US Justice Department investigating Columbia protests for terrorism violations

The US Justice Department is looking into whether student protests at Columbia University over the Gaza war violated federal terrorism laws, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has said.

Blanche added that the investigation is also looking into civil rights violations tied to the protests last year, as part of Trump’s “mission to end antisemitism in this country”.

“We are also looking at whether Columbia’s handling of earlier incidents violated civil rights laws and included terrorist crimes,” Blanche said.

“This is long overdue.”

Blanche also stated that federal law enforcement had executed a search warrant tonight as part of a separate probe into whether Columbia University harbored undocumented immigrants on its campus.
