The Trump administration has won unprecedented concessions from Columbia University in a sweeping settlement — with the Ivy League school paying more than $220 million and pledging to reverse racially discriminatory practices and resolve civil rights violations against Jewish students and workers, The Post can exclusively reveal. The settlement, under which Columbia will agree to submit to independent monitoring to ensure it is complying with merit-based hiring and admissions requirements, is likely to put pressure on other schools — like Harvard University— that have crossed the White House over tolerance of extreme Jew-hatred on campus since the Oct. 7, 2023,...

The suspect who torched 11 NYPD cop cars in Brooklyn—causing $800,000+ in damage—has been identified as Jakhi Lodgson-McCray, an anti-Israel agitator with multiple protest-related arrests. A $30,000 reward is being offered on the whereabouts of the anti-Israel menace accused of torching nearly a dozen NYPD cars and causing $800,000 in damages in Brooklyn earlier in the month. Jakhi Lodgson-McCray, 21, who has been arrested a number of times at protests, allegedly set fire to 11 cop cars in a Bushwick parking lot on June 12 — and has not been seen since, cops said. Numerous law enforcement agencies —...

Muslim Communist NYC Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani identified as “Asian” and “Black or African American” on his college application for Columbia University. The New York Times obtained this internal data from a hack of Columbia University. Columbia University used an affirmative action admissions program, so Mamdani, an Indian born in Uganda, checked ‘Black’ and ‘Asian’ to give himself an advantage over other applicants. When confronted about his Columbia University application, Zohran Mamdani told The New York Times that he checked those boxes to ‘capture the fullness” of his background. “Most college applications don’t have a box for Indian-Ugandans, so I...

As he runs for mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani has made his identity as a Muslim immigrant of South Asian descent a key part of his appeal. But as a high school senior in 2009, Mr. Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, claimed another label when he applied to Columbia University. Asked to identify his race, he checked a box that he was “Asian” but also Black or African American,” according to internal data derived from a hack of Columbia University that was shared with The New York Times.

It has been many years since a political party was cast as far into the wilderness as the Democrats of 2025. Fresh off their second defeat at the hands of their mortal enemy, Donald Trump, it was reasonable to assume that the party would realize the need to abandon the progressive policies that repelled the broad center of the electorate. Instead, it appears that the opposite has occurred, as proven in both the response to President Trump’s strike on Iran and Tuesday’s (June 24) Democratic mayoral primary in New York City. Democrats Doubling Down Democratic Party leaders must understand by...

Michael Madigan, connected to Obama, Bill Ayers and Andrew Weissmann, was sentenced to 7.5 years in prison this past week for corruption. Who would have predicted this? Michael Madigan ran the state of Illinois like a mobster for more than three decades. He used his power to crush anyone and any entity that dared oppose him on anything. He is the definition of a pure politician. He is now going to prison. Michael Madigan, the country’s longest-serving state House leader, served as speaker of the Illinois House from 1983 until 2021, with the exception of two years. Along the way,...

Columbia University graduate student and Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil has landed in New Jersey, telling reporters that he will continue to fight for his country 'even if they kill me.'

Anti-Israel protester Mahmoud Khalil lamented leaving behind some “incredible men” on Friday as he left a Louisiana detention facility, which he hopes becomes a museum to what he described as “America’s racist policies.” “I leave some incredible men behind me, over 1,000 people behind me, in a place where they shouldn’t have been in the first place,” Khalil told reporters after walking out of the La Salle Detention Facility in Jena, La. “I hope the next time that I will be in Jena is to actually visit this as a museum on America’s racist policies against immigrants,” the former Columbia...

Protests against the arrest of a pro-Palestine Columbia graduate student are being organized by a Marxist revolutionary group that is pro-Communism, anti-Israel, and has potential links to the Chinese Communist Party. Mahmoud Khalil, a leader in the pro-Palestine and anti-Israel encampments at Columbia University, was detained earlier this month by the Trump administration, with the Department of Homeland Security arguing that he “led activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization.” The People’s Forum helped organize some of the campus chaos and is now organizing protests to free Khalil. Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) is the pro-Palestine and anti-Israel group...

