Joe Biden's surprise Dublin stop at Trinity College sparked anti‑Israel protests, an object toss, and two arrests as Hunter Biden accepted an award.
POLICY WIRE — Dublin, Ireland — Former U.S. President Joe Biden made an unannounced appearance at Trinity College on Tuesday, prompting a swift response from local demonstrators.
The motorcade that arrived with Biden and former first lady Jill Biden was surrounded by anti‑Israel protesters as the party left the campus, and at least one projectile was hurled toward the vehicles.
The disturbance coincided with an award ceremony in which President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, received a distinction from the university.
Irish police detained a handful of individuals, with two arrests confirmed after the crowd gathered outside the historic college.
Authorities said the arrests were made in connection with the disruption and object‑throwing incident.
