Executive order aims to combat antisemitism
President Trump signed an executive order Wednesday aimed at combating antisemitism on college campuses and in communities across the nation.
The order calls on every federal executive department and agency leader to review and report to the White House within 60 days on all criminal and civil authorities and actions available for fighting antisemitism.

It also instructs the Department of Justice to act promptly on investigating antisemitic acts and allows the removal of resident aliens who violate laws.
Trump pledged on the campaign trail to protect the civil rights of Jewish citizens saying, “My promise to Jewish Americans is this: With your vote, I will be your defender, your protector, and I will be the best friend Jewish Americans have ever had in the White House.”
