US judge halts Trump’s executive order on Muslim immigration

The press releases issued following the telephone call said that the two leaders had talked about creating a safe zone in Syria for those displaced by the war.

What he has done instead is sign an executive order – freezing all immigration into the U.S. from seven Muslim-majority countries – which will have the complete adverse effect. Almost a quarter of them said immigrants from predominantly Muslim countries shouldn’t be allowed to come to the U.S.at all. There are many other entry ports for these killers as well.

The immigration order even prompted a statement from former president Barack Obama, who “fundamentally disagrees with the notion of discriminating against individuals due to their faith or religion”, a spokesperson said.

The final guidance documents issued by the Obama administration increased the United States refugee admission quota to 110,000. Bad reporting and myths.

But the legality of Trump’s order won’t be completely clear until it faces more hearings in federal court, according to USA Today. We stand firm with our friends, the Muslim Student Association of America (MSA) in carrying on their work to ensure Muslim students can carry on building a future in their country. On Friday, January 27, President Trump signed an executive order that affected the lives of many refugees and immigrants. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), in a separate legal action, filed a coordinated Freedom of Information Act request in all 50 states demanding to know how U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) offices are implementing President Trump’s immigration ban affecting seven countries and the court orders that struck it down.

Trump saved his biggest announcement of the day for the prime-time TV slot, when he unveiled his pick for the Supreme Court: conservative judge Neil Gorsuch. The ban bars people from countries whose citizens have not attacked Americans in the United States.

Citizens, dual nationals or those born in Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen have been banned from entering the USA for the next 120 days. Heck, the ban is only temporary.

While refugee admissions were suspended for a short time after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, refugees from Muslim-majority nations accounted for an ever-larger percentage of the total USA admissions in the years that followed.

The Obama administration discontinued the use of the registry in 2011, and officially shut down the NSEERS in December 2016. Trump’s policy simply resets refugee levels to their 2015 standards. Americans were concerned about the principle behind the issue, the fact that discriminating against people based on their religion and national origin was not something they could permit in their name.

When asked if they were the last refugee family expected to settle in North Carolina under Trump’s new orders, Phillips said he hoped not.

Nevertheless, this administration’s stated preference for Christians has only served to reinforce the notion that the executive order was anti-Muslim, while exacerbating sectarian tensions within the Arab community. Demographically this is a fair statement, as the nations the ban afffects all have vast majority-Muslim populations, with Syria having the lowest by percentage at 87 percent. Certainly. More clarity on the status of green-card holders would have helped. Green-card holders are permanent US residents who have already gone through extensive security screenings that can easily last a year or more. He writes that the measure was taken after two Iraqi refugees were arrested in Kentucky under terrorism-related charges (they remain the only two to be arrested for this reason).

But the bigger story here is not President Trump’s policy, which, after all, differs from his immediate predecessor only mildly.
