If you take us on, if you file lawsuits against the administration, if you support Democrats, if you allow for campus-wide protests against our priorities, you'll be next. And so what will happen here, what inevitably happens in every democracy in which this tactic is tried,

And so when students are filing a petition for a massive protest against the Trump administration policy, they may just find it much harder to be able to exercise free speech on those campuses.
