President Donald Trump warned Tuesday that his administration will stop federal funding to colleges that allow “illegal protests” and will deport foreign students who participate.

“All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on ... the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
