Trump says federal funding will stop for colleges, schools allowing 'illegal' protests President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that all federal funding will stop for colleges and schools that allow "illegal" protests and that agitators will be imprisoned or sent back to the country they came from.

Students should not be punished for protesting for what they believe in.

I know these are challenging times β€” and the Trump administration is trying to confuse the American people.

That’s why it’s so important we speak plainly: Donald Trump is incompetent.

Trump's nominees are positioned for one purpose: protect Donald Trump... not America.

Now is not the time to tune these dangerous picks out. Call your Senator today and tell them NO on Pete Hegseth and Pam Bondi

Actually, the 14th Amendment still exists Trump signed an executive order purporting to rewrite birthright citizenship. That's not how the Constitution works.

United States-born children are citizens and no executive order can change that.

We’ll fight to ensure birthright citizenship remains the law of the land.

I've got your back, Illinois.

It's more than talk, it's about action β€” and here in our state, we're delivering.

We've passed balanced budgets, invested in our workforce, rebuilt infrastructure, lowered the cost of education, and put money back in your pockets where it belongs.

No number of pardons or lies will change what happened on January 6. Donald Trump can’t change history. It was domestic terrorism, it was treason, plain and simple.

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration to block the president’s attempt to end birthright citizenship.

An executive order does not have the power to override the Constitution.
