Security Concerns Force USC Graduation Ceremony Cancellation
The University of Southern California had to cancel its main graduation ceremony due to security concerns. Anti-Israel demonstrations on campus led to controversy when the valedictorian was found to have called for abolishing Israel on social media. The clash between anti-Israel protesters and police forced the campus to shut down, impacting over 65,000 expected attendees. This incident brought attention to the tensions and risks universities face in handling such sensitive issues.
States Enforce Stricter Immigration Policies
Oklahoma passed a bill targeting immigrants in the state illegally, with punishments ranging from fines to imprisonment. Tennessee enacted a law requiring law enforcement to inform federal immigration officials about encounters with illegal immigrants, adding sentence enhancements for those convicted of violent crimes. In Florida, a bill increasing prison time for illegal immigrants convicted of violent crimes or driving without a license was signed. These developments reflect a trend of states taking stricter measures against illegal immigration.
