Podcasts about muslim travel ban

The so-called Muslim Travel Ban is being reinstated. We're going to talk about the ongoing worldwide fallout from the Israel-Hamas conflict and what it all means for a rapidly changing world.    Highlights:  “If you recall, Trump instituted a Travel ban that was ironically first recommended by the Obama administration. It was the travel ban of several countries: Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. It was a HUGELY popular ban in the polls, but that didn't stop the legacy media from infamously designated it the ‘Muslim travel ban', to highlight what they considered the inherently racist and xenophobic nature of the ban.” “This is what may indeed be perhaps the single major fallout from the Hamas-Israel conflict; a return to border security as the central issue of 2024 promises a Trump blowout like we never even imagined!”    Timestamps: [00:49] Trump's public declaration about the travel ban [03:52] The ban was originally struck down by judicial fiat [06:09] Anti-Trumper Arnold Schwarzenegger on the build-a-wall bandwagon Resources:  HE'LL BE BACK!

Audio of Part 1 of Justice Sotomayor's dissenting opinion in Trump v. Hawaii (2018)  Music by Epidemic Sound

Audio of Part 2: Trump v. Hawaii (2018) Justice Sotomayor, Dissenting (Muslim Travel Ban)  

Today I'll be reading the opinion of the Court in Trump v. Hawaii (2018) - also known as the Muslim Travel Ban case in which former President Donald Trump issued Proclamation No. 9645, asserting that it sought to improve the procedures used to screen the citizens of particular countries to determine whether they present “public safety threats” if permitted to enter the United States §1(a). So, the Proclamation placed entry restrictions on nationals from eight foreign countries whose systems for sharing information about those nationals were deemed inadequate by the former President. There were several questions before the Court in this case: First, whether the president had the statutory authority to issue the Proclamation to begin with. Also, whether the plaintiffs' challenge to such authority was justiciable in federal court, whether the global injunction barring enforcement of certain parts of the Proclamation was impermissibly overbroad and, finally, whether the Proclamation violated the Establishment Clause of the Constitution.

What can the faith of the migrant teach us about a living theology? The resilience and communal outlook of immigrants offers a way of seeing human relationships—political, social, religious—as porous and permeable, meant to encounter God in the other, welcoming each other in love and hospitality. Francisco Lozada (Brite Divinity School) joins Evan Rosa to reflect on his experiences at U.S.-Mexico borderlands, leading travel seminars and teaching about immigration and justice from a theological framework—they discuss the influence of liberation theology's guiding principle of the preferential option for the poor, the centrality of history in understanding immigration, the problem of American xenophobia, and the racialization of U.S. immigration policy.This episode was made possible in part by the generous support of the Tyndale House Foundation. For more information, visit tyndale.foundation."Building bridges, not walls.""God doesn't see borders. In my theological thinking, I don't imagine a God or theologize a God asking, "show me your papers." God's asking different questions: Did you feed me, did you give me something to drink, did you clothe me?During this trip to Nogales, we came across a group of students and they were celebrating mass. We were walking right by them. We were on the U.S. side, they were on the Mexican side, and they asked, do we want to celebrate mass there? And what I see that moment is, that mass, that prayer was a form or expression of resistance, of pushing back there. There are no borders between us.Prayer doesn't see borders. Faith doesn't see borders. That's the power religion. I think the power of theology, the power of prayer, is that it works—not always, but in its true sense—it works to build bridges, not walls." (Francisco Lozada, from the interview)Introduction (Evan Rosa)Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,With conquering limbs astride from land to land;Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall standA mighty woman with a torch, whose flameIs the imprisoned lightning, and her nameMother of Exiles. From her beacon-handGlows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes commandThe air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries sheWith silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”"The New Colossus" Emma Lazarus, 1883The generous spirit, the welcome for the wandering, taking in the homeless stranger, the refugee—these words that inscribe the Statue of Liberty offer a hopeful image of an America with open arms, a beacon of hospitality and safety in a dangerous world. How do we square this symbol of welcoming freedom with the reality of immigration policy today? Detention centers crowded with young children separated from their families, exploitation of undocumented migrants for agricultural labor, billions of dollars spent on "the wall," the false nativism of fair-skinned European-American immigrants.Alongside the ideals of The New Colossus embracing the "tired, poor, huddled masses," a history of racial purity, exclusion, xenophobia, and fear can be seen in immigration policy, from the Chinese Exclusion Act just four years before the dedication of Lady Liberty, to the discriminatory immigration quotas of the Johnson-Reed Act in 1924, all the way up to the Muslim Travel Ban of 2017.In the spring of 2018, approximately 5,500 children were separated from their families by Trump's zero tolerance policy. 1,700 children still live in detention centers, 3 years later.But how does this balance with the rights of a nation to enforce and manage its political borders? How should those borders be enforced justly? How should we prioritize national security and cultural integrity with the call to welcome the tempest-tost stranger through our "golden doors"?Well, beyond the dizzying political and moral questions that we have with us always, Francisco Lozada is thinking theologically about immigration and the migrant experience. He is the Charles Fischer Catholic Professor of New Testament and Latinx Studies at Brite Divinity School in Fort Worth, Texas.Lozada draws on his experiences at U.S.-Mexico borderlands, leading travel seminars and teaching about immigration and justice from a theological framework. In this episode we discuss the influence of liberation theology's guiding principle of the preferential option for the poor, the centrality of history in understanding immigration, the problem of American xenophobia, the racialization of U.S. immigration policy, and the ways Jesus, himself a migrant and refugee, crosses borders and boundaries throughout the Gospel narrative.Thanks for listening.AboutFrancisco Lozada, Jr. is the Charles Fischer Catholic Professor of New Testament and Latinx Studies at Brite Divinity School in Fort Worth, Texas.

