In an apparent effort to address the millions of backlogged immigration cases, the Justice Department made a rule change to allow attorneys without immigration law experience to act as temporary immigration judges.The DOJs Office of Immigration Review published the rule in the federal register Thursday, which removes the requirement that temporary immigration judges have substantive prior experience in immigration law.Jurists who are approved by Attorney General Pam Bondi may serve as immigration judges, which represents a tide change after more than 100 judges were fired or bought out by the Trump administration earlier in 2025.The DOJ hopes that by expanding the net as to who may hear immigration-related cases, the more than three million case backlog may finally be assuaged.DOJ FACES OFF WITH ENTIRE MARYLAND FEDERAL BENCH OVER AUTOMATIC PAUSES IN DEPORTATION CASESThe "department no longer believes the restriction of TIJs to current department employees with a threshold level of immigration law experience serves EOIRs interests," the entry in the federal register read."Immigration law experience is not always a strong predictor of success as an (immigration judge) and EOIR has hired individuals from other federal agencies and Department components without prior immigration experience who have become successful and exemplary (immigration judges)," it went on.TRUMP ADMIN SEEKS TO OVERTURN FEDERAL RESTRAINING ORDER LIMITING ICE OPERATIONS IN LOS ANGELESThe rule further stated that there is no clear reason why attorneys who have argued before prominent courts on nonimmigration matters or clerked for the Supreme Court should be disqualified from serving in an immigration-related capacity.The "need for assistance in fairly and efficiently adjudicating immigration cases has only increased since EOIR first adopted a plan to utilize TIJs in 2014. However, that original plan has proven largely ineffectual, requiring the agency to update it in order to ensure a more robust applicant pool to provide the assistance EOIR needs," the rule later stated, adding it allows for the "greatest degree of flexibility" in finding highly qualified temporary immigration judge candidates.Dozens of immigration judges were fired as of July, with some filing formal appeals of their dismissals.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPSome of those sent packing claimed that prior decisions, gender discrimination and, in one case, a courthouse tour given to Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., are behind the decisions.The Justice Department referred Fox News Digital to a background section in the federal register that said that the rule change is meant to "assist with the immigration courts' substantial caseload.""The EOIR director, with the approval of the attorney general, may designate or select TIJs, which have the authority of an IJ to adjudicate assigned cases and administer immigration court matters," it continued in part.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Jeremy Miller thanked his TV family, Kirk Cameron and the late Alan Thicke, for helping him out of a difficult period in his life.Miller, 48, grew up in front of the camera as one of the stars of the popular 1980s family sitcom, "Growing Pains." He admitted that Thicke, who played his TV dad Dr. Jason Seaver, and Cameron, who played his older brother Mike, came to his rescue when he was on "the brink of homelessness.""He was just one of the most amazing men," Miller said of Thicke in a Youngstown Studio interview. The actor died in 2016 at the age of 69.FRANKIE MUNIZ SUFFERS FREAK BACKYARD ACCIDENT THAT SIDELINES NASCAR CAREER FOR SEVERAL WEEKSMiller recalled the impact of the economic crash in 2008 and said he was "really struggling" when his catering company went under."I mean, really struggling on the brink of homelessness," Miller said before revealing that not only did Thicke offer assistance, but co-star Kirk Cameron was also ready to help.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS"Things got really bad, and Alan and Kirk were the only two who stepped up to help me. Alan set up interviews with all of his restaurateur friends in Santa Barbara and a few other places and got me connected to different places where I could utilize my chef skills and earn some money to help take care of my family."Miller added, "All it took was a phone call to say, Hey, Al, I'm really struggling. Do you know anybody who might and that's all I had to say. He was on the phone for the next two days, making connections and doing everything he could to try and help me. That was just the kind of guy he was.""Growing Pains," which also starred Tracey Gold, Joanna Kerns and Ashley Johnson, ran for seven seasons and ended in 1992.Miller remembered that Thicke was "always so full of life," which is why his sudden death was "such a shock.""I mean, all of us, we really thought he was going to be the next Dick Clark, you know? 102 and still going," Miller said. "Because he was so full of life and so full of energy."He added, "He was just such a kind, generous, and amazing man. And him and I would talk probably once a month, once every two months. He would call just to check up on me, make sure everything's going good. But he really did fill that father role. He was my other dad."