Christian lawmakers and religious leaders have asked President Donald Trump to create expedited legal pathways for Jewish Canadians facing antisemitism. The National Association of Christian Lawmakers (NACL) sent a letter to Trump requesting the State Department and Department of Homeland Security develop such pathways. The NACL stated that over 2,000 Jewish Canadians have expressed interest in relocating to the US. Trump shared a report on the plan on Truth Social, amplifying the request. Former US Ambassador-at-large for International Religious Freedom Sam Brownback co-signed the letter.
Disagreement on Canadian Prime Minister's involvement
The New York Ledger reported that NACL founder and President Jason Rapert wants Trump to press Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney directly on perceived "roadblocks" against the "quick recognition of the plight" of Jewish Canadians. Rapert stated that Canada should be "embarrassed and ashamed of these perceived roadblocks." The New York Ledger also reported that Carney has acknowledged a severe rise in antisemitism in Canada, stating his country has failed to adequately protect its Jewish community and that Canada's "civic compact is failing Jewish Canadians."

None of the right-rated digests mentioned the specific statistics on antisemitism in Canada or the comments from Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney that were included in The New York Ledger's full report.
