Previously, GWU\u2019s chapter of Students For Justice In Palestine made a similar demand on May 3rd, \u201ccalling on the administration to bar Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and reject compliance with federal deportation orders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Students For Justice In Palestine also called President Trump\u2019s policies a \u201cterror campaign\u201d and said the university was taking \u201cblood money\u201d by agreeing to comply with federal immigration law.<\/p>\n<p>In yet another example of irrational intersectionality Students for Justice In Palestine circulated a petition saying t<span>he University\u2019s silence in the face of federal intimidation is \u201cviolence against its noncitizen community members.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The petition continued, <\/span>\u201cWhile schools across the nation stand tall against [Department of Homeland Security] and ICE cruelty, GW has promised to \u2018do what is required\u2019 to continue receiving this administration\u2019s blood money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like other absurd campus groups, they use euphemisms to obscure their true intent. Noncitizen means illegal.<\/p>\n<p>This is but one absurd example of leftist open borders activism on this campus. Previously, GWU faculty <a href=\"https:\/\/www.campusreform.org\/article\/chapter-faculty-justice-palestine-org-accused-influencing-student-led-antisemitic-activism-formed-george-washington-university-\/26926\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced<\/a> the formation of a Faculty for Justice in Palestine chapter, expressing support for divestment from Israel and solidarity with radical student demonstrators.<\/p>\n<p>The University has previously come under federal scrutiny.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump Justice Department concluded GWU violated civil rights laws by not addressing harassment against pro-Israel students in 2024 during the anti-Israel protests.<\/p>\n<p>The DOJ wrote, \u201cThe administration took no meaningful action and allowed abhorrent, immoral, and illegal conduct to persist.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"tgp-post-above-comments\">\n<div class=\"adcovery-postbelow-01\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2025\/08\/george-washington-university-faces-pressure-become-sanctuary-campus\/\">George Washington University Faces Pressure To Become \u2018Sanctuary Campus\u2019<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/\">The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to\u00a0Campus Reform, \u201cMore than 45 student groups at George Washington University (GWU) signed a petition calling on<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52857","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
