MAGA DoJ thug Todd Blanche
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, speaking at the Justice Department, said it was all part of the president’s “mission to end antisemitism in this country.”
“Just last night, we worked with the Department of Homeland Security to execute search warrants from an investigation into Columbia University for harboring and concealing illegal aliens on its campus,” Blanche said. “That investigation is ongoing, and we are also looking at whether Columbia’s handling of earlier incidents violated civil rights laws and included terrorism crimes.”
Blanche didn’t say what evidence agents had of wrongdoing by the university. It was unclear whether he was accusing the school itself of “terrorism crimes” or saying that people involved in the protests had committed such crimes.
As is now usual for authoritarian MAGA operations, there is no evidence of crimes and no specific laws were claimed to be broken.
Q: Does Blanche at least implicitly equate criticism of Israel or support for Palestinians with illegal support for Hamas?
