On January 25th the media reported that President Trump is circulating a draft executive order titled “Protecting the Nation from Terrorist Attacks by Foreign Nationals”. The draft order says that the U.S. will temporarily ban entries from seven majority-Muslim countries (Iraq, Iran, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, and Yemen) and bars all refugees from coming to the US for several months.
It is criminal for the U.S. to bomb and attack other countries and then turn away refugees when the U.S. has destroyed their homelands! It is outrageous for Trump to consider doing this while at the same time planning to expand the war in Iraq and Syria!
On 1/25 the president also issued an executive order to start building a stronger wall between the U.S. and Mexico and he is talking about issuing more executive orders attacking immigrants. Speak out against his racist foreign policy!
Organized by the Anti-War Committee
