The shooting took place late Wednesday outside the Capital Jewish Museum, which was hosting an American Jewish Committee event at the time of the incident.

US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced the deaths in an X post, saying, “We are actively investigating and working to get more information to share.”

The suspect, identified as 30-year-old Elias Rodriquez of Chicago, Illinois, "chanted 'Free, free Palestine,’ while in custody," she added.

They were already cracking down. Did you forget what happened to the student protests?

Of course I haven't, that's what I'm referring to when I say further crackdowns. But cracking down is not a binary, and I think the cracking down worsening on account of these murders is a legitimate worry to have.
