In an effort to combat anti-Semitism, former US President Donald Trump signed an executive order leading to a significant policy change.

This order affects foreign students and individuals involved in pro-Palestinian protests, paving the way for their deportation back to their home countries. The Justice Department is set to take immediate action as detailed in a brief explaining this executive order.

Increased Punitive Measures for Protest Participants

The Trump administration is taking firm steps to address what it perceives as a surge in anti-Semitic activities on campuses and streets across the country.

This new order focuses on prosecuting threats posed to American Jewish communities, including of acts of terrorism, arson, vandalism, and violence.