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERThe television star had his fair share of challenges through the years and previously detailed his history with alcoholism in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital.Miller admitted at the time that while he had been "totally sober for over seven years now," he would not forget being a "mean drunk" in the past who was "blacking out every single day" after traumatic alcohol binges when he "broke lamps and punched holes in walls" while inebriated."I'm in recovery since 2011, had a couple little stumbles," he said before detailing just a few of the struggles he has had to overcome with his addiction."Some financial difficulties arose, I had a pretty big fight with my fiance and I bolted the house and ... I stopped at the liquor store. It's the only DUI I ever got, and believe me, I deserved many more, and I don't say that lightly.""It's probably the thing I'm most ashamed of in my drinking career, is how many times I put other peoples' lives at risk by getting behind the wheel. I did it way more than I like to admit."He added, "But I got in the car that day. I pounded a half pint of vodka, probably would have drank a lot more, and I got pulled over for a DUI, and from that point on, I got back into working on my recovery."

A Mexican Senate session descended into chaos on Wednesday when two senior politicians traded blows following a heated debate over the U.S.'s involvement in the fight against drug cartels.Video captured the explosive momentwhen Alejandro "Alito" Moreno, head of the opposition Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), andGerardo Fernndez Noroa, the Senate president of the ruling Morena Party, violently shoved one another after lawmakers finished singing the national anthem to close the days session.The clash erupted after a tense debate, during which the Morena Party and its allies reportedly accused PRI and the conservative National Action Party (PAN) lawmakers of calling for U.S. military intervention in Mexico, a claim the opposing parties reportedly denied.The issue has grown especially contentious following reports that President Donald Trump authorized U.S. military force against Latin American drug cartels designated as terrorist groups.TRUMP APPROVES MILITARY ACTION AGAINST LATIN AMERICAN CARTELS CLASSIFIED AS TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONSMoreno, who said his party was denied the right to speak for closing remarks, was seen approaching Fernndez Noroa, reportedly saying, "Im asking you to let me speak," while clutching the Senate president by the arm."Dont touch me!" Fernndez Noroa reportedly yelled back, as the two politicians violently shoved each other as colleagues scrambled to intervene.In the scuffle, Moreno also clashed with one of Fernndez Noroas collaborators, cameraman Emiliano Gonzlez, who was knocked to the floor. Another lawmaker was seen yanking the Senate presidents suit jacket and taking a swing at him as he tried to escape the mayhem.SENATE SHAKEN: BIPARTISAN WORRY ERUPTS AFTER INCIDENT INVOLVING CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATFernndez Noroa accused Moreno of threatening to kill him, according to local reports."He hit me and told me I'm going to break your mother, I'm going to kill you,'" Fernndez Noroa said in a press conference according to El Pais.Moreno countered that the ruling party was silencing opposition voices and insisted Fernndez Noroa had instigated the fight."Let it be clear: the first physical aggression came from Fernndez Noroa," Morenosaid in a post on X Wednesday. "There was an approved agenda. Minutes before reaching the corresponding point, Morena changed it to their convenience to silence us and prevent the opposition from speaking out. Their obligation was to give me the floor, and they didn't do it."'SPECTACLE OF HIMSELF': SENATE REPUBLICANS BLAST ALEX PADILLA AFTER HIS FORCIBLE REMOVAL FROM DHS PRESSERThe Senate president said he plans on filinga criminal complaint against Moreno as well as three other PRI legislators involved, includingCarlos Eduardo Gutierrez Mancilla, Alonso Erubiel Lorenzo and Ruben Moreira.Fernndez Noroa is also calling an emergency session Friday to propose expelling Moreno and the three other PRI lawmakers as a result of the scuffle, the New York Post reported.Fernndez Noroa and Alejandro Moreno did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

