Five countries are under consideration, but they have not yet been named. I guess CAIR assumes they are all Muslim countries because they are “calling on all Americans to urge their members of Congress to strongly oppose the expansion of the Trump administration’s discriminatory Muslim Ban.

CNN has reported that, according to two sources, “Trump administration officials are discussing adding more countries to the travel ban” and that “inter-agency discussion” was underway “about imposing travel restrictions” on “fewer than five countries.” It’s unclear which countries are currently under consideration or if they are majority Muslim.

An inter-agency discussion about imposing travel restrictions on countries that are not compliant with electronic documents and information sharing — a key focus of the administration — is underway, according to a senior administration official. Fewer than five countries are under consideration, the official said.

The goal, the official said, is to “bring governments into compliance by using the power of access to the United States.”

The administration has argued that the travel ban is vital to national security and ensures countries are in compliance with security measures. But critics say the restrictions imposed by President Donald Trump’s executive order are an attempt to ban Muslims from entering the United States.

In 2018, the Supreme Court upheld the third version of the travel ban after previous bans ricocheted through the courts. The ban restricts entry from seven countries to varying degrees: Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen, along with Venezuela and North Korea.

On April 10, Democrats introduced a bill known as the “No Ban Act” in the House and Senate to overturn the ban, but the measure is not expected to pass the Senate.

In a statement, Hamas-linked CAIR Director of Government Affairs Robert S. McCaw said:

“Only Congress’ outright rejection of President Trump’s expansion of the Muslim Ban can put a stop to this discriminatory program which is rooted in an Islamophobic campaign promise and continues to inspire anti-Muslim bias incidents and hate crimes.

At the U.S. House of Representatives hearing on the Muslim Ban in September, CAIR alleged that the Muslim Ban Visa Waiver Program is a broken system that has separated American families and led to an incalculable amount of human suffering and tragedy.”

In September, CAIR submitted a written statement to the joint congressional oversight hearing on the Trump administration’s Muslim Ban by U.S. House Judiciary’s Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship and Committee on Foreign Affairs’ Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations.

Apparently they got no response.
