Donald Trump has announced the cessation of all federal funding to educational institutions in the United States that permit protests.
In a statement, Trump said that funding would be stopped for institutions that allow illegal protests. He also stated that protesters would be jailed or deported.
Trump has been highly critical of protests in US schools, colleges, and universities against Israeli attacks on Gaza.
In January, he signed an executive order that directed the expulsion of students who participated in protests.
Protests in support of Palestinians have been held worldwide, and such protests in the US are protected under the First Amendment which provides constitutional protection for freedom of speech and assembly.