Two children were killed and 17 others were injured when a shooter opened fire during a morning Mass for a Minneapolis Catholic school, with the nation subsequently reeling from the tragedy and reigniting debate about ways to prevent such horror in the future."This kind of violence is very recent. It's a new thing in human history," Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said during a Thursday morning interview on "Fox & Friends." "There was no time in the past when people would walk into a church or a classroom and start shooting people. And it's not really happening in other countries. It's happening here, and we need to look at all of the potential culprits that might be contributing to that."The FBI is investigating the shooting, which FBI Director Kash Patel called "an act of domestic terrorism and hate crime targeting Catholics," while Trump administration officials are offering prayers and looking at ways to address the nation's ongoing mental health crisis.John Lott, the founder and president of the Crime Prevention Research Center, told Fox News Digital about some of the top variables involved in such shootings, including killers seeking to gain as much media attention as possible by targeting areas where people are unarmed.MELANIA TRUMP CALLS FOR 'PRE-EMPTIVE INTERVENTION IN IDENTIFYING POTENTIAL SCHOOL SHOOTERS'"You read these manifestos and diaries. Over and over again, these guys know that they're going to commit suicide," Lott said. "They know or they believe they're going to die. People have always wanted to commit suicide, but someplace along the line, people who felt unappreciated, who didn't think people knew what a great person they were, or whatever, realized they could get national and international attention by killing lots of people."The Minneapolis shooter committed suicide during the Wednesday morning rampage."They know if they go to a place where their victims are defenseless, they're going to be able to go and kill more people and get more media attention," Lott said. "And so the thing to stop these attacks is to take away this notoriety that they can get."Lott has long called for the obliteration of "gun-free zones," and said the Trump administration has the opportunity to "harden" schools by removing such zones, as well as the signs designating them, which essentially advertise that no one inside a facility has a firearm.Instead, Lott said, schools and other common "soft targets" should install signs noting that select teachers and staff are armed with concealed weapons to protect students and others.Wednesday's shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church unfolded as young students of the church's parochial school attended mass during their first week back in classrooms. The tragedy ultimately left two children, aged 8 and 10, dead and 17 other students and people injured.GUNS USED BY MINNEAPOLIS CHURCH SCHOOL SHOOTER ROBIN WESTMAN WERE PURCHASED LEGALLY, POLICE SAYPolice identified the shooter as 23-year-old Robin Westman, who allegedly used a trio of legally purchased firearms, including a rifle, a pistol and a shotgun, to carry out the devastation.Court records previously reported by Fox News show that a Minneapolis juvenile named Robert Westman acquired a legal name change to Robin Westman in 2019. Patel confirmed that the shooter was born Robert and later identified as Robin.Local police additionally reported they were aware the shooter released a manifesto on YouTube, though the video has been taken down and is now under investigation.The White House held a Thursday press conference during which press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Kennedy's Health and Human Services was investigating potential prescription drug links to mass tragedies, and that the health arm of the federal government had an ongoing focus on the nation's mental health woes."I know the Secretary of Health and Human Services this morning said that HHS is investigating perhaps links between some of these drugs and these prescription drugs that some of these minors may be taking in an increase in violence," Leavitt said. "And obviously, we have mental health problems in this country that this administration and Secretary Kennedy will continue to speak out about and the work that we're doing to solve it."In response to Kennedy floating a potential tie between shootings and certain prescription intake, senior advisor to America First Legal Ian Prior told Fox Digital that the conservative group uncovered FDA "documents showing the government knew puberty blockers increase depression and suicidal thoughts.""Yet they still pushed them