President Donald Trump announced his decision to crack down on 'illegal protests' at college campuses, stating that all federal funding will stop for any institution that allows such protests. The announcement came after recent anti-Israel campus protests at Barnard College, where over 50 students stormed a campus building and injured a staff member. Trump stated that agitators will be imprisoned or sent back to their home country, and American students will be expelled or arrested, depending on the crime. The protests have drawn condemnation from Speaker Mike Johnson and have escalated since the Hamas attacks on Israel in October 2023.
