Trump Issues Executive Order to Tackle Antisemitism and Expel Supporters of Hamas

by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – President Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday to combat antisemitism, instructing the Department of Justice to take “immediate action” to deport foreign national college students and resident aliens involved in pro-Hamas protests following the terrorist group’s massacre of 1,200 Israelis and the kidnapping of over 250 hostages.

The executive order condemns the “unprecedented wave of vile anti-Semitic discrimination, vandalism, and violence” unleashed by Hamas’ attacks, particularly targeting Jewish students on campuses.

It highlights how Jewish students have faced discrimination, denial of access to campus facilities, and intimidation, harassment, and physical threats.

The order stresses that U.S. policy will “combat anti-Semitism vigorously” and use “all available and appropriate legal tools” to prosecute and remove those responsible for anti-Semitic harassment and violence.

A fact sheet released alongside the order details “immediate action” by the Justice Department to prosecute “terroristic threats, arson, vandalism, and violence against American Jews” and deploy federal resources to address the rise of antisemitism on campuses and in public spaces.

The order also directs federal agencies to provide recommendations within 60 days on actions available to the White House, including the removal of “alien students and staff” involved in pro-Hamas activities.

“To all the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests, we put you on notice: come 2025, we will find you, and we will deport you,” Trump was quoted as saying in the fact sheet. “I will also quickly cancel the student visas of all Hamas sympathizers on college campuses, which have been infested with radicalism like never before.”
