Tensions flared at the University of New Mexico on Monday when two men, Kevin Castro and Harrison Magnus, were arrested by campus police in connection with a Turning Point USA event. Court documents revealed that Castro is facing charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, disorderly conduct, and conspiracy after allegedly hurling a lacrosse ball at the crowd, narrowly missing a bystander. Magnus was arrested on charges of conspiracy, disorderly conduct, and concealing identity, with authorities stating he was overheard discussing plans with Castro to throw objects into the event. The university confirmed the arrests, emphasizing its commitment to free expression while denouncing violence and unlawful behavior on campus. This incident follows a separate, unrelated event in New Hampshire where a 70-year-old poet was arrested for allegedly slapping a Turning Point Action member outside a polling location after an apparent verbal altercation.
