Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Wednesday declared that "antisemitic" college students at UT Austin protesting Israel's war on Gaza "belong in jail" and insisted that any student taking part in "hate-filled, antisemitic protests" should be expelled. "Arrests being made right now & will continue until the crowd disperses," Abbott said on Twitter. "These protesters belong in jail. Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas. Period. Students joining in hate-filled, antisemitic protests at any public college or university in Texas should be expelled."
At least 30 people were "handcuffed and removed from the school," according to The Texas Tribune: A student walkout protest in support of Palestine at the University of Texas at Austin on Wednesday turned increasingly chaotic as the day went by, resulting in at least 30 people being handcuffed and removed from the school, including two members of the media.Abbott declared war on the First Amendment last month by signing an executive order to punish students for their "antisemitic rhetoric." Republicans throughout the country are passing de facto hate speech laws to silence criticism of Israel's ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza.
