Patrick Dai, 21, formerly a junior at Cornell University and originally from Pittsford, New York, pleaded guilty Wednesday to posting threats to kill or injure another person using interstate communications, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis defendant is being held accountable for vile, abhorrent, antisemitic threats of violence levied against members of the Cornell University Jewish community,\u201d said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department\u2019s Civil Rights Division. \u201cIn the elevated threat environment that we have seen since Oct. 7th, we have been vigilant and stand ready to hold perpetrators of hate crimes accountable.\u00a0Antisemitic threats of violence are unacceptable in our society, and we will not tolerate this conduct. Particularly at institutions of higher learning, people should feel safe to pursue educational opportunities.\u00a0The Justice Department takes seriously our obligation to protect students from hatred and harassment and will continue to use every tool available to ensure that students are able to feel safe and secure.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
