Trump launches anti-Semitism crackdown as he orders deportation of pro-Hamas students who terrorized campuses
President Donald Trump is ordering the deportation of foreign students who took part in pro-Hamas protests on college campuses as he launches a wide-ranging crackdown on anti-Semitism.
A new executive order will target resident aliens - including students with visas - who broke laws during demonstrations in the wake of the October 7th attacks in Israel.
Trump said he would instruct his Justice Department to 'aggressively prosecute terroristic threats, arson, vandalism and violence against American Jews.'The video player is currently playing an ad.
He added: 'To all the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests, we put you on notice...we will find you, and we will deport you.
'I will also quickly cancel the student visas of all Hamas sympathizers on college campuses, which have been infested with radicalism like never before.'
It was the latest in a slew of orders Trump has signed since becoming president as he looks to fulfill his campaign promises.
Many universities, particularly Columbia University in New York City, became the site of pro-Palestinian protests last year during the Israel-Hamas war
The students involved made radical demands that their schools sever financial ties to Israel and that the U.S. end its military support for its longtime ally.
President Donald Trump will sign an executive order on Wednesday focused on combatting anti-Semitism
Trump's latest order, first reported by the New York Post, gives leaders of government agencies and departments 60 days to provide the White House with recommendations on how to identify anti-Semitic threats.
It comes as Trump invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House next week as the first foreign leader to visit in his second term.
The U.S. is pushing Israel and Hamas to keep its ceasefire in place. Talks about the ceasefire's more difficult second phase, which aims to end the war, begin next Monday.
Trump's latest executive order, due to be signed on Wednesday, is his second focusing on anti-Semitism.
He signed another executive order last week calling for the removal of foreign visa holders who 'advocate for, aid, or support designated foreign terrorists and other threats to our national security.'
During a rally in New Jersey last May, Trump promised: 'When I am president we will not allow our colleges to be taken over by violent radicals. And if you come here from another country and try to bring jihadism or anti-Americanism or anti-Semitism to our campuses we will immediately deport you.'
