Trump signs order 'to combat campus antisemitism'

United States President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to combat the "explosion of antisemitism on our campuses," pledging to report non-citizens who took part in last year's pro-Palestinian protests.

The order instructs government officials to employ "all available and appropriate legal tools, to prosecute, remove, or otherwise hold to account the perpetrators of unlawful antisemitic harassment and violence". In a White House fact sheet that accompanied the order, Trump told "all the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests," that they would find and deport them.

Carrie DeCell, a senior staff lawyer at the Knight First Amendment Insitute at Columbia University said that the First Amendment protected everyone in the United States, "including foreign citizens studying at American universities," adding that "deporting non-citizens on the basis of their political speech would be unconstitutional."
