The Trump administration on Tuesday shredded George Washington University as "deliberately indifferent" to what the Department of Justice considers a "hostile educational environment for Jewish, American-Israeli, and Israeli students and faculty."The DOJ announced that its Civil Rights Division has concluded its investigation into "incidents of antisemitic discrimination and harassment of Jewish and Israeli students" and found the Washington, D.C.-based university violated federal civil rights law."Every student has the right to equal educational opportunities without fear of harassment or abuse," Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, of the Justice Departments Civil Rights Division, said in a statement. "No one is above the law, and universities that promulgate antisemitic discrimination will face legal consequences."In a letter to George Washington University President Ellen Granberg, Dhillon said the DOJ finds that "despite actual notice of the abuses occurring on its campus, GWU was deliberately indifferent to the complaints it received, the misconduct that occurred, and the harms that were suffered by its students and faculty, in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964." The DOJ is moving to enforcement and is seeking "immediate remediation."TRUMP BRANDS HARVARD 'ANTISEMITIC' AND A 'THREAT TO DEMOCRACY' AMID FUNDING BATTLEThe Justice Department, which provides direct federal financial assistance to GWU, said it was offering the university an opportunity to resolve the matter through a "voluntary resolution agreement." The state goal is "to ensure immediate remediation of these issues and related reforms to prevent the recurrence of discrimination, harassment, and abuse."Unlike Harvard and Columbia which have both clashed with the Trump administration over anti-Israel demonstrations in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks George Washington University is a private institution. However, due to its location in the nation's capital, federal agencies and global embassies, George Washington University is more exposed to federal oversight and political influence.The DOJ announcement comes a day after President Donald Trump announced a federal takeover of the D.C. police department, citing rampant violent crime in the nation's capital. The federal civil rights investigation found GWU students and faculty "were subjected to a hostile educational environment that was objectively offensive, severe, and pervasive," Dhillon wrote. "The antisemitic, hate-based misconduct by GWU students directed at Jewish GWU students, faculty, and employees was, in a word, shocking. The behavior was demonstrably abhorrent, immoral, and, most importantly, illegal."During final exams and graduation ceremonies in April and May 2024, Dhillon said, members of the university community engaged in "antisemitic, disruptive protests that included the establishment of an encampment in GWU's University Yard."The DOJ said the university received "no less than eight complaints" during that timeframe alleging that demonstrators were discriminating against Jewish and Israeli students. Jewish students, parents and alumni also contacted university leadership to voice "reasonable fears for their safety" as protesters continued their anti-Israel campus encampment. The DOJ also received reports of antisemitic discrimination at George Washington University's campus.TRUMP RAMPS UP HEAT ON HARVARD: HERE ARE 5 REASONS FROM THE UNIVERSITY'S OWN INVESTIGATION"The purpose of the agitators' efforts was to frighten, intimidate, and deny Jewish, Israeli, and American-Israeli students free and unfettered access to GWU's educational environment," Dhillon wrote. "This is the definition of hostility and a hostile environment."The investigation also found "numerous incidents" of Jewish students being harassed, abused, intimidated and assaulted by protesters," Dhillon wrote. "To be clear, Jewish students were afraid to attend class, to be observed, or, worse, to be caught and perhaps physically beaten on GWU's campus."Dhillon cited one Jewish student who described being "surrounded, harassed, threatened, and then ordered to leave the area immediately by antisemitic protesters after exiting the Law School, which is adjacent to University Yard." Her letter said GWU's Assistant Dean of Students instructed the Jewish student to leave because his presence was "antagonizing and provoking the crowd."The assistant attorney general said other Jewish students provided similar accounts of harassment and intimidation by protesters when they tried to cross the campus through University Yard."Protesters surrounded them, yelled antisemitic slurs in their faces, and forced them to flee," Dhillon wrote. "A Jewish student who quietly held up an Israeli flag on University Yard was confronted and surrounded by protesters with their arms linked together for the purpose of restricting the Jewish student's movements."Throughout the encounter, Dhillon said, the protesters shouted slurs and a university police officer standing nearby "did nothing to prevent or intervene in the incident and instead told the student to leave University Yard for his own safety."Dhillon said another Jewish student who stood holding an Israeli flag across the street from the encampment was harassed by protesters who screamed "F--- you, Zionist go die," "there is only one solution, Intifada revolution," "Hamas are freedom fighters," and "Zionists go to hell!" She said a university police officer also told that student to leave the area.Fox News Digital reached out to George Washington University for comment but did not immediately hear back.

