Trump administration threatens federal funding over ‘illegal’ campus protests

Published



Multiple agencies within the Trump administration are teaming up to crack down on college campus protests and could withhold federal funding from schools that don’t comply.

“All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests,” Trump posted on social media Tuesday morning. “Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
