The British government has declared antisemitism in the U.K. an "emergency” and announced plans to spend millions on increasing security around Jewish sites. This follows a string of arson attacks and a double stabbing in London’s Golders Green neighborhood. Two Jewish men were seriously injured, and a suspect has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Authorities are investigating possible links to Iranian proxies. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood emphasized the urgency of addressing antisemitism. Some say the government has not done enough and there are calls for pro-Palestinian marches to be banned.

The Board of Immigration Appeals has denied Mahmoud Khalil's latest attempt to dismiss his deportation case. This decision brings the former Columbia University student and Palestinian activist one step closer to possible expulsion. For now, Khalil remains free on a separate judge's order in federal court. Khalil decried the latest ruling as "biased and politically motivated." Khalil, a legal permanent resident, was the first publicly known arrest during the Trump administration’s crackdown on noncitizens critical of Israel. He denies any connection to Hamas or allegations of antisemitism. His attorneys recently requested a U.S. appeals court reconsider a separate decision that found he could be deported.
