CAIR warns Muslim immigrants against traveling abroad
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has warned immigrants in the United States to avoid overseas travel this month.
The warning follows reports that the Trump administration may introduce a new Muslim travel ban.
The restrictions could affect travelers from Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Palestine, Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen.
CAIR’s Government Affairs Director Robert S. McCaw urged lawful permanent residents, foreign students, workers, and refugees from these countries not to leave the U.S. unless necessary.
Reports suggest people from Afghanistan and Pakistan could face entry bans as early as next week.
CAIR says it is uncertain which countries might be affected.
The group is calling on the administration to reconsider any new travel bans.
It argues that such measures unfairly target Muslim-majority nations.
We must take charge of our narrative. Research indicates that 92% of their Muslim coverage is negative. Help us change that.
