In a controversial statement on Truth Social, Donald Trump threatened to cut federal funding for universities that host what he termed 'illegal protests.' He suggested severe consequences for participants, including arrest, deportation, or expulsion. Legal experts and civil rights advocates criticized these threats as violations of the First Amendment, arguing they attempt to suppress free speech and intimidate student protesters. This directive arises amid increased student activism against anti-LGBTQ+ policies, aligning with broader discussions on civil rights and government overreach.
"All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests," Trump wrote on Tuesday morning. "Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came."
