<![CDATA[The research aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the Muslim ban and its impacts on Muslim minority groups in the United States. Using a historical research methodology that includes heuristics, source verification, interpretation, and historiography, the study collects data through library research. Primary sources consist of archival materials and Donald Trump’s speeches accessed via the Internet Archive and YouTube; secondary sources include books, journals, articles, and undergraduate theses from library collections. Sources were evaluated for credibility, synthesized with relevant historical facts and theoretical perspectives to broaden understanding, and finally organized into a systematic presentation for readers. The study concludes that the Muslim ban was a highly contentious policy lacking principles of justice, and it exacerbated conflicts such as increased Islamophobia. Native-born American converts to Islam were also vulnerable to social, psychological, and political consequences. The policy should not be continued, as it risks generating ongoing and deepening problems. This paper additionally addresses impacts that have received less attention in prior research, including effects on mental health, family relationships and harmony, and reduced educational and employment opportunities. Keyword: Muslim Ban, Public Policy, Religious Discrimination. ]]>
