Last week, President Donald Trump extended his travel ban to include six new countries — Nigeria, Myanmar, Eritrea, Sudan, Tanzania, and Kyrgyzstan. Unsurprisingly, like the seven countries affected by the original 2017 ban, all six have significant Muslim populations. Two years ago, Foreign Policy obtained a copy of a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) draft report that recommended increasing surveillance not only of Muslims attempting to enter the United States, but also of Muslim immigrants who are already legal residents, identifying risk factors such as “having national origins in the Middle East, South Asia, or Africa.”

It’s no secret that the Trump administration is openly hostile to immigrants, minorities, and Muslims in America and abroad. But while the Democratic Party has been quick to speak out against Trump’s most egregious acts of xenophobia and racism, the party’s leaders have gone along with Trump on key “national security” legislation that has come under fire from Muslim Americans. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, for example, have continued to speak platitudes in defense of Muslims while approving Trump’s sanctions on Iran, which have proven devastating to average Iranians, and extending the PATRIOT Act, infamously used to surveil mass numbers of Muslim Americans.

According to a 2017 Pew Research Center poll, most Muslim Americans lean toward the Democratic Party, but they’re also twice as likely as other Americans to lean toward neither political party. Significant shares of Muslim Democrats, like their Republican counterparts, are critical of the way both parties treat Muslims. While Muslims are under attack by the Trump administration and face deepening bigotry, discrimination, and racial profiling, the Democratic Party has taken Muslim voters for granted or not even considered them at all.
