Guide On How to Help Muslims Affected by Travel Ban

Original article by Eleanor Ross published in the Time on 06/29/2017

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that Trump’s new travel ban, which bars citizens from six Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States for a period of 90 days, is allowed to restart today. Citizens from from Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Libya, Iran and Yemen must now prove they have a parent, sibling, or child in the United States in order to visit. Visas already issued will not be revoked. Journalists, students, workers or lecturers who have employment contracts in the United States are exempt from the ban. [Per Time magazine].

Below is a list, provided by Time magazine, of advocacy groups and legal organizations who can provide assistance to those in need.

CAIR
The Council of American Islamic Relations also provides legal services and support. Contact [email protected] or call 202-742-6420 for legal representation.

ACLU
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) argued on May 9 that the travel ban is a Muslim ban. After the debacle caused by the travel ban earlier this year, donations to the ACLU increased by six times its yearly average in one weekend. The ACLU provides legal assistance. You can contact the organization or donate here, or call 212-549-2500.

National Immigration Law Center
If you need help understanding the travel ban, and how it may affect you, friends or family, then get in touch with the National Immigration Law Center, which should be able to offer advice and help. Email: [email protected]

The International Institute of Minnesota
The International Institute of Minnesota helps to provide crucial refugee services, workforce development and help with immigration and citizenship. For services, advice, and assistance with settling in the United States as a refugee, get in touch here: [email protected]

The United States Council of Muslim Organizations
The USCMO is a catch-all destination for people looking for advice and help with the travel ban. They should be able to link those who need it with more local organizations here.
