Columbia University has become the first target in President Donald Trump’s campaign to cut federal money to colleges accused of tolerating antisemitism amid the Israel-Hamas war.

President Donald Trump has intensified efforts to withhold federal funding from universities accused of failing to combat antisemitism, with Columbia University as a primary target. Federal agencies are reviewing its $5 billion in grants and contracts over concerns regarding campus protests.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to imprison “agitators” taking part in “illegal protests” on college campuses, and in the case of foreign students, to deport them to their home countries.
