ACLU' wants to know how people are 'living with the Muslim ban'

DO YOU have a story on how Donald Trump's Muslim Ban has affected your life or your family? The ACLU wants to hear from you.

 On April 25, the Supreme Court heard a challenge to Donald Trump’s Muslim ban, which has been in effect since December. As a result, the United States currently bans nationals of five Muslim-majority countries — Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen — 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.

The ACLU 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 “Islam hates us,” and has spun that prejudice into actual policy.

Their stories illustrate how profoundly the ban has already changed their lives — and what’s at stake at the Supreme Court. Click here to read and hear their stories or if you want to tell your own story.
