In a Truth Social post on Tuesday morning, President Donald Trump said he would punish students who engage in demonstrations of any kind — a clear violation of their First Amendment speech and assembly rights — and threatened consequences for any college or university that allows protests to take place.

“All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests,” Trump wrote in his post, failing to specify what constitutes an “illegal protest.”

The president added that “agitators” taking part in demonstrations will either be “imprisoned” or “permanently sent back to the country from which they came.” Trump also demanded that students be “permanently expelled” or “arrested” if they take part in protests.
