The University of California, Berkeley, provided personal information to the Trump administration about roughly 160 students and professors as part of a federal investigation into campus antisemitism, outraging critics and faculty who compared the move to the anti-communist purges of the McCarthy era.
Judith Butler, a prominent Jewish feminist and queer scholar at Berkeley with numerous family members who died in the Holocaust, was among those whose information had been shared. Butler has been a critic of Israel and has said its invasion of Gaza amounts to genocide.
