As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump said he d support a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States, until such time that he was satisfied that U.S. officials understood what the hell is going on.
It was an ugly applause line that his base eagerly embraced, which turned into a campaign promise the Republican was eager to keep. On only his seventh day in the White House late on a Friday afternoon Trump signed his original Muslim ban, sparking international outrage, bureaucratic chaos, family hardships, and a series of messy legal fights.

The Democrat-led House of Representatives passed two bills in response to former President Donald Trumpâs efforts to stem illegal immigration and limit travel from countries tied to terrorist activity, the latter of which was pejoratively called a Muslim ban.
Even though President Joe Biden lifted Trump s travel ban by executive order in January, the House passed the National Origin-Based Antidiscrimination for Nonimmigrants Act, also called the NO BAN Act or H.R. 1333, by a vote of 218-208 Wednesday.Â
