The Trump administration announced it was seeking federal control of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum in Lower Manhattan, displacing the nonprofit governance structure that has managed the site since its opening in 2011. The administration cited unspecified concerns about the site's management and messaging. New York Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams both opposed the move, framing it as federal encroachment on a state and city landmark.

Northwestern University president Michael Schill resigned as the Trump administration froze $790 million in federal research grants to the university, citing campus protest policies and alleged failures to combat antisemitism. The funding freeze affected research across medicine, engineering, and social sciences. Northwestern became the latest major research university targeted by the administration in a pattern of using federal funding leverage against institutions with progressive campus cultures.
