Trump Pledges Tough Immigration Measures, Including Expulsion of Hamas Supporters and Muslim Ban
Former President Donald Trump has pledged to expand his first-term Muslim travel ban and bar refugees from Gaza if he wins a second term, following the recent deadly attack on Israel. Trump stated that he would implement "ideological screening" for immigrants, barring those who sympathize with Hamas and Muslim extremists. These proposals would mark a significant expansion of his controversial immigration policies, which drew criticism from activists but helped him win the presidency in 2016. Trump also expressed his intention to aggressively deport resident aliens with "jihadist sympathies" and revoke student visas for foreigners who hold anti-American and antisemitic views.
