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." ## What the coverage left out None of the centre-rated reports mentioned the specific wording used by Geller Report regarding "Muslim Jew hatred." 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.

Both The New York Ledger and the Jerusalem Post reported that Christian lawmakers and religious leaders asked Trump to establish an expedited legal pathway for Jewish Canadians to relocate to the US. The New York Ledger noted that Trump shared a report on the plan on Truth Social. Both outlets mentioned the NACL sent a letter to Trump and that over 2,000 Jewish Canadians have expressed interest in relocating. The New York Ledger also included details about antisemitism in Canada, citing statistics and comments from Prime Minister Mark Carney. ### Right - The right-rated reports focused on Christian leaders urging President Trump to create a legal pathway for Jewish Canadians facing antisemitism. Multiple reports highlighted the NACL's request to the State Department and Department of Homeland Security for "lawful, secure, and appropriately expedited pathways." Several digests noted that Trump shared a post on social media amplifying the request. Some reports included the NACL's statement that over 2,000 Jewish Canadians have expressed interest in relocating. Geller Report included the phrase "Muslim Jew hatred is an existential threat to Jews in Canada." **Provisional coverage gap:** left.
