UCLA launches effort to fight antisemitism as Trump says more pro-Palestinian activist arrests ahead

By Thomas A. Smith

The Trump administration on Monday sent letters to 60 colleges and universities 10 of them in California warning of “potential enforcement” against them, days after canceling $400 million in federal funding to Columbia University and accusing it of ignoring antisemitism allegations.

“We know there are more students at Columbia and other Universities across the Country who have engaged in pro-terrorist, antisemitic, anti-American activity, Trump wrote in a social media post. “We will find, apprehend, and deport these terrorist sympathizers from our country never to return again.

Also Monday, UCLA announced a new campuswide initiative to combat antisemitism, with Chancellor Julio Frenk saying the university is at an “inflection point” that compels it to “end hate however it manifests itself.” UCLA was not among the California universities that received the Education Department letter, but it is under multiple federal investigations by the Trump administration into alleged anti-Jewish incidents.