It is the middle of President Joe Biden's first 100 days in office, and his administration has been hard at work attempting to end the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, as well as other policy priorities. But actions on immigration-related policy, as it relates to a shift in direction from Donald Trump, have been more modest. Jaye discusses Biden's ending of the Muslim Travel Ban and the lifting of restrictions for allowing unaccompanied minors into the US, among other immigration policies. Has Biden gone far enough to reverse Trump-era immigration policies, or is his centrism getting in the way of doing more?

President Joe Biden signed a stack of executive orders on his first day in the Oval Office, kicking off his agenda in the White House. Included in that stack was an end to the Trump-era travel ban on several Muslim-populated countries. The so-called Muslim Travel Ban. And a temporary halt of deportations.  GUESTS:  Ali Harb is a political reporter with the Middle East Eye.

How is it possible for laws that determine the fate of Muslim Americans to be decided without them having a seat at the decision-making table? That is the power imbalance that motivated the launch of Muslim Advocates by Farhana Khera in 2005. Muslim Advocates works “in communities, the courts and in Congress”, to expose and address discriminatory public policies and corporate practices impacting the lives of our nation’s over 400 Muslim Americans. The challenges faced by Muslim Americans require more than legal and legislative solutions. Our news media needs to tell the stories of who Muslim Americans are and how their lives have been impacted by misguided policy actions. Those include Mayor Bloomberg’s surveillance of community members simply for being Muslim and President Trump’s recently expanded Muslim Travel Ban. As Scott Simpson, Muslim Advocates Director of Policy Advocacy, explains to Power Station, working in partnership with other civil rights champions is critical to raising the profile of Muslim Americans and the hateful policies and rhetoric that harm them. Muslim Americans are standing up for themselves, their families and communities and all of us need to stand with them.    

On January 28, 2017 Donald Trump signed an executive order banning certain people from certain countries from coming into the US. Popularly called a Muslim Travel Ban, the order was met with immediate nationwide protests. This is a selection of interviews from the Atlanta airport protests held on January 29, 2017. As this episodes goes online the administration is preparing to define transgender people out of existence, the attack on immigrants continues, Flint, Michigan still doesn’t have clean water, and Puerto Rico and other hurricane impacted areas are on their own. There's a lot of political work to do, and Feeling Political takes a look at how to do it. This episode is part of the Feeling Political series, a collection that examines the intersection of feelings, politics, and action. Future episodes of Change Over Time in this series will talk about organizing strategies, visions for a new future, and maybe even hope.

https://onthegroundshow.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/OTG-FEB2-2018-DISTsmall.mp3 At the end of January 2018, there were dozens of actions in and around DC this week, some related to the now infamous State of the Union address. Some dealing, rather, with the REALITIES we face like climate change and the U.S. government's involvement in wars and attacks in the Middle East. In the second half of the show, we hear voices from outside the White House marking one year of resistance to the Muslim Travel Ban and resistance to attacks on immigrants and refugees, which have impacted millions of men, women and children. We also hear from Richard Wolff and Gerald Horne about Trump's first State of the Union address. Plus headlines on Fossil Free Fast, Black Lives Matter, authors Christopher Alan Chambers, Nick Licata and more.

