In a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, ADL urged the Trump Administration to reject anti-Muslim extremist Tommy Robinson's visa application to the U.S.

In a letter to House Speaker Paul Ryan, ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt urged him to strip Rep. Steve King from his chairmanships, and to take formal disciplinary action to censure him, following a series of anti-Semitic and offensive involvements and statements.

In comments submitted to the Office of Policy for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ADL argues in strong opposition to proposed rules by the DHS and HHS to amend regulations related to the Flores Settlement Agreement.

In a letter to Roger Severino, Director of the Office for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), ADL called for the rejection of South Carolina's request to allow federally funded, faith-based foster agencies within the State to deny applications of prospective Jewish and other foster parents on the basis of religion.

ADL’s steadfast anti-hate agenda compels us to voice our commitment to the State of Israel and to stand with the Confederación de Comunidades Judías de Colombia in lamenting the decision taken by outgoing president Juan Manuel Santos to recognize a Palestinian state. Such unilateral recognition runs counter to the historic position that Colombia has taken on the need for a two-state-solution that is mutually negotiated between Israel and the Palestinian people. In this letter we urge current President Duque Márquez to use the power of his office to reverse this regrettable decision that stands counter to the strong ties shared by Colombia and Israel.

In a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, ADL, along with 54 other national and 291 state and local Jewish organizations and institutions, expressed strong opposition to the "zero tolerance" immigration policy that separates children from their parents.
