Rather, it was to assuage the political motives and religious biases of some within the country. “Courts were justifiably skeptical of the idea that legitimate national security considerations, as opposed to religious biases or political motives, drove the first version of the travel ban.” (University) This is not progress and feels like a step back from the efforts made to create equality in recent years.
