The travel ban instantiated a broader structural Islamophobia tying Muslim identity to terror suspicion

Evidence

The Muslim ban passed by Trump on Friday, January 27, 2017, impacted scores of Muslim immigrants and their family members. But it was more than just a stand-alone policy that wrought mayhem in American airports, broke up families, and formally ushered in a heightened form of structural Islamophobia. It also foreshadowed what was to come with this new administration—a form of Islamophobia that would be common and continuous, enforced in new laws and policies. The ban was part and parcel of a broader, stark Islamophobic vision that tied Muslim identity directly to terror suspicion. — Khaled A. Beydoun, American Islamophobia_ Understanding…, 469
