LIVING WITH THE MUSLIM BAN
On June 26, the Supreme Court upheld the Trump administration鈥檚 third Muslim ban. As a result, the United States currently bans nationals of five Muslim-majority countries 鈥� Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen 鈥� and a minuscule number of North Koreans and Venezuelans from coming to the country on most or all types of visas, even if they have spouses, children, parents, or other family members in the United States. We invited people to share how the ban affects their lives. Stories poured in from the United States and abroad; of families separated, weddings postponed, and lives uprooted. Communities across the country are grappling with what it means to be Muslim in the United States, living under a president who says that 鈥淚slam hates us,鈥� and has spun that prejudice into actual policy.
