SUMMARY

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, chaired by Democrat Garza, investigates Trump's aggressive antisemitism crackdowns on college campuses. The commission, which includes four Democrats, three Republicans and an Independent, unanimously voted to begin the investigation in January before Trump's inauguration, the probe demands all Title VI communications on antisemitic or ancestry-based conduct from about a dozen schools, including Columbia and the University of Minnesota.

Starting from the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack, the investigation goes back to the Biden admin and also scrutinizes Trump's executive order targeting campus protests as potential antisemitism.
