President
Donald
Trump

recently announced his plan to
enact a wide-ranging ban on
refugees entering the United
States, according to a draft of his
executive orderobtained by The
New York Times.

The order, which Trump is

expected to sign soon, would
place a ban on all refugees for at
least 120 days, with an indefinite
ban
on
those
from
Syria.

Additionally, the executive order
instills a complete 30-day freeze
on all immigration –– regardless
of refugee status –– from the
predominantly Muslim countries
of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia,
Sudan, Syria and Yemen. After
the 120 days are up, an extension
of the order notwithstanding,
the
refugee
program
would

shrink the number of refugees

allowed into the United States
from 110,000 refugees per year to
50,000.

In response to news of the

expected ban, the Michigan
Refugee Assistance Program, a
University of Michigan student
organization created this year,
issued a Facebook postopposing
the order. The post, which stated
that the order “risks repeating
mistakes of the past when the
United States tragically turned
away Jewish refugees in World
War II,” included a link to a
document providing information
on how to contact lawmakers and
newspapers in order to oppose
the ban.

College Republicans president

Enrique Zalamea, an LSA junior,
hailed the speed of Trump’s
executive orders.

“Its so rare to see such action

happening so quickly, and I’m
really glad to see real changes

occurring,” he said. “ I know
right now the vetting process is
already pretty strict, but just to
create those additional firewalls
is always welcome when you’re
talking
about
our
national

security.”

Rackham
student
Andrea

Gillespie,
an
education
and

advocacy co-chair for MRAP,
warned against the politicization
of the refugee crisis.

“We don’t see this as a partisan

issue,” she said. “What we see is
a dangerous political climate and
an issue of human dignity. And
I think now more than ever in
this current climate we have to
remain active and vigilant, and
make sure that we’re having our
voices heard and that refugees’
voices are heard.”

Although most of its work has

revolved around assisting already-
resettled refugees, Gillespie said
in light of the expected refugee

ban, MRAP would be taking
a more advocacy-based role,
trying to keep the resettlement
process alive.

“We feel like now more

than ever is when we need
to be advocates in a social
space
for
refugees,
and

that
includes
contacting

every single representative
that we can, calling the
White
House,
talking
to

the State Department, who
runs
refugee
resettlement

programs,” Gillespie said. “I
think that we were walking
a tight line before and I think
now that line is essentially
blurred with the comments
coming out, the potential ban
on Muslim refugees, especially
considering
the
fact
that

Michigan itself has such a
strong attachment to refugee
resettlement and all of the
benefits that come from it.”

In November 2015, following

the Paris terrorist attacks in
which 129 were killed.

The University of Michigan

isn’t the only one celebrating a

milestone birthday this year:

The state of Michigan also

marked the 180th anniversary

of its admission to the United

States on Thursday.

According to a historical

marker outside the present-

day courthouse on East Huron

Street, Ann Arbor played an

important role in Michigan’s

statehood when a convention in

1836 at the Washtenaw County

courthouse met to discuss a

proposal from Congress to

resolve a dispute between

Michigan and Ohio about

border territory.

“Both (Michigan and Ohio)

claimed a narrow strip of land,

including the present city of

Toledo,” the marker states.

“Congress proposed giving

the greater part of the Upper

Peninsula to Michigan, while

awarding the ‘Toledo Strip’ to

Ohio.”

Once the dispute was

resolved and supported at

the convention, it cleared the

way for the Congressional

bill and then-President

Andrew Jackson’s signing of

the bill making the roughly

200,000-person territory the

26th state in the Union.

After this landmark

decision, Ann Arbor further

cemented its location as

one of importance when the

University also moved from

Detroit in 1837. The first

students enrolled in 1841 and

the University started that year

with a total of seven students.

After 180 years of

statehood, Michigan now has a

population of 9.9 million people

and the University has grown

to encompass about 51,000

students between its Ann

Arbor, Dearborn and Flint

campuses, a vast growth since

its humble beginnings in 1837.
