Mass Muslim-led labor strikes forced courts to block the ban.

Evidence

In response to litigation challenging the legality of the Muslim Ban, Trump issued a revised executive order in March that reiterated the national security justifications, removed some countries, and narrowed its application to exclude only nonimmigrants applying for a visa. However, courts rejected the revised version because Trump’s anti-Muslim statements during his presidential campaign, coupled with his advisers’ admissions, demonstrated that his intent was not to protect the nation from security threats but rather to exclude Muslims from the United States. — Sahar F.
