flag New York settles with Betar US over threats and hate speech, imposing a $50,000 penalty.

flag New York Attorney General Letitia James announced a settlement with Betar US, a right-wing Jewish group, requiring it to cease threatening or intimidating activists of any faith at protests and stop inflammatory social media posts, facing a $50,000 penalty for violations. flag The agreement follows allegations of bias-motivated harassment, including claims of using facial recognition to identify protesters and submitting their names to the Trump administration for potential deportation. flag James cited a pattern of incitement, including calls to bring dogs and wear helmets, and labeling head coverings as “rape rags.” Though Betar’s chairman denied wrongdoing and said the New York entity was inactive, James said the group had been active in the region and planned to wind down operations. flag The case highlights broader concerns about doxing and extremist tactics in political activism.
