Trump to Sign Executive Order Targeting Antisemitism and Pro-Palestinian Protests
Focus on Deportation of Non-Citizens Involved in Protests
Former President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order addressing rising antisemitism and escalating pro-Palestinian protests in the United States. The executive action aims to strengthen the prosecution of individuals involved in violence or illegal activities, particularly those tied to anti-Jewish sentiments.
Action on Terrorism, Vandalism, and Violence
According to a White House official, the order will instruct the Justice Department to take stronger measures against terroristic threats, arson, vandalism, and any acts of violence against American Jews. The directive emphasizes the protection of Jewish communities amidst increasing concerns about antisemitic attacks.
Deportation Threat for Non-Citizens Participating in Protests
Trump’s executive order will also focus on non-citizen college students and other resident aliens involved in pro-Palestinian demonstrations. In a statement included in the fact sheet, Trump made it clear that these individuals would be subject to deportation starting in 2025. The order further stipulates that student visas will be revoked for any individuals showing support for groups like Hamas.
Strong Stance on Radicalism in U.S. Colleges
In the statement, Trump expressed concern over the growing presence of “radicalism” on U.S. college campuses. He specifically referred to the alleged infiltration of pro-Hamas sentiment within student bodies and pledged to cancel student visas for those he claims are sympathetic to terrorist organizations.
Looking Ahead: 2025 Deportation Enforcement
Trump’s pledge to begin deporting individuals involved in the protests in 2025 signals a long-term strategy to curb what he views as a national security threat. The executive order is part of a broader push to confront antisemitism while addressing concerns about foreign involvement in domestic political movements.
