$94 million in grants awarded to Jewish faith-based organizations to prevent ‘violence and terrorism’: DHS

Secretary Kristi Noem announced roughly $94 million in federal grants to Jewish faith-based organizations as anti-Semitic attacks increase across the U.S.

The demonstration, organized by Georgetown University students and community leaders, also demanded the release of a Georgetown scholar facing deportation by the Department of Homeland Security.

"However, under President Trump and Secretary Noem’s leadership, we are going to do everything in our power to make sure that Jewish people in the United States can live free of the threat of violence and terrorism."

Sources at DHS tell Fox News Digital that similar grants have been used for improved security measures like cameras, physical barriers, and other enhanced safety initiatives. 

Anti-Semitic attacks in the US have been on the rise since Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack on Israel and the continuous war between the Jewish state and neighboring countries.

TIMELINE: TRUMP'S ISRAEL-IRAN CEASEFIRE NEARLY COLLAPSES HOURS AFTER ANNOUNCEMENT

The Trump administration has firmly backed Israel throughout tensions in the Middle East, and recently negotiated a ceasefire between the Jewish homeland and Iran, mitigated by Qatar, on Tuesday. 

Though conflict and hostility are still high among Israel and neighboring countries, the Trump administration has touted a win for peace abroad, while antisemitism still remains on the rise at home.
