US President Donald Trump has threatened to defund schools and universities that permit 'illegal protests,' vowing to arrest or deport agitators. The remarks come amid tensions over student-led protests against Israel's war in Gaza, with accusations of anti-Semitism. Trump's attack on the education system follows past threats to cut funding over diversity programs, transgender athletes, and Covid-19 mandates. With the 2024 election approaching, his hardline stance on schools is becoming a rallying cry for his base.
