The Trump administration is following Project 2025's "Project Esther" program for cracking down on "anti-Semitism" to a T and is working with the Zionist Organization of America to pick which universities to target, Politico reports.
From Politico, "Trump's pro-Palestinian activism crackdown closely mirrors a plan from the creators of Project 2025":
The Trump administration's intensifying crackdown on universities and pro-Palestinian protesters closely mirrors a lesser-known blueprint from the same creators of Project 2025.
Quietly unveiled last fall before the election, the Heritage Foundation's Project Esther offered a roadmap for deploying anti-terror, hate speech and immigration laws to "exploit" the vulnerabilities of what it deems to be an antisemitic and "anti-American" pro-Palestinian movement. It's a playbook the White House appears to be following as it pulls university funding and strips students and professors of legal status — an effort that has launched the administration's aggressive immigration crackdown into a more controversial, politically dicier territory.
