He attempted to board a flight at Newark to move his family to Spain after receiving death threats, but airline reservations for him and his family were cancelled at the boarding gate despite having boarding passes and checked bags. Bray has been nicknamed Dr Antifa by students and targeted by Turning Point USA activists who claim he finances the movement.