on vulnerable kids. We are flooding children with drugs that destabilize their minds from puberty blockers to SSRIs and then acting surprised when tragic violence erupts," he said. "Instead of protecting kids, federal regulators have created a generation struggling with instability that endangers both themselves and the public. If we want to end mass shootings, we must confront these underlying causes head-on."Heritage Foundation senior legal fellow Amy Swearer told Fox News Digital that the Trump administration should end the U.S.'s historic and "absurd focus" on gun control in reaction to school shootings as it maps out next steps to address such tragedies."Focusing on this through the lens of gun control is generally not conducive to actually solving any problems here, especially when we're talking about school shooters in particular," Swearer said."Generally, when we see school shooters, you either have individuals who are underage, who can't legally buy guns, who are taking them from parents or other family members," she continued. "Or you're dealing with individuals like we saw in Minneapolis, who fall into the broader category of adult mass public shooters, who unfortunately, the problem isn't that they were prohibited people who are circumventing our laws. It's that they were mentally unstable, showed signs of being a danger to themselves or others, but hadn't yet committed a disqualifying felony or misdemeanor offense."TWINS DENOUNCE FATAL SHOOTING AT MINNESOTA CATHOLIC CHURCH AS 'INCOMPREHENSIBLE' ATTACKDemocratic lawmakers have come out in force to voice support for additional gun control following the shooting while denouncing "gun violence" and "weapons of war" on U.S. streets."Im horrified by the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis and closely monitoring the situation. Im thankful for the first responders on the scene," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., wrote on X. "Students and teachers should not be putting their lives on the line just by going back to school. We must do more to stop gun violence in America.""Praying for the children, families and first responders during this moment of terror and unimaginable grief," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said of the tragedy. "Weapons of war have no place in our neighborhoods, streets or schools."Like Lott, Swearer said "soft targets" such as gun-free school zones, are frequently preyed upon by mass shooters as criminals can carry out deadlier attacks without resistance from their victims. She called for schools and other "soft targets" to at least have the option to protect themselves."There is a general rule: hard targets protect people," she said.Lott added that a killer's "goals" must be taken from them if mass shooting tragedies are ever to significantly decrease."The way you take away their goal is having somebody there quickly, or they believe somebody's there quickly to be able to stop them before they can kill many people," he said. "I forced myself to read their diaries and manifestos, and time after time after time they say, If I can only kill more people than such and such did, I can get even more media attention. I can get my name in the history books."

A man arrested and charged in connection with the viral July 26 beatdown in the streets of downtown Cincinnati has once again been granted bond after he was rearrested on federal charges earlier this week.Jermaine Mathews, 39, stood before a federal judge on Wednesday for a bond hearing after he was arrested on Aug. 25 and charged with conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 40 grams or more of fentanyl, and operating a premises for the purpose of trafficking narcotics.Prosecutor Anthony Springer argued that Mathews should remain in custody, and showed the prosecution photos of Mathews allegedly beating 45-year-old victim Alex Tchervinski during the viral July assault, according to WLWT.CINCINNATI BEATDOWN SUSPECT INDICTED ON FEDERAL DRUG CONSPIRACY CHARGESMathews' attorney, Kara Blackney, argued that he has no prior violent felony convictions and plenty of ties to the Cincinnati community, including three children, one who is a college athlete.Mathews, whom authorities described as a primary "coordinator" of the beating, previously posted a $270,000 bond on local charges, including three counts of felonious assault, three counts of assault and two counts of aggravated rioting.Blackney reportedly noted that he did not flee the area after posting that bond.

She said she does not know the extent to which she will recover.Five others have been charged locally with three counts of felonious assault, three counts of assault and two counts of aggravated rioting, and another person has been charged with robbery stemming from the incident.

