Several Google employees were arrested on Tuesday after staging a sit-in to protest the company's $1.2 billion contract with Israel, known as Project Nimbus.
The disruptions occurred at Google offices in New York, California, and Washington. Law enforcement arrested nine of the dozens of employees who protested at these locations, according to Jane Chung, a spokesperson for the protestors.
Those arrested were involved in occupying Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian's office in Sunnyvale, California, and the 10th Floor of Google's offices in Manhattan, New York. Google employees who protested in Seattle, Washington were reportedly not arrested.
