Under the “Unmasking Hamas Act,” anyone "in disguise, including while wearing a mask" who "injures, oppresses, threatens, or intimidates any person" exercising their constitutional rights could be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison as well as fined. The bill does not define “oppress,” nor does the bill specify what is meant by “disguise,” other than that it includes a “mask.” The bill’s substantive provisions are identical to the “Unmasking Antifa Act,” which lawmakers have introduced in several previous sessions.

The bill would cover someone convicted of “any offense” under “any Federal or State law” that is “related to the individual’s conduct at and during the course of a protest” at a college or university. As such, a student convicted of even a nonviolent, state law misdemeanor at a campus protest, such as failing to disperse, would be deemed ineligible for federal student loans; they would also be ineligible for having existing federal loans forgiven, cancelled, waived or modified.

The bill provides an exception for “any lawful activity” authorized by federal, state, or local law. However, it could still seemingly cover far more than “blocking” the interstate, including a peaceful protest on the shoulder of an interstate or a convoy-style, driving protest that slowed traffic. The sponsor of the bill made clear that it was in response to protesters.

Under the bill, individuals convicted of any “crime (i) related to [their] conduct at and during the course of a protest; (ii) involving the defacement, vandalism, or destruction of Federal property; or (iii) involving the intentional obstruction of any highway, road, bridge, or tunnel” would be deportable. The bill requires that such individuals’ visas be “immediately” cancelled and the individuals removed from the US within 60 days. If enacted, a non-citizen convicted of even a nonviolent misdemeanor “related to” a protest, such as trespass or disorderly conduct, could face deportation.

The federal definition of “riot” is broad, requiring only a “public disturbance” where one individual in a group commits violence. Under the bill, someone who committed or abetted an “act of violence” during the commission of a “riot” offense would face a minimum one-year sentence, while an individual who assaulted a law enforcement officer would face a sentence of at least one year and up to life in prison. Federal law defines “act of violence” broadly to include using force against <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/property" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>property</span></a>—or just attempting or threatening to use such force. As such, if enacted, the bill could result in steep criminal penalties for protesters who do not actually engage in violence or destructive conduct.

We’re Here</p><p>The U.S. has a long, dark history of deploying troops to attack <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/protestors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>protestors</span></a> that dates back to the 19th century. What can we learn from it to counter <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a>’s latest attacks? </p><p>Zeb Larson Jun 11, 2025</p><p>"On Saturday evening, Donald Trump announced that he was deploying 2,000 California National Guard troops to quell anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles. He did so using a rarely used law that allows the president to take control of a National Guard if there is a “a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States.” This is against the wishes of Governor Gavin Newsom, who has said that the troops will only inflame tensions. Protests continued throughout Sunday night and seem likely to escalate on Monday. </p><p>"This is a calculated attempt by the Trump administration to provoke a conflict. They hope to show cities in chaos in order to justify accelerating 'deportations.' Even though deportations remain stubbornly popular, approval over their methods is slipping, and the images of ICE agents raiding restaurants, immigration hearings, and schools undercuts the narrative about deporting criminals. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StephenMiller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StephenMiller</span></a> is reportedly angry at the 'slow' pace of arresting immigrants without due process and sending them off to brutal prison camps in foreign countries to which they have no association, like El Salvador, Libya, and South Sudan, and wants to speed them up to reach a quota of 3,000 a day. But to do that, they need to demonstrate greater urgency. They likely picked California because of the state’s size and prominence, and to undercut any attempt at states bucking or resisting immigration enforcement. </p><p>"This is an incredibly worrying step in the country’s march toward authoritarianism. The fact that the police are shooting rubber bullets at reporters is equally disturbing, as it seems clear that law enforcement will side with the federal authorities. We can’t rest complacently and assume that 'it can’t happen here.' It can and it is. And U.S. history offers plenty of past examples, with state militia and federal troops having been deployed against protesters as early as the 19th century. Back then, both were used to put down labor disputes and force striking workers back to work. Major strikes such as the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StrikeOf1877" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StrikeOf1877</span></a>, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GreatSouthwestStrike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GreatSouthwestStrike</span></a> of 1886, and the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PullmanStrike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PullmanStrike</span></a> in 1894 all ended by either federal troops’ or state militias’ force.</p><p>"At the turn of the 20th century came the massacres of African Americans. In 1917, strikes and labor disputes in East St. Louis, Illinois, erupted into one of the most violent race riots in U.S. history. African Americans fought back against white attackers, and the Illinois National Guard was called in to restore peace—but they chose in most cases to join in on the attacks or at the least, just stood back and allowed them to happen.

AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>While I understand why some liberals get frustrated when left wing analysts stress the bipartisan nature of the US establishment's efforts to create a new McCarthyism, and support for deploying an already existing police state against student anti-genocide protestors, I'd like to think that months into the Kelpto Kaiser's openly fascist presidency, it's clear to reasonable observers why this matters. The conflation of anti-genocide, with antisemitism and support for Hamas, an organization the US government had labelled as "terrorist" long before Trump took office, as well as public demonization of student protestors calling for the larger US establishment to sever ties with Israel, and the normalization of militarized police responses on university campuses, all supported by both the Biden administration *and* the larger "liberal" capitalist establishment, are so foundational to Trump's expanded fascist repression of protestors and critics, that you can't separate one from the other; even while acknowledging that Downarket Mussolini is using that bipartisan support in appalling ways Biden did not, to drive his larger fascist agenda.</p><p>The other reason you can't separate the support of the larger liberal establishment from the fascist shit Trump is doing to anti-genocide, pro-Palestinian protestors now is because said liberal establishment hasn't actually stopped engaging in their own acts of fascist repression targeting student protestors. For an example of what I'm talking about, let's return to my home state of Michigan, where sharp-minded readers may recall Dem state AG Dana Nessel got into hot water in April after she allowed FBI (so, federal) agents and local law enforcement to smash in the doors of pro-Palestine anti-genocide activists connected to the University of Michigan, and then told a bunch of big stupid lies about why that didn't mean she was working with Trump to target student protestors. Well I'm sorry to say the targeted harassment and intimidation of pro-Palestine activists at UM continues, but this time it's coming from the university itself.</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/06/michigan-university-gaza-surveillance" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j</span><span class="invisible">un/06/michigan-university-gaza-surveillance</span></a></p><p>University of Michigan using undercover investigators to surveil student Gaza protesters</p><p>"The surveillance appears to largely be an intimidation tactic, five students who have been followed, recorded or eavesdropped on said. The undercover investigators have cursed at students, threatened them and in one case drove a car at a student who had to jump out of the way, according to student accounts and video footage shared with the Guardian.</p><p>Students say they have frequently identified undercover investigators and confronted them. In two bizarre interactions captured by one student on video, a man who had been trailing the student faked disabilities, and noisily – and falsely – accused a student of attempting to rob him.</p><p>The undercover investigators appear to work for Detroit-based City Shield, a private security group, and some of their evidence was used by Michigan prosecutors to charge and jail students, according to a Guardian review of police records, university spending records and video collected in legal discovery. Most charges were later dropped. Public spending records from the U-M board of regents, the school’s governing body, show the university paid at least $800,000 between June 2023 and September 2024 to City Shield’s parent company, Ameri-Shield."</p><p>There are a lot of local political winds in the background of this story, but the key point here is that UM is hiring private goons to intimidate activists calling on the university to stop supporting Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, the majority of which are their own students. Furthermore, there's no evidence whatsoever that Trump is making them do this; UM, which proudly bills itself as a Midwestern bastion of enlightened liberal culture and a leadership factory for broader American society, just really wants to scare students into silence on its own, and in doing so happily prosecutes Trump's agenda for him.</p><p>The point I'm getting at is that when a school like Michigan, acts against its own students and communities in the precise way Trump would do himself, it's hard to believe that school sincerely opposes Trump, or even his fascist policies. And while this is just one school, this act of doing one thing and saying another is being replicated all across the broader US liberal establishment in both the public and private sectors. This has helped, and continues to help Trump in his quest to intimidate American universities and crush dissent under the guise of fighting made up antisemitism half of that liberal establishment continues to falsely insist exists broadly on the anti-genocide left.
