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. Trump executive order banning refugees incites debate, action Local refugee resettlement groups speak out against proposed federal policy ANDREW HIYAMA Daily Staff Reporter 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. - CALEB CHADWELL ON THE DAILY: AROUND THE MITTEN IN 180 YEARS KEVIN ZHENG/Daily Visiting Professor for Cultural Studies Helmut Lethen gives the 16th annu- al Werner Grilk Lecture in German Studies: Amsterdam 1964, or, Magical Thinking in Cultural Studies at Rackham on Thursday.
