Donald Trump issued an executive order banning immigration to the US from seven predominantly Muslim countries, stranding many citizens who are no longer allowed to return. The ban has been met with global backlash and protests in American universities and cities, as critics argue it goes against American values and is illegal. As a student planning to study in the US, the author is angered by the ban and concerned about where limits on the president's personal prejudices may be drawn, given he was elected on a platform of extreme racism.
