The document was billed as 'a blueprint to counter antisemitism' and offered strategies to target and silence critics of Israel, including deportation. A fact sheet about the executive order related by the Trump administration mirrored language from Project Esther and laid bare the order’s intent to 'cancel the student visas of all Hamas sympathizers on college campuses,' vowing to deport 'all the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests.'</p><p>"Such ideas are increasingly gaining purchase in conservative discourse. Pledges to deport supporters of Palestinian rights were a key part of the Republican Party’s platform. A congressional bill introduced last May called for similar measures. </p><p>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Academia</span></a> is a key focus of Project Esther and Trump’s executive orders. While the most recent order instructs all agencies within the executive branch to take part in the crackdown, it encourages <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>surveillance</span></a> in specific areas, such as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/universities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>universities</span></a> and even K-12 schools, where administrators are being told to monitor and report <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/InternationalStudents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InternationalStudents</span></a> for possible deportation. </p><p>"On Monday, the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights launched investigations into five schools — <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ColumbiaUniversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ColumbiaUniversity</span></a>; <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UCLABerkley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UCLABerkley</span></a>; <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthwesternUniversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NorthwesternUniversity</span></a>; <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UniversityOfMinnesota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UniversityOfMinnesota</span></a>, Twin Cities; and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PortlandStateUniversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PortlandStateUniversity</span></a> — for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>antisemitism</span></a>, the first use of the executive order. </p><p>"'Americans and college students that visit the United States should be able to protest the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Israeli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Israeli</span></a> government’s human rights violations in the same way that the United United Nations, the International Criminal Court [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ICC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ICC</span></a>], <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmnestyInternational" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmnestyInternational</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRightsWatch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HumanRightsWatch</span></a>, and other respected institutions have for the past several years, without fear of retaliation,' said Robert McCaw, a leader with the Council on American-Islamic Relations who heads the government affairs department.
