President Trump is expected to sign an executive order Wednesday instructing all federal agencies to identify civil and criminal authorities available to combat antisemitism.

President Donald Trump is expected to sign executive orders cracking down on campus antisemitism and stripping federal funds from K-12 schools that teach critical race theory.

The groups emphasized that deportations carried out under the executive order must be consistent with the First Amendment and existing laws

Trump signed orders Wednesday to punish schools for teaching about race and gender, promote school choice, and facilitate deportation for some campus protesters.

Fine, who is expected to win election easily, courted controversy for tweeting what observers said was a threat against Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar.

Republicans have placed an emphasis on education in recent election cycles as Trump as pledged ending the Education Department.

Critics say the definition Harvard adopted conflates criticism of Israel with antisemitism and could chill pro-Palestinian speech.

Donald Trump’s new order isn’t about antisemitism. It’s about an attack on immigrants, universities, and pro-Palestine activists.
