The Trump administration is discussing the possibility of offering asylum to Britain’s Jews to allow them to flee the antisemitic UK, Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Robert Garson has said. The Telegraph has the story.

Robert Garson, Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, said he had been in talks with the State Department about providing sanctuary for Jews fleeing antisemitism in the UK.

Garson, who was born in Manchester, told the Telegraph that the UK was “no longer a safe place for Jews”.

He said the Islamist attack on a Manchester synagogue and the widespread antisemitism evident in the wake of the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel had led him to conclude British Jews should be offered refuge in the US.

In an interview with the Telegraph, Garson said he could see “no future” for Jews in the UK and laid much of the blame on Sir Keir Starmer for allowing antisemitism to flourish.

Garson said he had raised the idea of offering the US as a safe haven to British Jews with Mr Trump’s antisemitism tsar in his capacity as a board member of the US Holocaust Memorial Council. Trump appointed Garson to the council last May after firing board members appointed by Joe Biden. …

Garson, a former London-based barrister who moved to the US in 2008, said: “The UK is no longer a safe place for Jews. I have spoken to the State Department as to whether the President should be offering British Jews asylum in the US.

“It is certainly not an unattractive proposition. It is a highly educated community. I have spoken to people in the State Department and I have mentioned it in my role on the Holocaust Museum board.

“It is a populous that speaks English natively, that is educated and doesn’t have a high proportion of criminals. There were conversations.”

Garson, who lives in Florida and whose connections to the Trump administration are becoming increasingly influential, added: “When I look at what is going on with Jews in Britain, and when I look at the changing demographics, I don’t believe – and I have discussed this with people in the Trump administration – that there is a future for Jews in the United Kingdom. For me, that is particularly sad.”

He accused the Crown Prosecution Service of failing to uphold the law in its refusal to bring charges against protesters “on the streets of Britain who had glorified in the rape or death of Jews” after the October 7th 2023 Hamas attacks.
