Executive Order 14188 of January 29, 2025

Additional Measures To Combat Anti-Semitism

By the authority vested in me as President by the

Constitution and the laws of the United States of

America, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1. Purpose. My Administration has fought and

will continue to fight anti-Semitism in the United

States and around the world. On December 11, 2019, I

issued Executive Order 13899, my first Executive Order

on Combating Anti-Semitism, finding that students, in

particular, faced anti-Semitic harassment in schools

and on university and college campuses. Executive Order

13899 provided interpretive assistance on the

enforcement of the Nation's civil rights laws to ensure

that they would protect American Jews to the same

extent to which all other American citizens are

protected

ti-Semitic harassment in schools

and on university and college campuses. Executive Order

13899 provided interpretive assistance on the

enforcement of the Nation's civil rights laws to ensure

that they would protect American Jews to the same

extent to which all other American citizens are

protected. The prior administration effectively

nullified Executive Order 13899 by failing to give the

terms of the order full force and effect throughout the

Government. This order reaffirms Executive Order 13899

and directs additional measures to advance the policy

thereof in the wake of the Hamas terrorist attacks of

October 7, 2023, against the people of Israel. These

attacks unleashed an unprecedented wave of vile anti-

Semitic discrimination, vandalism, and violence against

our citizens, especially in our schools and on our

campuses. Jewish students have faced an unrelenting

barrage of discrimination; denial of access to campus

common areas and facilities, including libraries and

classrooms; and intimidation, harassment, and physical

threats and assault. A joint report by the House

Committees on Education and the Workforce, Energy and

Commerce, Judiciary, Oversight and Accountability,

Veterans' Affairs, and Ways and Means calls the Federal

Government's failure to fight anti-Semitism and protect

Jewish students ``astounding.'' This failure is

unacceptable and ends today.

Education, and the Secretary of Homeland Security, in

consultation with each other, shall include in their

reports recommendations for familiarizing institutions

alien students and staff relevant to those grounds and

for ensuring that such reports about aliens lead, as

appropriate and consistent with applicable law, to

investigations and, if warranted, actions to remove

such aliens.
