Summary

  • Leo Terrell said the Justice Department will keep pressing universities that fail to protect Jewish students as he expands a 15-city "American Tour Against Hate" with federal prosecutors and the FBI.
  • The tour targets cities including New York and Detroit, where Terrell says local officials have not done enough to protect synagogues, classrooms and Jewish communities from rising antisemitic attacks.
  • FBI data cited by the task force showed 1,528 anti-Jewish hate crimes in 2025, underscoring the administration's push to pair civil-rights enforcement with visible federal support on the ground.
  • The campaign broadens the Trump administration's antisemitism crackdown beyond campuses, signaling continued scrutiny of schools and local authorities as the DOJ builds a national response.