An environmental advocacy group accused of trying to manipulate judges has removed and anonymized the names of jurists who worked with the activist network and praised its activities, following a Fox News Digital report exposing an online forum promoting climate litigation updates.The Climate Judiciary Project (CJP), founded in 2018 by the left-wing Environmental Law Institute, describes itself as providing judges with "authoritative, objective, and trusted education on climate science, the impacts of climate change, and the ways climate science is arising in the law," according to its website.The group has been accused by Republican lawmakers, such as Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, of working to "train judges" and "make them agreeable to creative climate litigation tactics." In July, Fox News Digital reported on CJP's yearslong, nationwide forum where jurists privately exchanged climate-related legal updates and information alongside CJP leadership a forum that was abruptly made private in May 2024.CJP's testimonial page boasting praise from jurists who participated in the program was overhauled this summer, including obliterating testimony from a judge identified in Fox News Digital's July report. Fox Digital reviewed archived links to CJP's testimonial page and found Judge Sam Scheele's comments were still public on the site in May but were removed by the end of July following Fox Digital's report.UNEARTHED CHAT SHEDS LIGHT ON COZY TIES BETWEEN JUDGES, CLIMATE ACTIVISTS, RAISING ETHICAL CONCERNS"Its been truly a privilege. I am welcomely absorbing everything that has been brought to us and I look forward to carrying that forward and paying it forward," read a quote from Scheele when he served on Indiana's Lake Superior Courts Civil Division, according to an archived link of the website's page from May.At the end of July, another archived link showed that Scheeles quote and name had been removed from CJPs testimonial page, while four other quotes were attributed to anonymous "participating judges." One remaining quote was still attributed to the former president of the William & Flora Hewlett Foundation, a nonprofit that funds progressive causes in the U.S. It is unclear the exact day the changes were made to the testimonial page.A spokesperson for the Environmental Law Institute told Fox Digital when asked about changes to the testimonial page that updates were made out of an effort to "protect privacy andprevent baseless criticism and harassment.""Judges are encouraged, and many required, to participate in continuing education on topics relevant to emerging trends in the law including those related to science. Recent changes to CJP's website were made to protect privacy andprevent baseless criticism and harassment," the spokesperson said.Scheele was among a handful of judges who communicated on CJP's online forum that ran from September 2022 and maintained until May 2024, according to documents previously reviewed by Fox News Digital. While Scheele's testimony was obliterated from the website's testimonial page, two other favorable quotes from judges were anonymized and attributed to a "participating judge," while two other quotes remained unchanged and were both attributed to a "participating judge," Fox News Digital found.Fox News Digital obtained the archived chat history of the now-defunct chat forum between CJP and jurists last month, which detailed numerous messages between at least five judges and CJP employees trading links on climate studies, congratulating one another on hosting recent environmental events, sharing updates on recent climate cases that were remanded to state courts, and encouraging each other to participate in other CJP meet-ups.CLIMATE JUSTICE GROUP HAS DEEP TIES TO JUDGES, EXPERTS INVOLVED IN LITIGATION AMID CLAIMS OF IMPARTIALITYOne message posted by Delaware Judge Travis Laster, vice chancellor of the Delaware Court of Chancery, features a YouTube video of a 2022 climate presentation delivered by a Delaware official and a Columbia University professor that focused on the onslaught of climate lawsuits since the mid-2000s.It also included claims that such lawsuits could one day bankrupt the fuel industry.Laster shared the video in the group with a disclaimer to others: "Because the link is of a judicial event that is otherwise not public, please do not forward or use without checking with me. I suspect that goes without saying, but the powers that be will be happier that I said it."Scheele was among a handful of other judges who responded to Laster's video and message, praising it as "great work."UNEARTHED CHAT SHEDS LIGHT ON COZY TIES BETWEEN JUDGES, CLIMATE ACTIVISTS, RAISING ETHICAL CONCERNS"This