Trump Issues Executive Order on Antisemitism
Fulfilling one of his major campaign promises, President Trump released an Executive Order aimed at combating antisemitism on college campuses.
Under the order, federal agencies are required to submit a report citing all civil and criminal authorities that can be used to address antisemitism and providing a summary and analysis of any administrative complaints involving antisemitism on college campuses. In addition, the Attorney General’s report must include an inventory of court cases against institutions accused of antisemitism, while the Department of Education’s report must include an inventory of all the Title VI antisemitism complaints it has received and administrative actions it has taken.
The order also directs all appropriate agencies to hold accountable perpetrators of antisemitic harassment and violence, including prosecuting individuals found to have violated the law and “removing” international students and faculty. International students and faculty studying and teaching in the U.S. would face the revocation of their visas and ability to remain in the U.S.
