The Trump administration has sought to penalise pro-Palestine political activity and deport foreign-born student activists.
The United States Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), alleging that its “administration turned a blind eye to – and at times facilitated – grossly antisemitic acts”.
Tuesday’s lawsuit marks the latest example of a campaign under President Donald Trump to crack down on campuses that hosted large pro-Palestinian protests.

In a statement, the Department of Justice said that the university had created a “hostile work environment” for Jewish and Israeli workers amid protests against Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.
