President Trump has signed a sweeping executive order to combat rampant antisemitism on college campuses, vowing to take action against Hamas sympathizers and those who threaten Jewish students. “We will not tolerate antisemitic hate, vandalism, or intimidation on our college campuses,” Trump declared as he outlined aggressive new policies.
His executive order:
✅ Directs federal agencies to report criminal and civil actions against antisemitism.
✅ Orders the Department of Justice to investigate and punish anti-Jewish hate on college campuses.
✅ Calls for deportation of foreign students who engage in pro-Hamas activities.
✅ Cancels student visas for non-citizens who support terrorism.
This comes amid a disturbing rise in campus antisemitism following Hamas’s October 7th attack on Israel. Last year, pro-Palestinian protests shut down universities, canceled commencements, and led to thousands of arrests. With many schools reluctant to take decisive action, Trump’s order aims to hold institutions accountable.
