I'm looking for something to throw at a lib. I'd thought that DC coordinated the crackdowns but I can't find anything at all, all the news sources I can dig up either make vague claims based on Biden's speeches or don't talk about any kind of coordination.

I'd be frankly shocked if the waves of repression across the country weren't coordinated in some fashion by some body. Since US policing has been steamlined and vertically integrated since 9/11 I assumed their would be documents showing it was coordinated by federal authorities through police intelligence fusion centers, national intelligence briefs, things like that but I cannot find anything. Before I eat my crow and admit I was wrong does anyone have anything showing federal coordination and involvement?

I think there was a mix of intimidation and also collaboration with colleges. Putting several collage presidents through 5 hours of grilling on their "handling of antisemitism" on their campuses can only read as intimidation to me. After these hearings, a wave of reports about what the "Biden administration is doing to combat antisemitism" were released. Here are some links I found in my searches.
