Trump Orders Crackdown on Antisemitism, Targeting Visa Holders and Protesters

[Social Media]

 

President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order Wednesday directing federal agencies to identify all civil and criminal measures available to combat antisemitism, including potential deportation for non-citizens involved in anti-Jewish activities.

 

According to a document outlining the order, agency and department leaders will have 60 days to provide recommendations to the White House. The Justice Department is expected to investigate pro-Hamas graffiti and acts of intimidation, particularly on college campuses, as part of the administration’s broader effort.

 

The executive order specifically calls for the deportation of resident aliens, including international students on visas, who have violated laws during anti-Israel protests following the October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks that led to the war in Gaza. A recent report from six Republican-led House committees urged stronger federal action against antisemitism, including the possibility of conditioning federal funding to universities on stricter policies addressing anti-Jewish bias.

 

The report heavily criticized Columbia University, where a large encampment featured documented instances of antisemitic rhetoric targeting Jewish students and pro-Israel activists. The report also noted that some universities accused of allowing antisemitic activity received $2.7 billion in federal funds during the 2023 fiscal year.

 

Columbia University still a safe haven for people who hate Jews. On the first day of class Hamas supporters invaded a History of Modern Israel Class. Harassing the professor and the students.

So proud of the students in this class for mocking them

The House GOP report accused the Biden administration, particularly the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security, of obstructing records requests regarding the number of visa holders involved in anti-Israel protests.

 

During his campaign, Trump called for the deportation of pro-Hamas students in the U.S. on visas, a stance reinforced last week by an executive order aimed at addressing national security concerns. That order included language asserting that the U.S. must "ensure that admitted aliens and aliens otherwise already present in the United States” do not support designated foreign terrorist organizations, though the precise legal implications remain unclear.

 

The issue of free speech protections has been a focal point in the debate. During a congressional hearing in December 2023, university presidents faced intense scrutiny from Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Trump’s nominee for UN ambassador, after refusing to state whether calls for the genocide of Jews constituted punishable conduct. Their responses suggested concerns over First Amendment protections.

 

Although hate speech is generally legal in the U.S., the recent House GOP report argues that federal law prohibits institutions receiving taxpayer funds from tolerating discrimination, potentially allowing the government to enforce stricter policies against antisemitism.

 

Legal precedents also suggest that non-citizens have fewer speech protections than U.S. citizens. The 1972 Supreme Court case Kleindienst v. Mandel upheld the government's right to deny a visa to a Belgian Marxist, and prior rulings have affirmed the deportation of non-citizens affiliated with anarchist and Communist movements.

 

Some of the most visible pro-Hamas activism in the U.S. occurred in Washington, D.C., where demonstrators carried banners in support of the group as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Congress in July. One high-profile incident involved Zaid Mohammed Mahdawi, a 26-year-old leader of the Richmond, Va., chapter of American Muslims for Palestine, who was arrested for allegedly climbing atop a Capitol monument and spray-painting “HAMAS IS COMIN.”

 

Trump’s latest executive order, which likely includes provisions for withholding federal funds from non-compliant institutions, comes after his administration attempted to temporarily freeze federal aid and halt the distribution of pending grants. However, a federal judge blocked the pause on grants on Tuesday, indicating potential legal battles ahead.

Awesome. Come to the USA and break laws, get sent home.

 

Sane and rational. What a refreshing change of pace from the previous 4 years.

Well I'm in favor of deporting criminal non citizens but it should really be based on the individual cases. In other words the specifics of their immigration status and the severity of the crimes. For example peaceful prorests are allowed in the US even by non citizens. Violent protests are crimes. About the video of disrupting a class if they're students there the School should discipline or expel or if not have the police trespass them.

 

It sounds like Trump's EO is another one of his overreaches.

Also of course criticizing Israeli government policies should not be conflated with Jew hatred though of course in many cases it is used as a cover for that.

Tell that to those that shout Intifada wearing Hamas headbands and burning the Israeli flag.

Non citizens should not have the same rights as citizens and if they don’t follow social norms or what America stands for they should be removed. Get a citizenship and you won’t have these issues.

It does not apply to peaceful protestors. 

 

Vandalize property, harass or assault other students or break other laws and have you visa cancelled.

Although Israel retaliated after 7 October which I don’t blame them for doing so why should you not be able to support which ever side 

what happened to free speech?

The Arabic word “Intifada” translates to “uprising” or “shaking off.” It has been used to describe periods of intense Palestinian protest against Israel, mainly in the form of violent terrorism.

 

“Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”

 

People leading these groups should be rounded up and given a one-way ride to Palestine. I'm betting 99% of these sheeple have no clue who Hamas is and should be given an introduction.

 

ETA: What an interesting college course this could be. Could call it "Welcome To Reality" 101.

   Because they were disrupting college campuses and harming students education .

   Freedom of speech doesn't give you the right to disrupt other peoples lives

He may get to decide the criteria for deportation, but he can't force non federal agencies or private interests to cooperate in enforcing them . And as for his idea of social norms, I kind of doubt most Americans would say that beating policemen is a pardonable offense. To put it another way, America may stand for a lot, but beating policemen is more than it will condone.

Indeed and no amount of deflection can take that away

 

No doubt this is how some of those Visa holders get indoctrinated with their hate and antisemitsm. 

 

Queens, last Friday: Yousry Ayad delivered a sermon praising the Oct. 7 massacre, saying, "Allah granted Hamas victory in Gaza" and calling it a "wonderful moment."

Really? The slaughter of families, the rape of women, and the abduction of kids is "wonderful"?
