“Muslim Ban” in the first term in office
In his first term (2017–2021), Trump had issued the controversial “Muslim Ban”. At that time he prohibited entry for refugees and citizens from several mostly Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Iraq was later deleted by the list.
The original ban on entry was implemented without warning and led to chaos at airports worldwide. People with valid residence permits were initially held or sent back. After massive protests and legal disputes, the Trump government revised the rules.
In June 2018, the Supreme Court confirmed a final version that also included countries such as North Korea. The admission of some Muslim countries that were not majority served the Trump government to invalidate the accusation of religious discrimination. Despite the strict guidelines, some people were allowed to continue entering the United States – such as diplomats.
Trump’s successor, the Democrat Joe Biden, picked up the decree in January 2021, only hours after his inauguration.
