The House on May 1 passed an anti-Semitism bill as pro-Palestinian protests escalated on college campuses across the country.

The legislation passed the lower chamber in a broadly bipartisan 320–91 vote. That included 21 Republicans and 70 Democrats who opposed the legislation, many of whom expressed concerns about a potential chilling effect that the bill could have on free speech.