is great work/great stuff, Travis; congrats on a job well-done, & thank you so much for sharing this!," Scheele responded, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital.CLIMATE LAWFARE IN BLUE-STATE COURTS COULD HURT US ENERGY CONSUMERS, EXPERT SAYS: 'HUGE EFFECT'Scheele's office did not respond to Fox Digital's request for comment regarding why his name and testimony were removed from the website.Scheeles office did respond to Fox News Digitals inquiry last month regarding his past participation in the forum, saying he first joined the 2022 National Judicial Conference on Climate Science more than two years before his appointment to the Indiana Court of Appeals."At the last minute, when another appointed delegate was unexpectedly unable to attend, Judge Scheele was asked by Indianas state court administration to fill in as Indianas representative, and he accepted the invitation. As is normal in conferences attended by our judges, this conference addressed emerging, hot-button issues that might come before the courts," Scheele's office said."Judge Scheele does not recall any substantive communication on the listserv mentioned. He, like all of our Court of Appeals of Indiana judges, is dedicated to the unbiased, apolitical administration of justice in the State. He, like all of our judges, educates himself on emergent topics in the law and applies his legal training to evaluate the legal issues before him," the office continued.CJP told Fox News Digital of the now-defunct email list last month that it was created in September 2022 to help members of its Judicial Leaders in Climate Science program communicate and network with one another for the duration of the program.The one-year program, established by CJP in coordination with the National Judicial College, "trainsstate court judges on judicial leadership skills integrated with consensus climate science and how itis arising in the law," the group told Fox News Digital.CJP's educational events are done "in partnership with leading national judicial education institutions and state judicial authorities, in accordance with their accepted standards," a spokesperson for the group said in an emailed statement. "Its curriculum is fact-based and science-first, grounded in consensus reports and developed with a robust peer review process that meets the highest scholarly standards.""CJPs work is no different than the work of other continuing judicial education organizations that address important complex topics, including medicine, tech and neuroscience," the spokesperson added.TED CRUZ CLASHES WITH KEY DEMOCRAT OVER 'SECOND PHASE OF LAWFARE' THROUGH FEDERAL JUDGES' ORDERSNews of the programs outreach comes as the U.S. has seen a sharp uptick in climate-related lawsuits in recent years including cases targeting oil giants Shell, BP and ExxonMobil for allegedly using "deceptive" marketing and downplaying the risks of climate change, as well as lawsuits brought against state governments and federal agencies, including the Interior Department, for allegedly failing to address pollution risks or protect against the harms of climate change, according to the plaintiffs.Sen. Cruz has repeatedly put CJP under the public's microscope, including in June during a Senate subcommittee hearing, called "Enter the Dragon China and the Lefts Lawfare Against American Energy Dominance," where the Texas Republican argued there is a "systematic campaign" launched by the Chinese Communist Party and American left-wing activists to weaponize the court systems to "undermine American energy dominance."CJP, Cruz said, is a pivotal player in the "lawfare" as it works to secure "judicial capture."Cruz said CJP's claims of neutrality are bluster, and the group instead allegedly promotes "ex parte indoctrination, pressuring judges to set aside the rule of law, and rule instead according to a predetermined political narrative."CJP has denied Cruz's accusations, and describes itself as "neutral, objective information to the judiciary about the science of climate change as it is understood by the expert scientific community and relevant to current and future litigation."Judges have previously landed in hot water over climate-related issues in group forums, including in 2019, when afederal judge hit "reply all" to an email chain with 45 other judges and court staff regarding an invitation to aclimate seminar for judges hosted by the Environmental Law Institute. The judge was subsequently chastised by colleagues for sharing "this nonsense" and suggested it was an ethics violation, while others defended that flagging the event to others was not unethical.Fox News Digital's Breanne Deppisch and Andrew Mark Miller contributed to this report.