Former New York Yankees player and World Series champion Mark Teixeira launched his campaign for the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday, angering liberals.While many of Teixeria's long-time fans supported the former MLB All-Star for taking a shot at public office, his admission of being a "lifelong conservative" and his campaign principles were met with outrage from certain individuals on the left."Since I was [six] years old I've had a poster of Mark Teixeira in my room, spent hundreds of dollars on his jerseys and baseball cards. Truly my favorite Yankee growing up Sucks that he's a MAGA freak now," one user wrote on X.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMAnother X user wrote, "Mark Teixeira being a MAGA POS doesnt surprise me one bit."One user even went so far as to call Teixeira a "bad person," in response to his run as a Republican. "Did not know Mark Teixeira was a bad person but here we are," that user wrote.Still, most of the discourse surrounding Teixeira's run on X was positive, with many conservatives expressing excitement about the impact he would bring to the congressional baseball game, which the GOP has won for the last five years.Meanwhile, on BlueSky, which is an X competitor commonly used by liberals, the criticisms of Teixeira's announcement were rampant."This tracks. You are considered a star in baseball if youre successful 30% of the time at bat. Should be a perfect candidate for Republican voters craving even more mediocrity masquerading as greatness," wrote a BlueSky user."Mark Teixeira: Garbage person," another wrote.Meanwhile, another BlueSky user pulled out a phrase that many on the left have often criticized when applied to athletes speaking out in support of liberal causes."Never thought Id hear myself say it, but just this once, stick to sports," wrote one user.TEXAS REP CHIP ROY ANNOUNCES RUN FOR STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO REPLACE KEN PAXTONTeixeira will be running for Texas' 21st Congressional District in the U.S. House.

Newly released emergency dispatch recordings are shedding light on the terrifying moments after a gunman opened fire at a Minneapolis Catholic school on Wednesday as police and first responders rushed to the scene.The hour-long audio recording captures dispatchers, police officers and other first responders coordinating a large-scale emergency response after gunfire erupted during a morning church service.Early in the recording, dispatchers confirmed a suspected active shooter at the school's church, calling for "all available assistance.""Minneapolis has a possible active shooter," one responder said over the radio.VANCE BLASTS PSAKI FOR POST DECLARING PRAYER 'IS NOT FREAKING ENOUGH' IN RESPONSE TO MINNESOTA SHOOTINGAs officers arrived, they reported multiple victims and called for urgent reinforcements. The recordings also reveal their efforts to keep ambulance routes open amidst growing chaos."Our primary goal here is traffic mitigation on 35we need to get these ambulances out of here once they start rolling out with more victims," one officer said."EMS is coming in. Multiple victims," another dispatch voice confirmed.Responders quickly requested an urgent need for medical supplies on the scene."Bring all the gauze that you have," one officer radioed in.LIBERAL FIGURES LAMBAST 'PRAYERS' IN WAKE OF MINNESOTA CHURCH SHOOTINGGraphic details of injuries emerged throughout the audio, despite some segments being obscured by radio interference."We have two patients with gunshot wounds to the head in front," one responder reported. "Theres also a critical patient in the rear of the church."Authorities also emphasized the need to prevent scene overcrowding."Anyone not on scene, do not respond We need to preserve northbound 35W for ambulance traffic to HCMC," one official warned."Dont come to the scene unless youre assigned. I need you at staging on Diamond Lake to start escorting ambulances."According to police, the shooting unfolded around 8:30 a.m. as the service was beginning. The shooter, identified as 23-year-old Robin Westman, opened fire from outside the church, firing dozens of rounds through stained-glass windows. Westman, who was born Robert before later identifying as Robin, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.GUNS USED BY MINNEAPOLIS CHURCH SCHOOL SHOOTER ROBIN WESTMAN WERE PURCHASED LEGALLY, POLICE SAYIn total, 18 people were wounded, 15 of them children. Two students, an 8-year-old and a 10-year-old, were fatally shot as they sat in pews praying.During a Thursday news conference, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian OHara recounted the bravery of the first officers on scene."A Minneapolis police officer in regular uniform with no helmet, no SWAT gear ran into the church and was met by a parishioner who directed him towards