The New York Times’ podcast, The Daily, released an episode discussing Project Esther, a blueprint developed by the Heritage Foundation, and embraced by the Trump administration, that laid the groundwork for deporting pro-Palestinian students under the guise of combating antisemitism. The episode included excerpts from an open letter signed by three dozen former leaders of major Jewish organizations, which was co-organized by Nexus Project National Director Jonathan Jacoby. The letter urged Jewish leaders to “resist the exploitation of Jewish fears and publicly join with other organizations that are battling to preserve the guardrails of democracy.”
