Listen • 1:28 A woman holding a protest sign was one of hundreds of people who showed up at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport on January 28, 2017, shortly after former President Donald Trump s travel ban took effect. Many protestors stayed there past midnight. President Biden signed several executive actions on his first day in office – one of those rescinds the so-called Muslim travel ban. In January 2017, former President Donald Trump banned foreign nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S.: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Numerous legal battles and other versions of the travel ban followed. The Trump administration removed Iraq from the list, for example, but added other countries, including North Korea and Venezuela.
