NJ lawmakers will meet with Muslim leaders over Trump travel ban

Worldwide and local media, as well as social networks, circulated the executive order issued by United States president Donald Trump which banned people from numerous Muslim-majority countries to enter the US.

Giuliani, a lawyer by training and a former USA attorney, recently disclosed to the Washington Post that Trump had asked him to create that “Muslim ban” and find a way to make it legal. “Our most important allies in the fight against (Islamic State) are the vast majority of Muslims who reject its apocalyptic ideology of hatred”, McCain said in a joint statement with Sen. “Again, you talk about in a 24 hour period, 325,000 people from other countries flew in through our airports and we’re talking about 109 people from seven countries that the Obama administration identified”.

Increasingly, military leaders, security experts and prominent national Republicans, including veterans and USA senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, are weighing in on the president’s order and the chaos it has created.

Trump’s order is temporary, with security policies being reviewed and updated over the next 90 days.

The temporary travel ban does not now apply to any other countries or to individuals who have merely traveled to the above listed countries, but it is possible that the suspension will be expanded to include other countries or foreign nationals.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel says that even the fight against terrorism “does not justify placing people of a certain background or a certain faith under general suspicion”.

Today the Tweeter-in-Chief declared: “The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!”

Federal Judge James Robart ruled against government lawyers, who said U.S. states didn’t have the standing to challenge Trump’s order.

It’s hard for officials and advocates to give precise and accurate answers in the face of what’s happening because there is still a lot of confusion about Trump’s orders.

Trump’s policy on immigration is a policy against Islam, not terrorism.

But Donald Trump’s sweeping executive order on immigration, which the administration maintains is for American safety, was ill-considered, poorly communicated, and wreaked chaos in a nation already sadly divided. That decision survived an appeal and reached the Supreme Court.

Trump said the United States has taken “necessary action” in recent days to protect religious liberty in the United States, referring to his immigration action.

U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants of North Carolina Director Scott Phillips confirmed Friday morning that it was just a missed connection and that the organization’s clients were in the process of rescheduling their flight to the Triangle. Trump’s actions are a embarrassment to the world. As noted by the Pew Research Centre, the USA admitted nearly as many Christian refugees (37,521) as Muslim refugees (38,901) during the 2016 fiscal year-this despite the fact that Syria is a Muslim majority country.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has asked for “early clarity” from the USA administration on the situation.

Green card holders from the banned countries are also included, while refugees from Iraq and Syria were banned indefinitely from entering the United States.

The Executive Order does not apply to foreign nationals traveling to the US from the seven countries who are traveling on diplomatic visas, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) visas, C-2 visas for travel to the United Nations, and those under G-1, G-2, G-3 and G-4 visas.

There also are rumblings on social media of people traveling to airports to greet inbound immigrants. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.). “This executive order sends a signal, intended or not, that America does not want Muslims coming into our country“. The measure, which Trump says is aimed at protecting the country from terrorist attacks, has drawn protests and legal challenges.
