Two legal groups that combat antisemitism sent a letter to the Department of Justice imploring the agency to implement KKK laws to prosecute anti-Israel groups at Columbia University for coordinating to foster a hostile environment for Jewish students, which violates their civil rights.

In a Wednesday letter addressed to Attorney General Merrick Garland, StandWithUs and the Zachor Legal Institute alleged that five anti-Israel groups coordinated to “deprive Jewish students” of their rights and request that the DOJ “prosecute those groups … under the KKK Laws.”
