Manhattan, New York, United States
"Adams has come under fierce criticism and growing calls for his resignation for allegedly striking a quid pro quo deal with the Justice Department to drop federal corruption charges against him in exchange for helping implement Trumps immigration crackdown. Manhattans acting U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon, who is Jewish, resigned last week in protest of the order to drop the corruption case."
Egypt
"We read in the Book of Exodus of how a new Pharaoh arose over Egypt who scapegoated and marginalized the Israelites, spinning a narrative that they were a threat and needed to be suppressed and ultimately enslaved, the 70 rabbis wrote in a letter addressing New York governmental leaders."
