(MENAFN) As part of a nation-wide rally on Friday, hundreds of Yemeni Americans, immigrants, refugees and activists who wanted to show their support, condemned President Donald Trump's latest travel ban, dubbed Muslim Ban 2.0, on citizens from six predominantly Muslim nations.
"Prophet Mohammed himself was an immigrant," Dr Hatem Bazian, a local imam told a crowd of worshipers preparing for Friday prayers in front of San Francisco's City Hall, an event organized as part of their protest.
"If he had lived in this day and age, he wouldn't have been able to travel to this country, because of President Trump's Islamophobic policies," Bazian said.
The congregation of more than 200 men nodded in agreement. Most of them have been affected directly or indirectly by Trump's previous ban and are expecting similar disastrous results with the recent one, slated to come into effect on Thursday.
