Civil rights advocates express deep concern over a newly signed executive order by President Trump, claiming it lays the foundation for a more expansive travel ban reminiscent of the 2017 directive. The order not only targets prospective entrants but also seeks to expel foreign nationals already residing in the U.S., particularly international students advocating for Palestinian rights. Legal experts warn of extensive vetting measures to establish grounds for potential deportation and restricting the admission of citizens from certain countries. This marks a significant shift in immigration policy.
The new order is bigger and worse than the xenophobic travel ban that Trump imposed on several Muslim-majority countries in 2017.
The worst part of it now, it's looking to not just ban people outside the US entering the US, but also to use these same rationales as a basis to get people out.
This executive order could target foreign nationals already in the US legally and crack down on international students advocating for Palestinian rights.
The White House orders steps to deport foreign citizens whenever information is identified that would support exclusion or removal.
