Dia berjanji akan mencabut larangan perjalanan yang diterapkan Trump itu dari 13 negara, yang mayoritas berpenduduk Muslim ataupun berkebangsaan Afrika. Melansir Aljazeera, Minggu (8/11/2020) pada Oktober lalu Biden sempat berjanji untuk mendorong para politisi pembuat UU untuk memerangi meningkatnya kejahatan rasial di AS. "Sebagai presiden, kelak saya akan bekerja sama dengan Anda untuk mengoyak racun kebencian dari masyarakat kita agar bisa menghormati kontribusi Anda untuk mencari gagasan-gagasan Anda. Pemerintahan saya akan hadir sebagai Amerika dengan Muslim Amerika melayani di setiap tingkatan," ujar Biden. Dia juga menambahkan janjinya, "Di hari pertama (menjabat) saya akan mengakhiri aturan inkonstitusional Trump yang melarang Muslim."

Janji-janji Biden untuk komunitas Muslim Melalui situs Joe Biden, berikut ini beberapa program yang akan dilakukan Biden terhadap komunitas Muslim AS dan dunia. 1. Mengakhiri larangan perjalanan negara mayoritas muslim di hari pertama menjabat. 2. Memerintahkan Departemen Kehakiman untuk fokus menambahkan sumber daya dalam memerangi kejahatan rasial berbasis agama. 3. Memastikan berbagai suara Muslim-Amerika didengar di pemerintahan Biden. 4. Memperluas layanan perawatan kesehatan untuk Muslim Amerika terlepas dari pendapatan ataupun ras mereka. 5. Melakukan investasi dalam mobilitas perekonomian Muslim Amerika dengan meningkatkan upah minimum federal sebanyak 15 dollar AS, memperkuat sektor publik dan swasta serta mengatasi kesenjangan pendapatan. 6. Mengecam pelanggaran hak asasi manusia (HAM) secara global termasuk terhadap Muslim Uyghur di China dan Muslim Rohingya di Burma. Selama masa kampanye pemilihan, Trump selalu menuduh Biden yang ingin mengakhiri semua larangan terhadap muslim termasuk dari wilayah ekstremis, ingin 'memasukkan orang yang akan berbuat teror' kepada AS.

Pihak CAIR berharap Biden akan menepati janji-janji kampanyenya. Direktur Eksekutif Nasional CAIR Nihad Awad mengatakan, " Presiden terpilih Biden telah berjanji untuk mengakhiri larangan terhadap muslim pada hari pertamanya menjabat, termasuk (adanya) muslim di tiap tingkat pemerintahannya dan mengatasi masalah diskriminasi rasial juga agama." Menurut Awad, organisasinya akan bergabung dengan organisasi muslim AS lain untuk memastikan janji-janji itu terimplementasi di masa pemerintahan Biden. Sebelumnya, pada tahun 2017 ketika Trump pertama kali menjabat sebagai presiden, Trump langsung membuat larangan perjalanan untuk 7 negara dengan mayoritas muslim untuk masuk ke Amerika Serikat. Larangan itu bisa dengan mudah dicabut atau dibatalkan karena keluar atas perintah eksekutif presiden. Namun, menurut para ahli kebijakan, tuntutan hukum dari kaum konservatif dapat menunda adanya proses pencabutan tersebut. Tak hanya karena beragama mayoritas Islam, beberapa negara juga terkena larangan perjalanan karena diskriminasi rasial dan kepentingan. Beberapa negara yang sudah terkena larangan perjalanan di antaranya Iran, Libya, Somalia, Suriah, Yaman, Venezuela, Korea Utara, Nigeria, Sudan, Myanmar, Kyrgyzstan, Tanzania, dan Eritrea.

(Website screengrab https://joebiden.com/muslims/) Author Miranti Kencana Wirawan | Miranti Kencana Editor Wirawan WILMINGTON, KOMPAS.com - President of the United States (US) elected Joe Biden promised to immediately lift the travel ban imposed by the administration of US President Donald Trump on his first day in office. He promised to lift Trump's travel ban from 13 countries, both predominantly Muslim and African. Launching Aljazeera, Sunday (8/11/2020) in October, Biden promised to encourage law-making politicians to combat the increase in hate crimes in the US. "As president, I will work with you to tear the poison of hatred out of our society so that it can honor your contribution to your pursuit of your ideas. My government will be present as America with Muslim Americans serving at every level," said Biden. He also added to his promise, "On my first day (in office) I will end Trump's unconstitutional rule against Muslims."

Biden's promises to the Muslim community Through the Joe Biden website, here are some of the programs that Biden will carry out for the US Muslim community and the world. 1. End the travel ban for Muslim majority countries on their first day in office. 2. Order the Ministry of Justice to focus on adding resources in fighting religious-based hate crimes. 3. Ensure that various Muslim-American voices are heard in the Biden administration. 4. Extend health care services to Muslim Americans regardless of their income or race. 5. Invest in the mobility of the Muslim American economy by increasing the federal minimum wage by US $ 15, strengthening the public and private sectors and filling income gaps. 6. Condemn the violations of human rights (HAM) globally including against Uyghur Muslims in China and Muslim Rohingya in Burma. During the election campaign period, Trump always accused Biden, who wanted to end all prohibitions against Muslims, including those from extremist areas, of wanting to "bring in people who would commit terror" to the US.

CAIR hopes that Biden will keep his campaign promises. CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said, "President-elect Biden has promised to end the ban on Muslims on his first day in office, including (the existence) of Muslims at every level of his government and tackle the issue of racial as well as religious discrimination." According to Awad, his organization will join forces with other US Muslim organizations to ensure the promises are implemented during the Biden administration. Previously, in 2017 when Trump first served as president, Trump immediately made travel bans for 7 Muslim-majority countries entering the United States. The ban could easily be lifted or overturned as it was issued by the executive order of the president. However, according to policy experts, lawsuits from conservatives could delay the repeal process. Not only because they are predominantly Muslim, several countries are also subject to travel bans due to racial and interest discrimination. Some of the countries that have been hit by the travel ban include Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Venezuela, North Korea, Nigeria, Sudan, Myanmar, Kyrgyzstan, Tanzania, and Eritrea.
