After wave of threats on Jewish centers, ADL calls for action
The Anti-Defamation League has again called on the Trump administration to act in light of numerous reported threats against Jewish Community Centers across the U.S. on Monday.
"The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is deeply disturbed by additional bomb threats directed against Jewish Community Centers (JCCs) in multiple states across the United States today — the fourth series of such threats since the start of the year," the group said in a statement.
As of Monday evening, bombing threats had been received in at least 10 Jewish community centers, including Buffalo ; Chicago ; Houston ; Nashville ; Birmingham, Ala. ; St. Paul, Minn. ; Whitefish Bay, Wis. ; and Albuquerque, N.M .

The Anti-Defamation League has again called on the Trump administration to act in light of numerous reported threats against Jewish Community Centers across the U.S. on Monday.
"While ADL does not have any information at this time to indicate the presence of any actual bombs at any of the institutions threatened, the threats themselves are alarming, disruptive, and must always been taken seriously," the organization said.
The group, however, reiterated their call for President Donald Trump and his administration to outline how they planned to deal with the issue.
The ADL came out strongly against the president's response, calling it "mind-boggling."
"On two separate occasions over the past two days, President Trump has refused to say what he is going to do about rising anti-Semitism or to even condemn it," said ADL's national chair, Marvin Nathan, and CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt.
"It is mind-boggling why President Trump prefers to shout down a reporter or brush this off as a political distraction."
Trump should call to end all federal taxes on guns and ammunition so they can better afford to defend themselves.
With increased Muslim immigrants and refugees we should expect a spike.
