The Travel Ban in Narrativesclose

 Our research is focused on the travel ban from President Trump’s Executive Order 13780: “Protecting The Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States”. We are looking specifically at the impacts of the travel ban, commonly referred to as the “Muslim Ban,” on the Muslim community in Washington state, focusing even more narrowly on the UW student population. The purpose of our research is to find out the direct effects of the ban on people’s lives, opposed to statistics we receive in the news and through social media outlets. We are conducting interviews with affected Muslim communities in Washington State. We are reaching out to friends and community organizations that provide aid to Muslim communities affected by the travel ban. We conducted two separate types of interviews: one for people affected by the ban and one for relief providers. Our results show that the ban has largely impacted people’s abilities to see their family and has imposed a lot of doubt and uncertainty about their future. Additionally, interviewees expressed a lack of awareness of their rights.
