Trump has just announced Muslim Ban 3.0. It is FAR, FAR worse than the versions that came before it.

Muslim Ban 3.0 bans ALL IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Chad and North Korea, in addition to ALL VISITORS OF ANY KIND.

That means NO ONE from these countries will be allowed to get visas in to the United States anymore – not tourists, not businesspeople, not family reunions, not anything. The only exception is students from Iran (F, M, and J visas) – students from all the other countries are banned.

This means that Iranian-Americans are now completely cut off from our families inside of Iran, who are now forbidden from visiting.

This means Americans of Syrian, Somali, Libyan, Chadian, and Yemeni heritage are now cut off from family, friends, neighbors, loved ones.

This means no weddings, no funerals, no visits to grandma and grandpa, no seeing cousins, no nothing. There is no exemptions for family.

And this is INDEFINITE. Unlike the previous versions which were 90 days each and had to be renewed, this is FOREVER.

Imagine the families broken up, the lives torn apart, the connections shattered. The people caught in the middle.

My heart is broken. We must resist. There are no other options.

it’s supposed to start oct 18, 2017
