Muslim Ban

The "Muslim Ban" refers to a series of executive orders enacted by the U.S. government beginning in 2017, which restricted entry to the United States for nationals from certain predominantly Muslim-majority countries. The intent cited was to improve national security, but critics argued it unfairly targeted Muslims and included broad, discriminatory measures. The policy faced legal challenges and went through multiple revisions, with courts questioning its fairness and constitutionality. Overall, it was a highly controversial move that sparked debates on immigration, religious freedom, and national security.
