of other cultural resources on campus and provide additional aid for undocumented and mixed-status students.

“I’ve always leaned toward causes where people are needed to fight, so it was logical for me to apply to this job,” Salvarrey said.