An Israeli nongovernmental organization is working behind the scenes to provide a critical link between the Israeli military and international organizations with one goal in mind: Get humanitarian aid to Palestinian civilians."We really became this informal connector and facilitator between the Israeli authorities and the humanitarian community," IsraAID CEO Yotam Polizer said.IsraAID has worked in 64 countries and is currently the largest humanitarian organization based out of Israel.UNICEF OFFICIAL SAYS GAZA MALNUTRITION REACHES 'FAMINE LEVELS' AS HUMANITARIAN AID TRICKLES INPolizer says there is broad consensus now that a concerning humanitarian level was reached in Gaza with pockets of malnutrition across the strip. He notes that it isnt only food that is needed by the civilian population, but also medicine, water and nutritional provisions."When we reach severe malnutrition levels, we know that just rice and flour is not going to solve the problem," Polizer added. "We need nutritional supplements, we need people to get protein."ISRAEL SECURITY CABINET APPROVES PLAN TO OCCUPY GAZA CITYFor nearly five months, there was no consistent flow of aid. That has changed in recent weeks with thousands of trucks being distributed along with airdrops of supplies to civilians. Recently, the entry of commercial trucks was partially approved."The declared policy of Israel for two and a half months after the ceasefire collapsed was that nothing comes in," Polizer said. "That was the policy because the plan was to pressure Hamas."The IsraAID CEO says the focus must be on saving lives, not on playing the "blame game." He urges the United Nations, the Israel Defense Forces, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) and all humanitarian organizations to work together and find solutions."As a humanitarian organization, the concept of do no harm is really our Bible," Polizer added.A few months after the war started, IsraAID started to receive requests from global humanitarian organizations they had worked with in Afghanistan and Ukraine, asking for help to facilitate aid deliveries to Gaza.These groups had issues with customs clearance and approval from the Israeli military to deliver supplies to Palestinians in Gaza. These were problems IsraAID could help solve.Despite the political and cultural differences, Polizer said the Jewish community of the United States is stepping up to donate and support finding solutions for the hunger crisis in Gaza."You can support the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, but it does not mean you are anti-Israel," he concluded.

FIRST ON FOX: The U.S. State Departments annual human rights report delivered a grim assessment of conditions in Venezuela, declaring that human rights have fallen to a new low following reports of widespread abuses and state-sanctioned repression, particularly after the July 2024 presidential election when Nicols Maduro clung to power."The human rights situation in Venezuela significantly worsened," the report reads. "Throughout the year, and particularly after the July 28 [2024] presidential election, Nicols Maduro and his representatives engaged in serious human rights abuses, reaching a new milestone in the degradation of the rule of law" after the election, according to the U.N. Independent International fact-finding mission on the country in September.According to the most recent State Department report, credible evidence indicates a dramatic escalation in arbitrary or unlawful killings, disappearances, torture and harsh prison conditions. NGOs and U.N. observers documented extensiverestrictions on freedom of expression, with journalists and human rights defenders facing arrests, harassment and censorship. The judiciary remained deeply compromised unable or unwilling to hold perpetrators accountable for abuses.AG BONDI OFFERS $50M FOR ARREST OF VENEZUELAN PRESIDENT NICOLS MADUROThe report noted that the United Nations International Fact Finding Mission stated at least 25 people were killed in the first days following the July 2024 elections, including two children.Pro-Maduro leaders"harassed and intimidated privately-owned and democratic opposition-oriented television stations, media outlets, and journalists" through threats, property seizures and prosecutions.The sweeping report, which will go public Tuesday afternoon, also calls out Brazil and South America for human rights abuses.In a parallel diplomatic maneuver, the U.S. Department of Justice, backed by the State Department, significantly increased the reward for Maduros capture from $25 million to$50 million. Attorney General Pam Bondi accused Maduro of leading one of the