Travel Ban Update

WASHINGTON – President Trump’s controversial Executive Order temporarily banning nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries is causing a crisis. PAAIA continues to monitor this situation.
Last night, we hosted a conference call with Representatives from civil rights organizations and immigration attorneys. to answer the community’s questions about how the immigration ban impacts them. Hundreds of community members joined the call.

Despite rumors that President Trump may include additional countries in the Order, the American Immigration Lawyer’s Association (AILA) has received word from the State Department that there are no current plans to expand the ban beyond the current countries. Click here for updated clarifications on the Order from the AILA.

We continue to collaborate with the Iranian American Bar Association (IABA) to track instances of U.S. border entry denial of Iranian Americans. Click here to report these cases.

On Capitol Hill, House Democrats are seeking an investigation into President Trump’s immigration Order, and have filed legislation rendering it null and void.

We will continue updating you on new developments.

Congress needs to hear from you! Click here to urge your Representative to support the SOLVe Act, and click here to tell your Senators to rescind the immigration ban.