where the gunman had been," OHara said."The parishioner later told me that was the first time that he, the children and others there had any sense that they might be safe and survive."TWINS DENOUNCE FATAL SHOOTING AT MINNESOTA CATHOLIC CHURCH AS 'INCOMPREHENSIBLE' ATTACKThe FBI confirmed that the shooting is being investigated as both a hate crime targeting Catholics and an act of domestic terrorism.While a definitive motive has yet to be confirmed, officials say the suspect uploaded a manifesto to YouTube prior to the shooting. The video has since been removed from the platform.O'Hara called the shooter a coward and described it as a targeted act of cruelty."This was a deliberate act of violence against innocent children and other people worshiping," he said. "The sheer cruelty and cowardice of firing into a church full of children is absolutely incomprehensible."The shooting has drawn comparisons to the deadly Covenant School attack in Nashville, Tennessee, in 2023, when a gunman killed three students and three adults. Don Aaron, spokesman for the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, said it's important to focus on the victims rather than the shooter's "twisted planning.""The stark reality is that mass shooters read about and study their predecessors before committing their own carnage," he told Fox News Digital. "We know the shooter in the Covenant case did, as she planned her attack over a period of many months. She went through firearms training during that period without setting off alarms. She had no adverse contact with law enforcement prior to the day of the shooting."After a lengthy investigation, the shooter's quest for notoriety was deemed to be the motive. She wanted her bedroom to be preserved and movies and books to be made about her. That is why it is so important to make the victims the focus of public statements in the days, weeks, and years after these horrible crimes. Most people, especially law enforcement, do not want to publicly focus on the shooter's twisted planning so that it does not influence others."

A controversial pro-Palestinian gathering in Detroit is drawing scrutiny for featuring speakers with extremist viewsincluding two former Israeli prisoners released in a Hamas dealalongside Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., a prominent anti-Israel congresswoman.The conference in Detroit will be the second annual "People's Conference for Palestine," which is being organized by a dozen different pro-Palestinian groups.Rep. Tlaib will speak alongside several individuals accused of espousing antisemitic rhetoric, including a professor who has compared Jews to Nazis, a journalist who quipped about Hamas kidnapping "several dozen hipsters" at "some sort of rave" on Oct. 7, 2023, and a high-profile activist who once said Israel is "built on the idea that Jews are supreme to everyone else" and lost her position on the board of a major philanthropic organization amid antisemitism complaints.DNC SUMMER MEETING DERAILED AFTER TENSIONS FLARE OVER DUELING RESOLUTIONS: LOSING OUR FUTURETlaib, herself, has been no stranger to criticism about her anti-Israel views either. She was censured in 2023 by her colleagues in Congress over alleged inflammatory rhetoric about the Israel-Hamas war. The censure followed several comments from Tlaib that drew backlash, including her use of the phrase "From the river to the sea," a slogan that many Israel supporters consider a call for the destruction of Israel.Tlaib also came under fire in 2023 for being part of a secret Facebook group for many years that glorified terrorists following the attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023.The congresswoman will be joined at the conference by two former prisoners held by Israel who gained their freedom through an Israeli prisoner swap with Hamas. One of those individuals, Hussam Shaheen, was sentenced by Israeli authorities to almost 30 years in prison during the early 2000s for murder and conspiracy to commit murder.The other former prisoner, Omar Assaf, was formerly an official of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP). The DFLP is not a U.S.