Task Force to Combat Antisemitism Targets Big Cities
In a move to combat a rising tide of antisemitism in the nation’s schools and college campuses, the Federal Task Force to Combat Antisemitism has notified the local leaders of New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Boston that it wants to meet with them to discuss their responses to incidents of antisemitism over the last two years.
According to the Task Force, the meetings will involve city leadership, impacted students, local law enforcement, and community members as it gathers information about these incidents and considers whether federal intervention is warranted.
Leading Task Force member and Senior Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Leo Terrell informed Eric Adams of New York, Karen Bass of Los Angeles, Brandon Johnson of Chicago, and Michelle Wu of Boston that the Task Force is aware of allegations that the schools in their respective cities may have failed to protect Jewish students from unlawful discrimination, in potential violation of federal law.
“Too many elected officials chose not to stand up to a rising tide of antisemitism in our cities and campuses following the horrific events of October 7, 2023,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “Actions have consequences – inaction does, too.”
The Task Force looks forward to meeting with the mayors and other municipal leaders in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Boston to quickly and effectively identify ways that, working together or apart, we return safety, civility, and sanity to our nation’s schools.
President Trump’s Executive Order on Additional Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism can be found at Additional Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism – The White House.
Those who believe they have been discriminated against can file a complaint with the Civil Rights Division at civilrights.justice.gov.
