Tammy Dang
Tammy Dang [Tammy Thanh Dang] was arrested at a pro-Hamas encampment at Arizona State University (ASU) during Israel’s war against Hamas terrorists. Israel launched the war after the October 7, 2023, terror attacks.
Hamas murdered approximately 1,200 Israelis, injured thousands and kidnapped hundreds more that day. For more information, see the Canary Mission page on Hamas.
On April 27, 2024, Tammy Dang was arrested for third-degree criminal trespass at the ASU encampment. ASU is located in Tempe, Arizona.
The encampment was part of a national movement on college campuses during Israel’s war against Hamas. The encampments were also in support of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement.
As of March 2025, Tammy Dang was listed on the University of Arizona (Arizona) website as working as a library information associate in the Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix.
Tammy Dang's LinkedIn said she was located in Phoenix, Arizona.
On April 26, 2024, anti-Israel activists and ASU students set up a pro-terror encampment to protest Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza. Activists called the encampment, which was located outside the school’s Old Main building, the “ASU Liberated Zone.”
On April 27, 2024, following two separate warnings to clear out the encampment, Tempe, Arizona, city police and Arizona state troopers entered the campus and arrested approximately 70 people.
Law enforcement officers threw away tents that protesters had pitched. One Jewish student reported receiving death threats for helping the police dismantle the encampment.
The arrestees were subsequently charged with criminal trespass and burglary.
At the encampment, activists joined in the pro-terror chant: “When people are occupied, resistance is justified!”
Activists also chanted: “From the River to the Sea! Palestine will be free!” The chant is used to call for the elimination of Israel.
Other chants included support for BDS: “Disclose! Divest! We will not stop, we will not rest!”
There were over 140 pro-Hamas and anti-Israel college encampments set up in North America, and over 20 more globally, in the spring of 2024. The first began on April 17, 2024, at Columbia University. The encampments were unofficially known as the “student intifada,” borrowing a term associated with terrorist violence.
Protesters harassed Jewish students, blocked Jews from campus facilities and shouted anti-Semitic slogans. They occupied campus grounds, in many cases illegally, caused property damage, violently took over buildings, celebrated terrorism and promoted the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement.
Activists set up encampments to oppose Israel’s right to wage war against the Hamas terror group following October 7, 2023, when Hamas murdered approximately 1,200 people, including 32 American and 8 Canadian citizens. Hamas also kidnapped 252 people, including 11 Americans and the bodies of 2 murdered Canadians.
The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement was founded by pro-terror activist Omar Barghouti in 2005 to turn “Israel into a pariah state, as South Africa once was.” Barghouti has also called for Israel's destruction and the BDS movement demands would result in that same goal.
BDS initiatives include calling on institutions and individuals to divest from Israeli-affiliated companies, promoting academic and cultural boycotts of Israel, and organizing anti-Israel rallies, protests and campaigns.
The movement’s most notable achievement has been infiltrating university campuses through lobbying for “BDS resolutions.” In these cases, student governments propose resolutions to boycott or divestment from Israel or Israeli-affiliated entities. BDS activity is often aggressive and disruptive. It has been noted that universities that pass BDS resolutions see a marked increase in anti-Semitic incidents and pro-terror activism on campus.
