Title 3— 

The President 

Executive Order 14188 of January 29, 2025 

Additional Measures To Combat Anti-Semitism 

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the 

laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: 

Section 1. Purpose. My Administration has fought and will continue to 

fight anti-Semitism in the United States and around the world. On December 

11, 2019, I issued Executive Order 13899, my first Executive Order on 

Combating Anti-Semitism, finding that students, in particular, faced antiSemitic harassment in schools and on university and college campuses. 

Executive Order 13899 provided interpretive assistance on the enforcement 

of the Nation’s civil rights laws to ensure that they would protect American 

Jews to the same extent to which all other American citizens are protected. 

The prior administration effectively nullified Executive Order 13899 by failing to give the terms of the order full force and effect throughout the 

Government. This order reaffirms Executive Order 13899 and directs additional measures to advance the policy thereof in the wake of the Hamas 

terrorist attacks of October 7, 2023, against the people of Israel. These 

attacks unleashed an unprecedented wave of vile anti-Semitic discrimination, 

vandalism, and violence against our citizens, especially in our schools and 

on our campuses. Jewish students have faced an unrelenting barrage of 

discrimination; denial of access to campus common areas and facilities, 

including libraries and classrooms; and intimidation, harassment, and physical threats and assault. A joint report by the House Committees on Education 

and the Workforce, Energy and Commerce, Judiciary, Oversight and Accountability, Veterans’ Affairs, and Ways and Means calls the Federal Government’s 

failure to fight anti-Semitism and protect Jewish students ‘‘astounding.’’ 

This failure is unacceptable and ends today. 

Sec. 2. Policy. It shall be the policy of the United States to combat antiSemitism vigorously, using all available and appropriate legal tools, to prosecute, remove, or otherwise hold to account the perpetrators of unlawful 

anti-Semitic harassment and violence. 

Sec. 3. Additional Measures to Combat Campus Anti-Semitism. (a) Within 

60 days of the date of this order, the head of each executive department 

or agency (agency) shall submit a report to the President, through the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, identifying all civil and criminal 

authorities or actions within the jurisdiction of that agency, beyond those 

already implemented under Executive Order 13899, that might be used 

to curb or combat anti-Semitism, and containing an inventory and analysis 

of all pending administrative complaints, as of the date of the report, against 

or involving institutions of higher education alleging civil-rights violations 

related to or arising from post-October 7, 2023, campus anti-Semitism. 

(b) The report submitted by the Attorney General under this section shall 

additionally include an inventory and an analysis of all court cases, as 

of the date of the report, against or involving institutions of higher education 

alleging civil-rights violations related to or arising from post-October 7, 

2023, campus anti-Semitism and indicate whether the Attorney General 

intends to or has taken any action with respect to such matters, including 

filing statements of interest or intervention. 

(c) The Attorney General is encouraged to employ appropriate civil-rights 

enforcement authorities, such as 18 U.S.C. 241, to combat anti-Semitism.

(d) The report submitted by the Secretary of Education under this section 

shall additionally include an inventory and an analysis of all Title VI complaints and administrative actions, including in K–12 education, related 

to anti-Semitism—pending or resolved after October 7, 2023—within the 

Department’s Office for Civil Rights. 

(e) In addition to identifying relevant authorities to curb or combat antiSemitism generally required by this section, the Secretary of State, the 

Secretary of Education, and the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with each other, shall include in their reports recommendations for 

familiarizing institutions of higher education with the grounds for inadmissibility under 8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(3) so that such institutions may monitor 

for and report activities by alien students and staff relevant to those grounds 

and for ensuring that such reports about aliens lead, as appropriate and 

consistent with applicable law, to investigations and, if warranted, actions 

to remove such aliens. 

Sec. 4. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed 

to impair or otherwise affect 

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, 

or the head thereof; or 

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget 

relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals. 

(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and 

subject to the availability of appropriations. 

(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, 

substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party 

against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, 

employees, or agents, or any other person.