worlds most notorious narco-trafficking operations, including associations with the Tren de Aragua, Sinaloa cartel and the infamous Cartel of the Suns. The Drug Enforcement Administration has reportedly seized30 tons of cocaine linked to Maduro and his allies, with nearly seven tons directly tied to him.US ACCUSES VENEZUELAN REGIME OF NARCO-TERRORISM OVER ALLIANCES WITH TREN DE ARAGUA, SINALOA CARTELThis nullified the previous reward levels $15 million initially set during Trumps first term, later raised to $25 million under the Biden administration. Venezuelas foreign ministry dismissed the bounty as a "political propaganda operation."The State Department report highlights an alarming absence of credible efforts by Venezuelan authorities to investigate or prosecute those responsible for human rights violations. Security forces, including the military, police, and colectivos pro-Maduro armed groups were repeatedly implicated in abuses, yet the justice system remained ineffective, allowing a culture of impunity to flourish.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPMaduro was indicted in Manhattan court in 2020, during the first Trump administration, on narco-terrorism charges.The dictatorial Venezuelan leader held onto power after the 2024 presidential election where the U.S. and much of Europe recognized his opposition as Venezuelas duly elected president.

The federal government argued before a California judge -- the brother of a retired Supreme Court justice -- that President Donald Trump acted within his legal authority by deploying the National Guard and Marines to quell immigration riots in Los Angeles earlier this year.Judge Charles Breyer sibling of President Bill Clinton-appointed Justice Stephen Breyer heard testimony in the case brought by the Newsom administration over whether the federal government violated federal law in its use of the military on domestic soil and/or the 10th Amendment.The case is expected to test the limits of a presidents power as commander in chief, as the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act born out of Reconstruction requires either an act of Congress or constitutional authorization to use the U.S. military for domestic law enforcement.The penalty under that act is a prison term of two years and a fine, at most.TRUMP AND NEWSOM FIGHT OVER NATIONAL GUARD HEADS TO TRIAL IN CALIFORNIAIn the 1997 case of Printz v. U.S., Justice Antonin Scalia ruled in favor of two county sheriffs in declaring that the federal government has no authority to commandeer or compel local law enforcement to take special actions.However, in Martin v. Mott, Madison-appointed Justice Joseph Story wrote in a 6-0 opinion that the president has sole authority to determine when emergency use of state militias (national guards) is appropriate.In court, Breyer said his ultimate decision will have far-reaching consequences for how presidents, including Trump, can deploy assets in other cities, Politico reported as the president used the District of Columbias unique 1970s charter to briefly take control of its police force this week.Acting Los Angeles ICE Director Ernesto Santacruz Jr. testified Monday that he received multiple reports of his officers being attacked in the days leading up to Trumps deployment."We still had officer-assault situations, but they did reduce drastically" after Trump took control of the situation, he said.FEDERAL JUDGE ASKS IF NATIONAL GUARD DEPLOYMENT IN LOS ANGELES VIOLATES POSSE COMITATUS ACTHowever, Breyer has said the anti-immigration riots fell "far short of rebellion" in terms of what would constitute federal intervention permitted under Posse Comitatus.Newsom has argued that Trump went far afield of the 1878 law and violated the purview of Californias governor to control his own National Guard.California National Guard Commander Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman testified Monday that he had opposed the request on Fathers Day for assistance in an operation that day, citing a minimal threat-assessment to officers at the time.U.S. Customs & Border Patrol El Centro Sector Chief Agent Gregory Bovino did not agree with that assessment, according to reports of Mondays testimony.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe trial comes as a related Washington, D.C., situation comes to a head, with Trump using the city charter to attempt to bring order to the District.U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro warned Monday that too many offenders particularly juveniles are getting away with violent crimes against innocent civilians."Young people are coddled, and they dont need to be coddled anymore.

