Historical Background

January 29, 2017 was the second day of protests in Seattle against President Donald Trump’s travel ban (Executive Order 13769), which went into effect January 27, 2017. The order suspended entry into the country of citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen for 90 days and for an indefinite period for those from Syria. It also limited the total number of refugees to be admitted to the United States during 2017. Because of President Trump’s expressed desire to ban Muslims from the United States while campaigning and due to the Muslim majority of the countries affected, the order is often referred to as the Muslim ban. Many signs at the protest expressed support for Muslim citizens and those affected by unrest and violence in Syria, and many utilized the tag #NoBanNoWall to protest President Trump’s proposed wall between Mexico and the United States. The January 29th protesters gathered in downtown Seattle’s Westlake Plaza, where officials including Governor Jay Inslee, Mayor Ed Murray, Lieutenant Governor Cyrus Habib, U.S. Representative Pramila Jayapal, and Council member Kshama Sawant addressed the crowd.
