Federal Task Force to Address Antisemitism in Major US Cities

A federal task force aimed at combating antisemitism is set to visit the leadership of four major cities, including New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Boston, following a series of incidents related to Jew-hatred. The task force has scheduled meetings with mayors and local leaders to discuss antisemitic activities on college campuses and in schools. Notably, the task force plans to address concerns raised by Mayor Brandon Johnson regarding alleged antisemitism on campuses and will also visit specific educational institutions, including USC, as part of its investigation. These efforts come amid growing concerns about rising antisemitism across the country, prompting a coordinated response at multiple levels of government.
