United States

On December 7, 2015, presidential candidate Donald Trump called for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on."[1][2] His comments were condemned by several of his competitors for the Republican nomination, including Chris Christie, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and Lindsey Graham, as well as by several Republican state party chairmen, civil rights activist Ibrahim Hooper of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), and Democratic presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley.[1][2]

Executive Orders and Presidential Proclamations

  • Executive Order 13769 (January 27, 2017) – The first travel ban, which "suspended for 90 days the entry of certain aliens from seven countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen."[3][4]
  • Executive Order 13780 (March 6, 2017) – The second and revised travel ban superseding the original travel ban, which suspended travel from six countries rather than seven, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. Iraq was removed from the ban, citing "the close cooperative relationship between the United States and the democratically elected Iraqi government, the strong United States diplomatic presence in Iraq, the significant presence of United States forces in Iraq, and Iraq's commitment to combat ISIS justify different treatment for Iraq." This ban was also effective for only 90 days. It was officially revoked by President Biden in Presidential Proclamation 10141.[5]
  • Presidential Proclamation 9645 (September 24, 2017) – A third travel ban added Chad, North Korea, and Venezuela to the list of countries where foreigners from those countries would not be allowed into the United States. This also extended the ban from 90 days to indefinite, until it was revoked by President Biden in Presidential Proclamation 10141.[6]
  • Presidential Proclamation 9723 (April 10, 2018) – A proclamation removing the travel restrictions on Chad, citing how Chad had "made notable improvements" in response to the signing of Presidential Proclamation 9645. It was revoked by President Biden in Presidential Proclamation 10141.[7]
  • Presidential Proclamation 9983 (February 21, 2020) – A proclamation adding travel restrictions to Burma (Myanmar), Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Nigeria and Tanzania. As before, this travel ban was permanent until it was revoked by President Biden in Presidential Proclamation 10141. [8]

Australia

A 2016 poll found that half of all Australians wanted to ban Muslim immigration, with 49% of Australians supporting a ban.[9][10][11] In a 2017 poll of 2,000 people, 48% backed a ban, 27% were undecided, and a quarter opposed it.[12]

In 2017, Senator and One Nation leader Pauline Hanson after the London terror attack called for a Muslim immigration ban, saying "do not pray for London, pray for Muslim ban". This came one year after her maiden speech called for the same Ban.[13][14][15][16]

In 2018, Senator Fraser Anning during his maiden speech called for a plebiscite to reintroduce the White Australia Policy, especially with regard to excluding Muslims.[17] [18][19]

India

Before he became the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh in 2017, minister Yogi Adityanath praised former U.S. President Trump’s position on a Muslim immigration ban and stated that “similar action[s] [are] needed to contain terror activities in this country.”[20][21][22]

Netherlands

Geert Wilders is a prominent advocate for a ban on immigration from Muslim nations in the Netherlands.[23][24][25][26]

Russia

Long time Russian leader of Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, Vladimir Zhirinovsky has called for a ban on Muslim immigration.[27]
