President Donald Trump is getting one step closer to fulfilling his controversial Muslim ban with an executive order that will restrict Muslim immigration and deny visas to people from countries his administration deems high-risk.

The document, which could still be amended before its signed , targets citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries: Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen and Iran.

Americans across the country responded to Trumps plans with a #NoBanNoWall campaign on social media . Hundreds more took to the streets of Washington Square Park in New York City to protest the ban.

Protests aide, the news has alarmed the Muslim community , and many are now wondering how the proposed order will directly affect them.

Civil rights organizations and Muslim lawyers have been sending out mass text messages and emails urging Muslims to speak to a lawyer so that they understand their legal rights.

Many people dont know what to do when confronted by law enforcement, said Zahra Billoo, a civil rights lawyer and the executive director of the San Francisco office for the Council of American-Islamic Relations . We want to get the baseline out and encourage people to get individualized consultations.

CAIR is one of a number of legal organizations working to equip Muslims with information about their legal status and constitutional rights. The Creating Law Enforcement Accountability & Responsibility project, also known as CLEAR, is another resource that emerged after Sept. 11, 2001 to provide legal services and address law enforcement policies and practices that target Muslims.

With the support of the City University of New York School of Law, CLEAR launched the 100 Days of Rights Campaign, which hosts a Know Your Rights workshop for the first 100 days of Trumps presidency. The program provides resources, training and free consultations to any community that requests it. It focuses on four topics : how to exercise ones rights during police encounters, knowing ones rights while traveling, concerns about informants in the community, and how to donate to charities amid complex federal laws.

Nermeen Arastu, a clinical law professor at CUNY School of Law and a lawyer with the CLEAR project, emphasizes how important it is for Muslim communities and other immigrant communities to understand their rights at all times.

Muslim communities, as [well as] many other immigrant communities and communities of color, are especially vulnerable because of their immigration status, Arastu said.
