Come for one, face us all: no travel ban ever.

We denounce in the strongest terms the Trump administration’s travel ban targeting 19 countries, including Muslim-majority, African, Asian, and Caribbean nations.

The revival and expansion of this Trump policy is yet another attack by his administration to demonize, harm and destabilize migrant and immigrant communities. This ban will divide loved ones from their families; separate U.S. citizens from their parents, spouses and children; prevent people from coming to the U.S for work or study; and stop individuals from their rights to seek vital medical care or safety.  

Like all fascist regimes, the Trump administration will stop at nothing in its campaign of mass detention, deportation, and isolation from the rest of the global community. Now, the Trump administration is once again weaponizing the language of antisemitism and national security as craven cover over these racist, xenophobic and authoritarian policies. Absolutely not! As anti-Zionist Jews, we are all too familiar with fascist regimes distorting the concept of Jewish safety to justify supremacy, dehumanization, state violence and oppression. From the U.S. to Palestine, we reject this. Instead we say: come for one, face us all.
