Trump's Travel Ban Fuels Despair and Disgust with Politics Among Arab Americans in Michigan
- In the November election, Donald Trump was the first Republican presidential nominee since 2000 to carry Dearborn, Michigan, the largest city in the U.S. with an Arab-majority population.
- Trump’s victory came despite discontent over his new travel ban affecting citizens from 12 mainly Middle Eastern and African countries, including Yemen.
- Many Arab Americans in Michigan, particularly Yemeni communities in Dearborn, expressed shock and disappointment with the travel ban and Trump’s handling of the Gaza war.
- Critics argued that the travel restrictions unfairly targeted specific groups and punished entire communities, while activists such as Wali Altahif called for accountability, questioning, "Is this how the community that stood apart is being treated?"
- The ban’s impact fuels political dissatisfaction among Arab Americans and suggests both major parties must court this community ahead of key 2026 Michigan races.
