Media Roundup: Trump's Executive Order

In December, Trump signed an executive order that directs government agencies, including the Department of Education, to consider a distorted definition of antisemitism designed to censor human rights activists, after failed attempts to pass similar legislation in Congress.
In the aftermath of the order, Palestine Legal’s voice and expertise were lifted up throughout the media, including in The Guardian, Haaretz, Newsweek, and Politico.
