Elyssa Schmier, regional director of Anti-Defamation League Michigan, said the allegations “paint a disturbing picture of individuals who sought to use fear, harassment and threats of violence to advance their cause.”
“The right to protest and lobby university officials does not extend to threats, property destruction, harassment, or efforts to terrorize individuals and communities,” said Schmier. “We commend federal, state and local law enforcement for their work investigating these allegations and protecting those who were targeted.”
