Summary
More than 2,000 Jewish Canadians have expressed interest in relocating, and Trump amplified a proposal for expedited legal U.S. entry by sharing a report on Truth Social.
A Christian-led coalition asked Trump, the State Department and DHS to use existing refugee, humanitarian and visa authorities to create lawful fast-track pathways for Jewish Canadians and immediate family members fearing persecution.
Nearly 7,000 antisemitic incidents have been reported in Canada, the letter says, versus fewer than 6,300 in the far more populous United States; Carney has said Jews are 1% of Canada but targets of two-thirds of religion-motivated hate crimes.
The push reflects attacks on Jewish schools, synagogues, businesses and students since the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack, with supporters including more than 50 lawmakers and religious leaders and Oklahoma offering to receive families.
