‘Dangerous’ Grandparents Photos Unravel Trump’s Travel Ban
People are taking to social media to show pictures of their “dangerous” grandparents after the Supreme Court allowed a limited version of Trump’s travel ban.
The travel ban will block many travelers from six predominantly Muslim countries from entering the U.S. for 90 days, including Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
The Supreme Court order allows nationals from the six listed countries to enter the country if they have a “bona fide” relationship to a person in the U.S.
Trump is defining that to mean a parent, spouse, child, adult son or daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law or sibling — but not grandparents, grandchildren, cousins or other extended family.
So the trend #GrandparentsNotTerrorists has grown to show just how scary these grandparents are:

She raised my mom, but under the latest #MuslimBan, she's still not considered my close family. #GrandparentsNotTerrorists pic.twitter.com/OOrDZnMNwj
