Immigrant-serving organizations in the Bay Area are denouncing a new travel ban by the Trump administration that restricts entry for citizens of 19 countries. The ban received backlash from advocates, who see it as a means of power consolidation and family separation. Aarti Kohli, from the Asian Law Caucus, described the ban as draconian and likened it to historical discriminatory practices. The proclamation not only revives a previous ban but is also part of broader enforcement measures against immigrants, including recent arrests in the community.
"This sweeping travel ban is just one tool in a broader strategy to consolidate power by scapegoating communities and manufacturing fear."
"For most of us, there is nothing we wouldn't do to make sure our families are safe and together ... This policy will tear families apart worldwide."
