On June 1, a deranged pro-Palestinian terrorist carried out a violent attack in Boulder, Colorado, shouting “Free Palestine” and using a flamethrower and Molotov cocktails to seriously injure people peaceably assembled to call for the release of prisoners held by Hamas – including a Holocaust survivor. Just weeks earlier, another deranged terrorist – who also shouted “Free Palestine” – shot and killed a young, innocent Jewish couple at an event outside a Jewish museum in Washington, D.C. I am keeping the innocent victims and their families in my prayers.

These two tragedies are the consequences of the Left-wing antisemitic terror movement. According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), last year was the worst for antisemitic incidents since ADL began tracking over forty years ago. On college campuses, terrorist sympathizers have spray-painted swastikas on buildings, attacked Jewish students, and called for the genocide of the Israeli people. A radical pro-Hamas supporter was arrested for bullying young children while they were on the playground at a private Jewish K-12 school in Florida. And families are being harassed on their way into synagogues, which have received hundreds of bomb threats and hundreds more antisemitic threats. It should come as no surprise that deranged individuals are acting on the rhetoric by radical student groups and terrorist-supporting mobs who want to bring Hamas’ war against Israel here to the United States.

Unlike President Biden, who turned a blind eye to the Left-wing antisemitic terror movement, President Donald Trump is taking action. That includes fighting to cut federal funding for colleges that have failed to protect Jewish students and revoking visas of international students who fuel antisemitism on campus. As Secretary of State Marco Rubio said during a recent Senate hearing, “People apply for student visas to come into the United States and study, and if you tell me that you are coming into the United States to lead campus crusades, to take over libraries and try to burn down buildings and acts of violence, we’re not going to give you a visa.” He’s exactly right.

The Colorado terror attack was yet another reminder that failing to enforce our nation’s immigration laws is a national security issue. The attack was carried out by an Egyptian national who was living in the U.S. illegally. The evil terrorist overstayed his non-immigrant visa, which was granted during the Biden administration. After the Colorado terror attack, Border Czar Tom Homan warned that a “9/11 or worse” terror attack is imminent because of the threat posed by the millions of foreign nationals who illegally entered our nation during the Biden administration. It’s just another reason why the Senate needs to take up and pass President Trump’s One, Big, Beautiful Bill, which includes much-needed resources to detain, process, and deport dangerous illegal immigrants who came into our country under Joe Biden.

I’m incredibly grateful that President Trump is doing everything he can to fight back against the Left-wing antisemitic terror movement. I’ll continue working closely with him to make sure America is a nation where Jewish people don’t have to fear for their safety every time they take part in a peaceful protest, walk to class, or step foot on a playground.
