Trump said that he would instruct his Ministry of Justice to 'aggressively prosecute terrorist threats, arson, vandalism and violence against American Jews.
He added: 'To all resident aliens who participated in the pro-jihadist protests, we have informed you … We will find you, and we will deport you.
“I will also quickly cancel the student visa of all Hamas sympathizers at university campuses, which are infected with radicalism like never before.”
