Trump’s “Muslim Ban” was so notorious that Old Joe Biden’s handlers directed him to repeal it by executive order on the first day of his presidency. And that was that, right? Wrong. House Democrats have now moved to make sure this manifestation of racism, white supremacy, and all that is evil never recurs.
The “Muslim Ban” was one of the most offensive aspects of the Trump administration, as far as leftists and Hamas-linked Islamic advocacy groups such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) were concerned, as it was supposedly a racist, “Islamophobic” endeavor to keep Muslims out of the United States.

Trump had issued the ban in 2017 shortly after taking office. Struck down twice by US courts before having been reintroduced as a ‘national security measure’ it was eventually upheld by the US Supreme Court in 2018. At the outset the ban applied to travel to the US from Syria, Iran, Yemen, Somalia, and Libya, North Korea and Venezuela. Then, in 2020, the bill was expanded to include Myanmar, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Nigeria, Sudan and Tanzania.
