Chuck Darwin<p>Trump says pressure on Columbia is only the beginning for college campuses </p><p>Trump’s crackdown on alleged "antisemitism" on college campuses is alarming students and instructors <br>-- who say the administration is trying to outlaw criticism of Israel’s war in Gaza and bend universities to his will.<br>
Trump says he’s just getting started.<br>
Since last Saturday’s detention of a Columbia University graduate student and green card holder without criminal charges, <br>the Department of Homeland Security has publicized the removal of two students who participated in Gaza protests at the school. </p><p>Federal agents entered two dorms on the New York campus with search warrants Thursday night, <br>the university’s interim president announced, saying she was <br>“heartbroken.” No one was arrested.

Several agencies sent a joint letter demanding disciplinary changes <br>and the right to monitor an academic department <br>as a precondition to restoring $400 million in federal funding. </p><p>Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Justice Department is investigating Columbia not only for civil rights violations but also for<br> “terrorism crimes.”

Administration officials, including Trump, have been vague about what constitutes "antisemitism". </p><p>But the crackdown fulfills multiple campaign promises: </p><p>a pledge to stand with American Jews [Ha! Trump is the antisemite], <br>whom he heavily courted for their votes in November; </p><p>a promise to combat “anti-American” behavior on liberal campuses [Again, Trump is Anti American]</p><p>and, perhaps his top policy priority, <br>the deportation of noncitizens living in the United States illegally [Now you found it].<br>
What is clear is that Trump is willing to use the full power of the federal government, <br>including its purse strings, to dramatically change behavior <br>— by both students and administrators <br>— on college campuses. </p><p>Trump applauded the detention of Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil and called it “the first arrest of many to come.”<br>
“The chill seems to be the point here,” <br>said Will Creeley, legal director at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. </p><p>“If we say that folks who are here lawfully, even those folks who have committed no crime, need to watch what they say, lest they get a knock on the door in the middle of the night, <br>we’re essentially no better than the countries that folks have left for decades and centuries to come here.”


On Thursday, Columbia announced expulsions, multiyear suspensions, temporary degree revocations and other punishments for students who the university said had violated rules while protesting the Israel-Gaza war. </p><p>The actions stemmed from high-profile protests last spring that sparked a national movement of tent encampments and police crackdowns across the country. </p><p>It also animated a campaign rallying cry by Trump and other Republicans, <br>who lambasted elite college presidents for struggling to distinguish protected free expression from misconduct, <br>leading to resignations at Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania.

Columbia has been investigating and holding hearings for nearly a year.<br>
The Trump administration’s letter to the university, from the Education and Health and Human Services departments and the General Services Administration, <br>directed school officials to expel or suspend protesters who joined an encampment and seized a university building last year. </p><p>The letter, obtained by The Washington Post, also demanded that the school define antisemitism, <br>ban masks, <br>"reform" admissions <br>and impose five years of academic receivership for its department of Middle East, South Asian and African studies.</p><p>
The letter set a deadline of March 20 for the measures as a <br>“precondition for formal negotiations regarding Columbia University’s continued financial relationship with the United States government.” </p><p>And it shocked advocates for free speech.<br>
“The subjugation of universities to official power is a hallmark of <a href="https://c.im/tags/autocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>autocracy</span></a>,” <br>said Jameel Jaffer, executive director of the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia. </p><p>“No one should be under any illusions about what’s going on here.”

The ripple effects are already apparent.<br>
On Tuesday, Columbia Journalism School held a meeting with students to talk about free speech and reporting after Khalil’s arrest. </p><p>Someone asked what the school was doing to protect visa-holding students from arrest and deportation. </p><p>The school’s dean, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Jelani" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Jelani</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Cobb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cobb</span></a>, said that he would do anything in his power to protect students and their ability to report <br>but that no one has the capacity to stop DHS from jeopardizing their safety.<br>
“These are, in fact, dangerous times,” <br>Cobb posted later on social media. </p><p>“They require as much caution as they do courage.”<br>
DHS said Friday that it revoked the visa of a Columbia student from India who participated in protests <br>and that she left the country on Tuesday, <br>releasing surveillance footage of her departure. </p><p><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/03/15/trump-columbia-antisemitism-protests/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">washingtonpost.com/politics/20</span><span class="invisible">25/03/15/trump-columbia-antisemitism-protests/</span></a></p>

With Fulton county as the largest haul of votes, this deficit is a bit of a concern for Dems.</p><p>Otherwise, for rural counties, I'm seeing nearly identical returns as in 2020. If there are Republican crossover voters in this election, they weren't in the rural counties of <a href="https://theatl.social/tags/Georgia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Georgia</span></a>.</p>

The most interesting takeaway from the crosstabs? </p><p>1️⃣ Independent voters favor 🔴 <a href="https://theatl.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> by +4...but they are also splitting their vote with 🟡 Libertarian Candidate Chase <a href="https://theatl.social/tags/Oliver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Oliver</span></a>, with 5% of the Libertarian vote.</p><p>2️⃣ The gender divide is wild.
