Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. on Monday evening said he might protest President Trump’s revised travel ban again at a Chicago airport where he demonstrated nearly five weeks ago.
“Modified or not, President Trump’s new executive order banning travel to the U.S. from six largely Muslim countries is discriminatory and falls far short of what we stand for. It is un-American,” Jackson said in a statement. “I proudly joined the protests at O’Hare International Airport. If necessary, I will do so again.”

Jackson, who leads the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, blasted Trump’s Monday changes to the original order against seven countries as still being an “internal attack on our national character and security.”
Earlier Monday, Trump signed a new order that excludes Iraqi citizens, legal permanent residents and existing visa holders from a list of six countries in the Middle East and North Africa from entering for 90 days, starting March 16.
