President Trump announced a travel ban targeting citizens from 12 countries, citing a recent violent attack on the Jewish community by an individual who overstayed his visa. While some in the Jewish community appreciated efforts against antisemitism, many leaders criticized the connection made between immigration policy and the attack. They argue it detracts from the real threats Jews face and highlights a political misuse of their suffering. The White House clarified that the travel ban wasn't specifically in response to the Boulder attack but emphasized vetting as a priority.
We don't want 'em.
Jews are not asking for this. This is not what Jews need or what keeps us safe.
It's not a moment to talk about immigration policy.
What we need to be talking about... is the way Jews are used to score political points when it's convenient.
