Day 10
4 documented wins
Campus antisemitism crackdown
The win
Civil-rights enforcement against antisemitic harassment on campuses was expanded, including removal of visa-holding agitators who break the law.
For Americans
Jewish students should be able to walk to class. Universities that let mobs take over buildings find out federal money and visas are not automatic.
Ending radical K-12 indoctrination
The win
Federal K-12 funds were tied to ending illegal race and gender indoctrination, protecting parental rights, and restoring patriotic civic education.
For Americans
Parents who sat through a gender lesson they never approved get leverage. Schools that want federal money have to teach kids, not politics.
Laken Riley Act signed
The win
The first statute of the term — the Laken Riley Act — requires ICE to detain illegal aliens charged with theft, burglary, assaulting police, or crimes causing death or serious injury, and lets states sue DHS for non-enforcement.
For Americans
Laken Riley was a nursing student murdered by a man who should have been detained. The bill is a hard rule: steal, assault a cop, or kill, and you do not get released into an American neighborhood.
School choice and educational freedom
The win
An order directed agencies to expand education-freedom programs so families can leave failing schools without moving house.
For Americans
A ZIP code should not trap a kid. When federal rules stop blocking choice, parents can pick a school that actually teaches reading.
