The Federal Task Force to Combat Antisemitism Announces First Stop on The American Tour Against Hate

 

Today, the Department of Justice Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism announced the first stop of the American Tour Against Hate will be in Southfield, Michigan on Wednesday, October 14. The Task Force’s national campaign reflects the Trump Administration’s steadfast commitment to eradicating antisemitism across the country. The Department of Justice, as the agency responsible for enforcing the nation’s civil rights laws, is carrying out the President’s mission.

The Tour is a first-of-its-kind federal initiative, bringing government resources and officials directly to local communities experiencing hate and discrimination.

“President Trump has made clear that this Administration will not tolerate antisemitism, and the Department of Justice is committed to implementing that directive,” said Attorney General Todd Blanche. “This national tour is an important step in ensuring communities across the country know the federal government stands ready to work with them to confront antisemitic threats, protect public safety, and uphold civil rights.”

"No American should live in fear of unjust discrimination or violence,” said Associate Attorney General Stanley E. Woodward, Jr. “The Department of Justice is working tirelessly to protect and defend all Americans’ right to freedom of speech and free exercise of religion. This event is sure to be a powerful evening.” 

"I am grateful to the President for the honor of leading this Task Force and Tour,” said Leo Terrell, Chair of the Department of Justice Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism. “We are spearheading the fight against hate and prejudice wherever it appears across the country. Particularly on a day that was so painful for so many Jewish men and women around the world, we are proud to announce this event and look forward to gathering with many of you in Michigan.”
