Just in: Trump expands his travel ban. More lives at risk.
This just got even worse.
Trump has dramatically expanded his new travel ban — now adding 36 more countries and sweeping up entire groups of people, including asylum seekers, students, and even legal residents returning home. According to a Washington Post report, the ban now blocks travel from countries across Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia — with almost no transparency and no meaningful security rationale.
This is blatant discrimination, pure and simple.
Trump is fast-tracking a policy designed to stir fear, divide communities, and shut the door on immigrants of color. It echoes the worst of his first term — but this time, he’s moving even faster, and casting a wider net.
We cannot stay silent while families are torn apart and lives are put in danger. If Congress doesn't act now, this ban could be locked into place.
The original travel ban sparked massive protests and public outrage, and ultimately forced change. We have to rise up again, louder and stronger. Every voice counts.
This is our moment. Let’s make it count.
Thanks,