#87: Muslim Travel Ban and An Angry Atheist On this holiday weekend, Cellar Door Skeptics pushes out the episode early in celebration of the last Fourth of July under Donald Trump. Today the episode will discuss the supreme courts decision to allow for some of the travel ban to go into effect. The duo look at the Scotus opinion from the judges and analyze if the courts have over stepped their boundaries again. Cellar Door Skeptics then brought back Matt Chapman to talk about the angry atheist trope. They decided it would be a good segment to do given the holiday season. Many people have to suffer through family functions and get accused of being angry at religion. And after last weeks scathing episode on the latest Scotus downfall allowing for a private school to get government funds for their religious school, they had to address why they were not angry at Christians but at a failure of government. #MuslimBan #AngryAtheist #Scotus #Christian #DonaldTrump #IndependenceDay #4thofJuly Subscribe: http://www.spreaker.com/user/cellardoorskeptics Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CellarDoorSkeptics RSS Feed: https://www.spreaker.com/user/8326690/episodes/feed iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/cellar-door-skeptics/id1044088575?mt=2&ign-mpt=uo%3D4 Website: http://cellardoorskeptics.com Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/cellar-door-skeptics Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cellardoorskeptics PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/CellarDoorSkeptics Intro Music: http://aloststateofmind.com/ Links ------ http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/26/politics/travel-ban-supreme-court/index.html https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/16pdf/16-1436_l6hc.pdf http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2017/06/how_the_supreme_court_paved_the_way_for_trump_s_muslim_ban.html http://www.scotusblog.com/2017/06/justices-agree-weigh-travel-ban-allow-parts-go-effect/ ------ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_attribution_error http://gretachristina.typepad.com/greta_christinas_weblog/2007/10/atheists-and-an.html http://educateinspirechange.org/spirituality/10-signs-personality-intimidating-others-never-tolerate-7/ ------ https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/matt2000/starship-awesome-3000 https://www.starshipawesome.com

In her second appearance on the Jim Polito Show, Raheel Raza says Trump is Right on the Muslim "Travel Ban."

It's our first emergency podcast! Right after the full Fourth Circuit heard oral arguments in the Muslim Travel Ban appeal, the Versus Trump co-hosts hopped on the line to do a deep-dive into the argument. The podcast includes audio clips of many key moments from the oral argument audio.We start off by analyzing what happened when Acting Solicitor General Jeff Wall got up to the podium to defend the travel ban [1:20-19:50]. We point out that the court was overwhelmingly populated by Democratic appointees, and they were not afraid to ask hard questions—like how the court could possibly ignore the President's repeated statements that he wanted to implement a Muslim ban. We thought that the Acting Solicitor General did his very best to offer up appealing reasons for upholding the ban, but we all thought that, as Charlie said, the SG made a fantastic argument "about a case that isn't this case." Ultimately, we doubt his arguments will hold up in light of the extraordinary and unusual clarity of the President's anti-Muslim rhetoric.We then break down the argument of plaintiff's counsel, Omar Jadwat of the ACLU, who was arguing that the Muslim travel ban was unconstitutional [19:50-30:30]. We wonder why Jadwat wasn't more forceful in pointing out how extraordinary and unusual this case is, and why he seemed to want to evade questions that could have been answered straightforwardly by pointing directly to the President's own clear, anti-Muslim statements. Still, given the strength of the plaintiffs' case and the left-leaning majority on the court, we predict that the court will agree with the plaintiffs, hold that the Muslim ban was unconstitutionally adopted, and continue to prohibit the federal government from enforcing the controversial executive order. We end with a few final thoughts and a prediction about how the case will come out. [30:30-end.] See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Congressman Ted Lieu of Los Angeles talks about TrumpCare, the new Muslim Travel Ban, and the call to investigate wiretapping of Trump Tower. Also: “High Noon” was the 1952 Western where Gary Cooper has to face the bad guys alone, because the local townspeople are all cowards. Glenn Frankel the Pulitzer-prize winning author says it's an allegory about the Hollywood Blacklist – and he thinks there are parallels to today. And Mark Rosenbaum is the attorney at Public Counsel who's been on the front lines of the fight against Trump's Muslim ban. Yesterday he argued the first case of a Dreamer they're trying to deport, in Seattle, and he represents the Afghan family that was detained for more than 40 hours at LAX last week despite the fact that they had visas and had been vetted for entry into the country.

Trump Gets "Stuffed" By The District Court (Seattle) And By The 9th Circuit Court Of Appeals (San Francisco). "3rd" Time (Supreme Court) Is The Charm!  ----> And The "Supremes" Aren't Likely To OVERTURN A Legitimate "Stay" Of The Trump Muslim Travel Ban. Trump Administration Argued That Border Protection Is Unreviewable By The Federal Courts. U.S. Court Of Appeals - 9th District, Said NOPE! Court Said Trump Administration Did Not Give Sufficient Cause For The Muslim Travel Ban. Game, Set, Match, Mr. Drumpf!
