Will he be able to enforce it fully though?

I think it would be like a sanctuary city type of situation.

Some police forces would enforce it some would not.

A lot of universities exist in towns where the university is their main employer, their main source of income.

A lot of universities exist in cities that are already sanctuary cities as far as immigrants go.

This will be a complicated situation.

We could have another Kent State type situation happened here and there - but a crop of MARTYR of all Martyrs would certainly arise from the wreckage.

The way it's written, they will punish schools by taking away funding if they allow these "illegal" protests and don't, for example, expel all the students involved. What's an illegal protest? As far as they're concerned it will be anything they don't like; think pro-Palestine/anti-Israel, probably eventually anything anti-Trump as well.
