LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON H.R. 4795

Today, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries issued the following statement:

Our Jewish brothers and sisters deserve safety and security on campuses across the nation, and I continue to oppose the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. Unfortunately, H.R. 4795 is a poorly-written Republican bill that does not achieve that goal. Instead, it would provide Donald Trump with the power to punitively launch political attacks on our colleges and universities, which are already under tremendous stress due to the toxic actions of this extreme Republican administration. When we are in the majority, House Democrats will advance unifying legislation to aggressively combat the rise of antisemitism and protect the Jewish community in America.
