"#BendTheArc, a progressive #Jewish group..., tweeted that President #DonaldTrump was playing on fears of antisemitism in order to pursue an anti-democratic agenda.
“The #WhiteHouse’s authoritarian actions are being falsely done in our name as #Jews, by a President and politicians who actively use antisemitism and do not speak for Jews,” the group tweeted. “We’ve been afraid this day would come since campus protests began. Free speech and education are pillars of our democracy, and a healthy democracy is what keeps Jews safest.”
The Anti-Defamation League ... praised the arrest while calling for immigration law to be followed. "
