President Donald Trump has set security guidelines for protests at universities that receive federal funding. The administration is particularly concerned about pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel demonstrations which have resulted in Jewish students and faculty being targeted on campuses.
Today is a deadline President Trump’s administration set for Columbia University to comply with conditions and policy changes in order to have $400 million in funding restored and maintain a “continued financial relationship” with the federal government. The conditions include banning masks, granting public safety officers the authority to arrest and remove agitators, and the abolition of the University Judicial Board.
After U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested a former Columbia student last week for organizing intimidation campaigns and advocating for Hamas, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, “No one has a right to a student visa. … There are kids at these schools that can’t go to class. You pay all this money to these high-priced schools that are supposed to be of great esteem, and you can’t even go to class. You’re afraid to go to class because these lunatics are running around with covers on their face, screaming terrifying things.”
President Trump is expected to visit Trump Tower in New York City to celebrate his son Barron’s 19th birthday today. Barron is a freshman at New York University.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For safety for the president and members of the First Family as they celebrate Barron’s 19th birthday.
- For President Trump and his advisors to receive God’s guidance as they seek to increase national security by deporting supporters of terrorism.
- That Secretary Rubio would be led by the Lord as he heads diplomatic efforts around the world.
