Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview

This executive order, titled Additional Measures To Combat Anti-Semitism, reaffirms and expands the federal government’s efforts to combat anti-Semitism, with a specific emphasis on campus environments. Building on Executive Order 13899 (2019), the order responds to reported increases in anti-Semitic incidents on campuses and elsewhere, and directs federal agencies to identify additional legal authorities and actions that can curb anti-Semitism. It requires interagency reporting within a tight 60-day window and strengthens enforcement emphasis by encouraging use of civil-rights statutes to pursue accountability for anti-Semitic harassment and violence. In short, the order formalizes a cross-agency effort to document existing tools, inventory active complaints and cases related to campus anti-Semitism, and consider additional measures—including potential enforcement actions and monitoring tools related to immigration status—while reaffirming that the government’s work must comply with existing law and appropriations.

Key Points

  • 1Reaffirms Executive Order 13899 and augments its approach to combat anti-Semitism, particularly after heightened campus incidents following October 7, 2023.
  • 2Within 60 days, each federal agency must report to the President identifying all civil and criminal authorities or actions within its jurisdiction that could be used to curb or combat anti-Semitism, plus an inventory/analysis of pending administrative complaints against or involving higher education institutions related to post-October 7, 2023 campus anti-Semitism.
  • 3The Attorney General must include in his report an inventory/analysis of all court cases involving higher education institutions over civil-rights violations tied to post-October 7, 2023 campus anti-Semitism, and indicate intended or actual actions (e.g., statements of interest, interventions).
  • 4The Attorney General is encouraged to use applicable civil-rights enforcement authorities (such as 18 U.S.C. 241) to address anti-Semitism.
  • 5The Secretary of Education must include in her/his report an inventory/analysis of all Title VI complaints and related actions (including K-12) within the Office for Civil Rights, related to anti-Semitism after October 7, 2023.
  • 6Interagency coordination: the Secretaries of State, Education, and Homeland Security, in consultation, should propose recommendations to familiarize higher-ed institutions with grounds for inadmissibility under 8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(3) so they can monitor for and report related activities by alien students and staff, and take appropriate actions if warranted.
  • 7General provisions keep the accord within existing law and budget constraints, and clarify the order does not create new rights or benefits.
