Overview

  • Mark Bray said his family’s reservation disappeared at the Newark Liberty boarding gate as they tried to depart for Spain.
  • Media reports state the airline rebooked the family for a Thursday evening flight, though no reason for the cancellation was given.
  • Bray relocated his wife and two children to Europe after his home address was posted online and he received multiple death threats, including one threatening to kill him in front of students.
  • A petition from Rutgers’ Turning Point USA chapter labeled him “Dr Antifa,” accused him of ties to the movement, and urged his removal; Bray says he has researched antifascists but is not a member.
  • Rutgers declined to comment on personnel matters and issued a safety statement, as unions backed Bray while the Trump administration escalated rhetoric and events targeting antifa.
