Over 225+ Organizations Oppose the 2025 Entry Ban
We are proud to join over 225 organizations in a collective statement of solidarity against the racist 2025 Entry Ban announced by the Trump Administration. Led by Muslims for Just Futures and UndocuBlack Network, with support from Building Movement Project, this effort reflects broad, cross-movement resistance to a ban that targets 19 countries—predominantly Black, Brown, Muslim-majority, and Global South nations.
This ban is part of a long legacy of policies that separate families, criminalize entire communities, and restrict access to safety and opportunity. We reject this ban. We stand with those it harms. And we call on legal advocates, faith leaders, community care providers, and people of conscience to take action and show up in defense and solidarity.
FAQ: Understanding the 2025 Entry Ban
Muslims for Just Futures, in partnership with our Legal Network, has released a comprehensive FAQ to help our communities navigate the 2025 Entry Ban—announced by the Trump Administration on June 4, 2025.
This ban targets 19 countries, many of them Black, Brown, Muslim-majority, and in the Global South. It marks a renewed and dangerous escalation in discriminatory immigration policy.
Our FAQ breaks down who is impacted, what the ban includes, and what rights people still have—especially when traveling.
