The Trump administration is taking action following an anti-Israel protest at the University of Washington, during which demonstrators seized a building and set dumpsters on fire. Education Secretary Linda McMahon condemned the incident as indicative of rising anti-Semitic harassment on campuses. Thirty individuals were arrested, and officials emphasized that institutions must ensure the safety and rights of all students, particularly Jewish students, amid concerns about escalating radical behavior and harassment within academic environments.
"The violence and chaos that ensued on University of Washington's campus is yet another horrifying display of the antisemitic harassment and lawlessness which has characterized many of our nation's elite campuses over the last several years."
"The destructive behavior is unacceptable. The Task Force will not allow these so-called 'protesters' to disrupt campus life and deprive students, especially Jewish students who live in fear on campus, of their equal opportunity protections and civil rights."
