Muslims Protest Trump's Travel Ban: Here's How People Are Reacting To New Middle East Policy

President Donald Trump is expected to sign executive orders Wednesday at the Department of Homeland Security that would temporarily ban Muslim refugees and some visa holders from entering the U.S., according to reports. Countries that would be most impacted include Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.

While Trump tweeted late Tuesday that he had a "big day planned on NATIONAL SECURITY tomorrow," many Muslims and their allies have expressed outrage over the plan. CAIR, a non-profit civil rights group, was organizing an emergency rally Wednesday night against Trump’s Muslim travel ban at 5:00 p.m. EST at Washington Square Park in New York. More than 1,000 protestors had RSVP'd on the event's Facebook page as of Wednesday morning. Another 2,383 people were said to be "interested" in attending.

A total of 38,901 Muslim refugees entered the U.S. in the fiscal year 2016, making up roughly half (46 percent) of the 85,000 refugees who entered the country in that period, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of data from the State Department’s Refugee Processing Center. The other half were almost all Christians.

Below is what some social media users are saying about Trump's Muslim travel ban policy.

Some social media users were also perplexed over why Saudi Arabia isn't on the list.

"Notice that Trump's immigration ban does not include Saudi Arabia (home to most of the 9/11 hijackers). Oil money trumps the Muslim ban apparently," a Facebook user wrote Tuesday.

"Interesting. What country did all but one of the hijackers on 9/11 come from? Saudi Arabia I believe. Are they on the list? Wahhabism comes from Saudi Arabia & what religion does Daesh claim to follow? So the country that is the main threat to USA isn't on the list? Laughable! Build your wall Trump, not only will it keep poor people out, it will keep American Trump lovers in!" wrote another.