Farbiarz agreed, determining that Khalil is not a threat to the community, not a flight risk and that his detention...

Hitler's Muslim Nephew Comes to New York September 24, 2007 FrontPageMagazine.com Kenneth R. Timmerman What was New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg thinking? Apparently the former Democrat believed that escorting Iran’s Hitler-wannabe president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to the site of the September 11 memorial at Ground Zero would generate a terrific photo op. “Here I am with world leaders,” that type of thing. After all, Bloomberg has already made his appearance at the “World Leaders Forum” at Columbia University, so he was in the zone. And last year, U.S. News & World Report crowned him as one of America’s “best leaders.” But...

Hamas supporter Mahmoud Khalil, a green-card holder who led pro-Hamas protests at Columbia University in New York City, will not be released from ICE custody, a New Jersey District Judge ruled on Friday. New Jersey District Judge Michael E. Farbiarz rejected Khalil’s request for release, ruling on Friday that the anti-Israel agitator “did not put forward factual evidence as to why it might be unlawful to detain him” on a second charge, and “failed to make meaningful legal arguments.” “The Court preliminary enjoined the Respondents from detaining the Petitioner on a particular charge,” Judge Farbiarz wrote, noting, “It would be...

{No search results}Yet another U.S. district judge has ruled against the Trump administration as it tries to take action on crucial matters, this time as it applies to cases to do with immigration and terrorism. On Thursday, Judge Michael Farbiarz, of New Jersey, who was appointed by former President Joe Biden, ruled that the administration cannot deport or detain Mahmoud Khalil, who has been in federal custody since early March and on track for deportation. Khalil, a foreign national from Syria, has participated in and even led pro-Hamas activity at Columbia University and participated in it at its sister school...

A confederacy of conspirators ran an operation to get inside Trump Tower for a meeting with Don Trump Jr. that could be used to obtain FISA warrants on Trump Tower to surveil the current president and his team. The conspirators worked for Fusion GPS, which was funded by Hillary Clinton’s campaign, the Democratic National Committee, and the neoconservative wing of the Republican Party. James Comey’s friend, Columbia University professor Daniel Richman, leaked classified information that Comey gave him. During this leaking period, Richman was apartment-building neighbors with a partner at the law firm that strategized with Fusion GPS operative Natalia...

In a recent interview, a well-known professor who taught at Columbia University for 46 years questioned whether or not President Obama actually attended the Ivy League school. Prominent Columbia professor Henry Graff says he isn’t sure President Obama ever attended the Ivy League school. “I taught every significant politician that ever studied at Columbia,” said Columbia Emeritus Professor of History Henry Graff, in an interview last week with Wayne Root, a contributor at The Blaze. “Between American History and Diplomatic History, one way or another, they all had to come through my classes.” “Not Obama,” he continued. “I never had...

Gabrielle Wimer’s suspension ‘effectively is an extended vacation,’ one person who spotted her says ... Columbia University medical students accused the Ivy League school of pushing a double standard after a classmate who was suspended following her arrest for storming a Barnard College building returned to campus. The student, Gabrielle Wimer, appears to be on course to graduate later this month. Wimer was one of the four anti-Israel Columbia students arrested for storming Barnard’s Milstein Library in March. The Ivy League university promptly suspended the quartet and restricted them from campus, though officials didn't say how long the punishments would...

Behind the scenes, a top department official pressed employees to gather a list of activists and investigate them, people familiar with the matter said.A top Trump appointee in the Justice Department ordered an aggressive investigation in the last several months of student protesters at Columbia University, raising anger and alarm among career prosecutors and investigators who saw the demand as politically motivated and lacking legal merit, people familiar with the episode said. The demand for the inquiry into students who protested Israel’s conduct of the conflict in Gaza also prompted pushback from a federal magistrate judge, who believed some of...
