The group will form a human chain and will march to the downtown Trump Hotel, and the headquarters of the US Customs and Border Protection.

WASHINGTON (TIP): The South Asian American advocacy organization SAALT will hold a mass protest in front of the White House on January 27, the first year anniversary of Trump’s Executive Order 13769 that bans Muslims/Refugees from entering the United States.

The organization said that members of SAALT and its allies will form a human chain during the Islamic mid-day prayer on January 27^th and will march to the downtown Trump Hotel, owned by the president’s family, and the headquarters of the US Customs and Border Protection.

“DC friends, this Saturday, 1/27, on the one-year anniversary of the #MuslimBan, join SAALT and our allies for a mass mobilization in front of the White House to say in one unified voice, #NoMuslimBanEver,” tweeted SAALT through its official handle.

Trump passed the Executive Order 13769, titled “Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States,” which later came to be known as the Muslim ban.

The travel ban was introduced within days of Trump’ swearing in as the president. The administration later tweaked the order to include more countries. Citizens from eight countries — Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela, Somalia, and Yemen — are now banned from entering the United States for 90 days.

Faith leaders, members of the Muslim-American community, refugees and advocates who expressed opposition to Trump’s Muslim ban are also expected to gather for Saturday’s mass protest in front of White House.
