Judge Mark Scarsi described UCLA's decision to allow a 'Jew Exclusion Zone' on campus as 'unimaginable' and 'abhorrent,' highlighting the severity of the violation of First Amendment rights.
Three Jewish UCLA students filed a lawsuit claiming they were barred from significant areas of campus, including the library, unless they renounced their allegiance to Israel, a condition that violated their religious beliefs.
The ruling centers on enforcing equal access across campus, with Scarsi asserting that if parts of the campus are restricted for Jewish students, they must be restricted for all.
Despite facing legal consequences, UCLA announced plans to appeal the injunction, arguing that it complicates their ability to manage campus protests and events.
