The Battle in Boston against Trump’s Immigration Ban – the fifth estate

February 4, 2017 7901 Views

With the stroke of a pen, President Donald J. Trump closes his nation’s borders to hundreds of millions of the world’s citizens — most of them Muslims.

Since the executive order for a sweeping ban on Muslims by President Trump, resistance has broken out across America — not just about who should be let in to the country, but about what kind of country America should be.

The ban isn’t only for immigrants, but for legal U.S. residents and visitors. The first protests were spontaneous, at airports and embassies. By the next day, the rallies were organized with millions of gathering across the country.

In these troubling times, Gillian Findlay is in Boston searching for the soul of America. It was the first city to challenge the ban in court, where everyone from the mayor and civil liberties lawyers to ordinary citizens are mobilizing to fight Trump’s new restrictions.
