As Immigrant Communities Face Intense Pressure, Is Philanthropy Ready? - Non Profit News | Nonprofit Quarterly
Briefly

As President Trump's second administration commences, the groundwork for a new travel ban targeting Muslim and African nations is being laid. Executive Order 14161 mandates the identification of countries facing bans or extreme vetting by March 21, reminiscent of previous controversial policies. Unlike the dramatic protests seen in 2017, this initiative seeks to prevent immediate chaos by extending the timeline. However, the new order poses an even greater threat by threatening to penalize lawful visa holders and US citizens for dissenting government policies, thereby increasing fears within affected communities.
Trump's new executive orders signal a return to restrictive immigration policies, threatening both lawful visa holders and US citizens if they voice dissent.
The absence of an immediate travel ban does not mean safety; it merely postpones chaos as the Trump administration identifies potential countries for future restrictions.
The administration's measures are broader than previous actions, targeting not just travelers but also seeking to penalize critics of government policies.
With the looming deadline of March 21, communities nationwide are anxiously anticipating the implications of Trump's directive on immigration and travel policies.
