California lawmakers, led by Rep. Judy Chu, and civil rights advocates are vocally opposing an expected travel ban from President Trump that targets foreign nationals based on their country of origin. Reports indicate a segmentation of over 40 countries into tiers, with a significant ban affecting nations like Iran and Syria. Critics label this initiative as discriminatory, with specific concerns over its impact on Muslim Americans and possible increased targeting of activists under its purported terms. Chu has reintroduced the NO BAN Act to counter such discriminatory measures.
Rep. Judy Chu condemned President Trump’s impending travel ban, stating it exemplifies 'discrimination, pure and simple,' especially impacting Muslim Americans from affected nations.
Yasmine Taeb described the potential implications of the travel ban as alarming, highlighting a risk of targeting individuals for deportation due to activism related to political beliefs.