-designated terror group, but it has been targeted by U.S. sanctions.WHITE HOUSE DEMANDS ALL GAZA HOSTAGES RETURN HOME THIS WEEK AMID STALLED TALKSOther attendees of this weekend's conference include Raja Abdulhaq, who is listed on the conference's website as the co-founder of the Quds News Network (QNN), which was suspended from Twitter in 2019 for alleged ties to terrorism, a company spokesperson reportedly told the Times of Israel. Subsequently, other major social media platforms, like Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, all took steps to restrict QNN's presence on their platforms.Wesam Ahmed, another speaker, is listed as a "human rights advocate" with Al-Haq, an entity accused by the Israeli government of having ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).Meanwhile, Michigan-area activist and former candidate for Congress, Huwaida Arraf, is also slated to speak. Arraf is known for being a co-founder of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), which has previously been investigated by the FBI for possible ties to terrorists. In 2021, Arraf also penned an article which promoted using violent tactics against Israelis."The Palestinian resistance must take on a variety of characteristics both nonviolent and violent," she wrote at the time. "But most importantly it must develop a strategy involving both aspects."However, when reached for comment, Arraf shot back at criticism that she may be antisemitic, arguing any accusations of such are "meant to smear and silence Palestinians and anyone who dares to speak up for their rights.""My record is clear," she added. "I have spent my life opposing all forms of racism, discrimination, and oppression. Conflating criticism of a government with hatred of a people is dishonest and dangerousit weaponizes antisemitism instead of confronting it."A Michigan high school principal was forced to apologize to students and parents in 2023 after Arraf went off script at a "diversity assembly" and reportedly attacked Israel.TRUMP ADMINISTRATION DEMANDS $1B SETTLEMENT FROM UCLA OVER CAMPUS ANTISEMITISM CLAIMS Multiple university professors accused of antisemitism will also be at the event with Tlaib. One of them, Hatem Bazian, came under fire by his university, the University of California Berkley, in 2017 after he shared an anti-Israel cartoon that drew widespread backlash for comparing Jews to Nazis, among other tropes."Mom, look! I is chosen! I can now kill, rape, smuggle organs & steal the land of Palestinians yay #Ashke-Nazi," read the caption of a political cartoon shared by Bazian, the chairman of American Muslims for Palestine and the co-founder of Students for Justice in Palestine.The caption was layered over an image of an orthodox Jewish individual who was juxtaposed next to an image of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un wearing a kippah and other traditional Jewish garb. That photo was also layered with its own caption: "Donald Trump: Now my nukes are legal & I can annex South Korea & you need to start paying me 34 billion a year in welfare."In 2015, Bazian, whose SJP group has fueled anti-Israel riots on college campuses, raised alarm bells when he called for an "intifada in this country that changes fundamentally the political dynamics in here," which is widely interpreted as calling for violence against Jews. He went on to say, "They're gonna say some Palestinian being too radical well, you haven't seen radicalism yet."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPAnother speaker at the event, journalist Eugene Puryear, has been slammed for trivializing Hamas's Oct. 7, 2023, attacks that killed over a thousand innocent Israelis."As you might have seen, there was some sort of rave or desert party where they were having a great time, until the resistance came in electrified hang gliders and took at least several dozen hipsters," Puryear said on Oct. 8, one day after the attack, according to a report from the Anti-Defamation League.Linda Sarsour, who had to walk-back her remarks after stating Israel "is built on the idea that Jews are supreme to everyone else," and lost her seat on the board of the Women's March amid allegations of antisemitism, will make an appearance as well on Friday afternoon. Sarsour previously denied the allegations of antisemitism that came during her time with the Women's March."Ask them this, how can you be against white supremacy in America and the idea of being in a state based on race and class, but then you support a state like Israel that is based on supremacy, that is built on the idea that Jews are supreme to everyone else," Sarsour asked a crowd in 2019, according to Israeli news outlet Haaretz.Mahmoud Khalil, the former Columbia University student who the Trump administration tried to deport for allegedly inciting anti-Israel violence on his campus, will also be in attendance.In addition to the speakers, the organizers added special programming geared for kids. "We're proud to introduce a two-day Childrens Program for ages 612, featuring engaging activities and an educational curriculum that explores Palestinian history, culture, and resistance," the conference's website says.Fox News Digital reached out to the conference for comment on its list of speakers, but did not immediately receive a response. Fox News Digital also reached out to several of the speakers for comment but, with the exception of Arraf, did not immediately hear back.Fox News' Cameron Cawthorne and Andrew Mark Miller contributed to this report
