"The mounting anxiety over another travel ban comes during?the holy month of Ramadan,?when more Muslims are attending congregational prayers. Zahra Billoo, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations of the San Francisco Bay Area, and her colleagues have been visiting mosques nightly to inform people about the risks facing Muslims under the Trump administration. “And every single night, I have been approached by one or more people asking about the safety of their upcoming travel,” she said, adding that CAIR is advising people to pause international travel plans for 30 days until the outlines of a travel ban become clear and encouraging visa holders outside the country to return as soon as possible."
