In response to a surge in antisemitic incidents targeting Jewish students, particularly following the Hamas attacks on Israel, President Trump issued an executive order aimed at curbing antisemitism on college and university campuses. The order directs federal agencies to utilize all available legal tools to combat anti-Semitic actions, ranging from criminal prosecution to civil rights enforcement. It also mandates reports from federal departments on measures taken to address anti-Semitism and calls for collaboration between agencies to identify relevant legal measures.
Pro Palestinian students lock arms, sing and chant as they braced for New York Police Department officers to raid campus after Columbia University President Minouche Shafik called on the NYPD to dismantle encampments and remove individuals from Hamilton Hall, Tuesday, April 30, 2024 in New York.
Jewish students have faced an unrelenting barrage of discrimination; denial of access to campus common areas and facilities, including libraries and classrooms; and intimidation, harassment, and physical threats and assault, Trump said in the order. Trump is seeking to end the "federal government's failure to fight antisemitism and protect Jewish students." He noted that the Biden administration failed to enforce Executive Order 13899. Aby several House committees called the government's failure to protect Jewish students "astounding concessions" to organizers of pro-Palestinian encampments while withholding support from Jewish students.
Trump ended his statement by reiterating his administration’s efforts to ensure that the full force of U.S. law is applied to those who promote antisemitic hate or engage in harassment and violence against Jewish individuals. He then vowed that the government would not tolerate discrimination in any form.
