What exactly does Trump mean by "Mu Banling"?

The Muslim ban, also known as the Muslim ban, is a ban issued by US President Trump after he took office, prohibiting citizens from seven countries including Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Somalia, Yemen and Libya from entering the United States.

background

At present, the biggest threat to the world pattern comes from terrorism. The world has suffered three consecutive terrorist attacks: the Russian ambassador to Turkey was shot dead, a Christmas market in Berlin, Germany was hit by a truck, causing many casualties, and a shooting incident occurred in Zurich, Switzerland. Terrorism has become a public enemy of the world. In particular, the threat of "Islamic State extremist terrorist organization" and "Al Qaeda" from the Middle East has also fallen on the interests of the United States, which has seriously consumed its own strength in the war on terrorism for decades. US President Trump said in a statement that the "Islamic State" and other Islamic terrorists continue to slaughter Christians in their communities and religious venues, which is part of global jihad.

Issue a ban

2017 65438+1On October 27th, Trump signed a decree entitled "National Protection Plan to Prevent Foreign Terrorists from Entering the United States", which was called "Muslim Ban" by civil society and the Democratic Party. The executive order requires that citizens of seven countries, including Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Somalia, Yemen and Libya, be prohibited from entering the United States within the next 90 days. In addition, Trump also suspended the original refugee reception project for 120 days to conduct a comprehensive background check on the refugees, and Obama's plan to resettle Syrian refugees in the United States was also suspended indefinitely. The ban has reduced the number of refugees from all over the world that the United States plans to receive this fiscal year to 50,000, a drop of more than 50%.

A voice of opposition

Trump's "Mu Banling" has aroused widespread concern and criticism from the international community.

In addition to France, Germany, Canada and other Western allies questioned, Iran and other countries involved also quickly introduced countermeasures. There were many protests in the United States on the 28th, which were strongly resisted by the Democratic Party and civil rights groups. On the afternoon of 28th, a federal judge in new york issued an emergency judgment, demanding that the repatriation of citizens of relevant countries be suspended.

The United Nations called on Trump to reconsider his ban. "The global demand for refugees and immigrants has never been so serious, and the US refugee resettlement plan is crucial." Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau posted on social networks on the 28th, saying that Canada welcomes those who avoid persecution, terror and war. Diversity is our strength. France criticized Trump's approach as "isolationism", and Hollande said that Europe must make a "resolute response" to the ban. German Foreign Minister gabriel said that helping others is the main value of Christianity. He pointed out that this kind of values united the West, and it is time to show this to the United States again. British Prime Minister David theresa may, who is visiting the United States, chose to keep silent when asked about this matter on the 27th.

It is difficult to deal with countries in the Middle East that are listed in the "Mu Ban Order". Iraqi parliamentarian Janu said that the Iraqi government will take retaliatory measures and refuse American citizens to enter Iraq. This will affect the entry of American soldiers, diplomats and companies, and the existing cooperation between the two countries will be affected. The Iranian government issued a statement on the 28th, calling Trump's executive order "an affront to the Muslim world, especially to the great Iran". The statement said that the issuance of visas to American citizens will be restricted and legal, consular and diplomatic measures will be considered, but American citizens who have obtained Iranian visas will not be affected.

Santos, President of Colombia and winner of the 20 16 Nobel Peace Prize, did not criticize Trump by name in his speech, but he said that remarks such as discrimination and rejection of immigration should be changed, and people full of discrimination are not qualified to talk about human nature.

Latest progress:

On the morning of February 8, the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco held a hearing on the court ruling of Trump's immigration ban, listened to the oral statements of the US Department of Justice and Washington and Minnesota, and decided where Trump's "ban" would go. The two sides debated for more than an hour. The core is whether Trump's "Mu Ling Ban" discriminates against Muslims. The court may announce the result this week.
