'This is the reward?' Arab MAGA voters enraged by new Trump travel ban
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-travel-ban-2672360383/
Arab-American voters who cast a ballot for Donald Trump are outraged that the president signed off on a new travel ban to the United States that includes much of the Middle East, reported ABC News this week.
Countries on the ban list include Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. Trump officials describe it as necessary to protect [our] citizens from aliens who intend to commit terrorist attacks, threaten our national security, espouse hateful ideology, or otherwise exploit the immigration laws for malevolent purposes.
But some Arab activists who threw their lot in with Trump don't see it that way.
"The ban on travel from certain countries that took effect Monday reminiscent of President Donald Trump's first-term restrictions that became known to many as the 'Muslim ban' is once again souring relationships among Arab American voters in the key battleground state of Michigan, a group that Trump sought to make inroads with during the 2024 election," said the report.
