Summary
Terrell said the Justice Department’s “American Tour Against Hate” is taking federal officials into Jewish communities across 15 cities, with public meetings and follow-up visits to synagogues, schools and community centers.
The tour began Oct. 14 in Michigan with DOJ, FBI and Labor Department representatives, reflecting Terrell’s view that some local officials have failed to prosecute hate crimes or protect Jewish residents.
Universities remain a central target: Terrell warned campus presidents they cannot “wait out” the Trump administration and said schools that fail to protect Jewish students will keep facing federal scrutiny and court-enforced settlements.
Terrell also said investigators are examining overseas money and coordination that he believes fuel campus antisemitism, calling foreign influence one tool under review.
FBI data underscored the push: agencies reported 1,528 single-bias anti-Jewish hate-crime incidents in 2025, and 62.4% of victims of religious-bias hate crimes were targeted for anti-Jewish bias.