He not only was an ally of mine, he was standing up for you."DESANTIS GOADS CONGRESS TO FOLLOW FL'S DOGE BLUEPRINTIn addition to his volunteerism in Israel, when hurricanes struck the lower Gulf Coast, Collins was on the ground feeding people and helping displaced residents through his charity, DeSantis said."Sen. Jay Collins is the Chuck Norris of Florida politics. And I am proud to announce today that I am appointing him to be the next lieutenant governor of the Free State of Florida.'""I really want to thank the governor and the first lady for their trust and their faith in myself and our family," Collins said after taking the dais."I didn t grow up with privilege or wealth. I was adopted. Raised on my grandparents. I watched my father pass away before I was really a man.

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser and the city's police chief traveled to Justice Department headquarters on Tuesday to meet with Attorney General Pam Bondi and other senior administration officials to discuss the temporary National Guard takeover in the nation's capital.The meeting came hours after President Donald Trump announced plans Monday to temporarily federalize law enforcement in the nation's capital, both through deploying hundreds of D.C. National Guard troops, and taking control in the near-term of the city's local police force.Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Bowser said the sit-down was focused on coordination and strategy with the federal government."What Im focused on is the federal surge and how to make the most of the additional officer support that we have," Bowser said. "We have the best in the business with [Metropolitan Police Chief] Pamela Smith to lead that effort, and to make sure that the men and women who are coming from federal law enforcement are being well-used, and that if theres National Guard here theyre being well-used."IS THREATENING TO 'FEDERALIZE' DC WITH NATIONAL GUARD AND MORE. HERE'S HOW THAT COULD PLAY OUTThe meeting with Bondi and other senior Trump officials, including FBI Director Kash Patel and U.S. Marshals Service Director Gady Serralta, came after Trump on Monday announced plans to use a 1973 D.C. Home Rule Act provision to send National Guard troops to D.C., as part of an effort to "reestablish law order and public safety" and temporarily federalize the city.D.C. officials, for their part, also urged calm on Tuesday, with Chief Smith stressing to reporters that they regularly work alongside federal law enforcement officials. "I think this is going to be a good effort," she said Tuesday."It's going to be an effort that's supported by both teams, the Metropolitan Police Department, as well as our federal partners," she said."What we've done at this point is we have provided the team the administrator with a strategic plan on how we will provide resources around our city," she said."I think it's something that is doable. We know that we have to get illegal guns off of our streets, and if we have this influx or enhanced presence, it's going to make our city even better."FBI OUSTS FORMER ACTING DIRECTOR, AGENT INVOLVED IN J6 PROSECUTIONS, WITH MORE EXPECTEDThe effort was separately praised by Bondi, who described the sit-down with Bowser on social media as "productive.""We agreed that there is nothing more important than keeping residents and tourists in Washington, D.C., safe from deadly crime," Bondi said on Tuesday. "At President Trumps direction, @TheJusticeDept will work closely with D.C. city government and [the] @DCPoliceDept to make Washington, D.C. safe again."Trump has long vowed to "clean up" D.C., a goal he has stressed since his first term in office.Trump in March signed an executive order, "Making DC Safe and Beautiful Task Force," designed to address issues with a city he has long derided as "filthy," "horribly run" and "crime-ridden," among other things."We want to have a great, safe capital," he told reporters earlier this year. "And were going to have it. And that includes cleanliness and it includes other things."Bowser stressed at a press conference Monday that crime rates have fallen in the city, pointing to preliminary figures compiled by the D.C. Police Department and released earlier this year.Since then, "We havent taken our foot off the gas," Bowser said Monday. She said D.C. is continuing its efforts to fight violent crime, even without the authorities of a full state."I cant say that given some of the rhetoric of the past, that were totally surprised" by the Trump administration's efforts, Bowser said during the press conference Monday. "I can say to D.C. residents that we will continue to operate our government in a way that makes you proud."Meanwhile, the DC Police Union also said Monday that it supported the administration taking over the police force, but stressed they backed the move only so long as it is a "temporary measure."
