A Judge Just Granted A Restraining Order Against Trumps Second Muslim Ban
Almost on cue, President Trump’s second anti-Muslim “travel ban” has hit a major snag. A judge on the Western District Court of Wisconsin has issued a temporary restraining order against the government, allowing an unknown plaintiff to be reunited with his wife and children, who are stranded in the devastated city of Aleppo, Syria.
Trump’s second Muslim ban is similar to the first, restricting travelers from six Muslim-majority nations – Syria, Somalia, Libya, Yemen, Iran, and Sudan – from entering the United States for 90 days.
Crucially, it now leaves out Iraq due to concerns that it would hamper counterterrorism efforts against Daesh (ISIS/ISIL), which undermines the entire premise of the ban, which is to prevent Daeshi “sleeper agents” from infiltrating the United States as tourists or refugees.
The ban on Syrian refugees fleeing the brutal six-year civil war has been reduced to 120 days. The current ban also allows those with green cards and legal residents to return to the United States.
