US Justice Department intervenes in Columbia University protests

US Justice Department intervenes in Columbia University protests.

According to Al Jazeera, although freedom of speech is emphasized in the First Amendment of the US Constitution, the powerful Zionist lobby is now using all its tools to suppress any protest against the Zionist brutality against the Palestinians.

Accordingly, US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch announced that the Justice Department is investigating whether student protests at Columbia University about the Gaza war violated federal anti-terrorism laws.

Blanch said: The investigation also includes civil rights violations related to last year’s protests.

He added: We are also investigating whether Columbia University’s handling of previous incidents violated civil rights laws and included terrorist crimes. This investigation is long overdue.

Blanch also added: Federal forces executed a search warrant at Columbia University today. The search is part of a separate investigation into whether Columbia University has been supporting undocumented immigrants on its campus.

Student protests at Columbia University began last year in the wake of escalating fighting in Gaza and criticism of Israeli policies. The protests have been met with mixed reactions from university officials and the federal government.

The Trump administration has repeatedly stated that it will vigorously combat any criticism of Israeli policies and any civil rights violations at universities and other educational institutions.

The Trump administration’s Justice Department’s involvement in the Columbia University issue reflects the federal government’s attempt to exert more pressure on educational institutions that appear to have been unable to manage the protests and related issues.

The U.S. State Department has vowed to expel foreign students who participated in protests against the Israeli regime’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
