The Anti-Defamation League's (ADL) New York headquarters reportedly received an anonymous bomb threat on Wednesday.



According to NBC New York, the group is currently working with law enforcement to determine if the threat at its national headquarters is related to the wave of bomb threats made against numerous Jewish centers in recent weeks.



ADL chief executive Jonathan Greenblatt said that the anonymous threat is being taken "very seriously."

"This is not the first time that ADL has been targeted, and it will not deter us in our efforts to combat anti-Semitism and hate against people of all races and religions," Greenblatt said.

President Trump condemned the rise of anti-Semitism on Tuesday after weeks of taking criticism for not being direct enough on the issue.

"Anti-Semitism is horrible and it's going to stop and it has to stop," Trump said at the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

The president said that the museum was "a meaningful reminder" of why America needs to fight "bigotry, intolerance and hatred in all of its very ugly forms."

The White House was also sharply criticized earlier this month for releasing a Holocaust Remembrance Day statement that did not specifically mention Jews or Judaism.
