Democracy Now!Trump Says He’ll Cut Funds to Universities That Allow Campus ProtestsPresident Trump has threatened to withhold federal funds from U.S. universities if they allow protests to take place on college campuses. In a post to his Truth Social site, Trump also repeated plans to deport or jail immigrant students, whom he described as “agitators,” if they participate in campus protests. Trump added that U.S. students would be “permanently expelled or, depending on the crime, arrested.” Trump’s threats came after federal agencies, including the Justice Department, announced they would be investigating Columbia University over accusations of antisemitism on its campus, referring to the wave of peaceful, student-led actions in support of Palestinian rights. In related news, a third student has been expelled from New York’s Barnard College for participating in a Palestinian rights protest on campus.
