#Muslimban

Shortly after his inauguration, President Trump issued an executive order on January 27, banning refugees and nationals from seven majority-muslim countries including Syria, Iraq Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen from crossing borders into the US in line with his extreme vetting plan aimed at radical Islamic terrorists. The immigration ban was said to extend to green card holders, with various media outlets reporting that 500,000 legal permanent residents of the United States might very well not be able to re-enter the country if they had left or if are currently abroad, as a result of the controversial ban. The #Muslimban hashtag topped Twitter’s trends for days and days after, with users sharing their blunt opinions and real-life stories in the aftermath of Trump’s decision.
