How You Can Help:
The NO BAN Act, if passed, will prevent any future president from instating discriminatory travel bans. By taking action here, you will be sending a direct message to your Congress members, urging them to commit to supporting the NO BAN Act. Please take action today to fight the Muslim Ban.
What Was the Muslim Ban?
First enacted in 2017, the Muslim Ban restricted entry to the U.S. from several Muslim-majority countries, including Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen. Over 135 million people were impacted, with families separated, refugees stranded, and communities stigmatized. Despite being challenged in court, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the ban, setting a dangerous precedent by prioritizing executive authority over religious freedom.
Why This Matters Now
The Muslim Ban targets individuals based on their faith, violating fundamental constitutional rights.The Trump administration has announced its intention to reinstate and expand the ban, potentially including Palestinians from Gaza. The Supreme Court's 2018 decision will continue to allow such policies to resurface unless legislation like the NO BAN Act is passed to prevent future abuses of power.
The NO BAN Act will:
• Limit presidential authority to impose travel bans without evidence-based justification.
• Require transparency and regular reporting to Congress for any travel restrictions.
• Ensure protection against discrimination based on religion or national origin in immigration policies.
