FBI works with colleges to warn of antisemitic threats

FBI Director Christopher Wray said his agency is working with colleges and universities to warn them of threats of violence amid a wave of protests surrounding the Israel-Hamas war on campuses around the country.

Wray, in an interview with NBC News’s Lester Holt Tuesday, said the bureau does not directly track college protests, but is providing information to schools as it becomes aware of possible threats.

The FBI is “keenly focused on working with state and local law enforcement, campus law enforcement and others to try to make sure that we stay ahead” of potential violence,” he said.

Dozens of large-scale protests against the war have popped up on college campuses in recent days, after protests escalated at Columbia University with the arrest of over 100 students Friday.

There have been exactly 0 “antisemitic threats” and “possible violence” at any of the student protests at college campuses.

this is fake news in service of the fascist government to manufacture consent and manipulate the public.

Have we had a speech from Chris Wray designating College Students domestic terrorists yet, or are we still looking for grandparents from J6 of 3 years ago and parents from school board meetings?
