Khizr Khan speaks against Trump’s Anti-Muslim Executive Order
Khizr Khan is the father of Humayun (a military man who died in Iraq defending his team from suicide bombers) and the face of resistance against Donald Trump. He stood against Trump during last year’s campaigns.
Khan registered his opposition to Trump’s travel policy while standing outside the US Capitol. He noted that the world stands behind those affected by the shift from the current immigration policy.
“The world is waiting to join us. We will boycott everything and anything Trump if this continues,” – Khizr Khan.
While delivering this he was accompanied by a number of United States legislators and civil rights activists. He asked Trump not to force them into that direction.
