This Executive Order should be taken as the sham that it is. Trump, the far-Right, and ultra-conservative groups like the Heritage Foundation have never protected Jewish people; they are not concerned with Jewish safety, nor do their actions protect Jewish communities.

Press Release

"Benjamin Kersten, a Jewish student at UCLA who joined the student encampment against the Israeli military’s genocide last spring:

“This Executive Order has the potential to rip apart our communities, destroy my fellow classmates’ lives, and set a precedent that allows for authoritarian attacks on any group that opposes the MAGA agenda. As a Jewish student I refuse to allow my identity to be fuel for fascist crackdown on my fellow students.”"
