Monday was the three-year anniversary of Trump’s original executive order, which in its current iteration restricts travel from five Muslim-majority countries – Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen – along with North Korea and Venezuela.
The expansion could add six more countries to the list, according to reports.
Earlier this week, CAIR and other organizations took part in a court hearing and rally in Richmond Va., challenging the Trump administration’s Muslim Ban based on its discriminatory intent.
