Some of the nation’s leading civil rights groups told NBC News that they are gearing up for a flood of legal battles to protect the protesters.
Under Rubinstein, America First Legal has in the past year filed four lawsuits that provide a glimpse into how the Trump administration could differ from its predecessor.
America First Legal alleges in the suits that the State Department, the Justice Department, the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Education have protected pro-Hamas extremists.
Rubinstein in an interview brought up an additional law he expects a second Trump administration could enforce.
The Knight Institute said although it expects the new Trump administration to aggressively police speech, it is prepared to fight back.
