An Iraqi graffiti artist has taken to the streets of the southern city of Basra to protest U.S. President Donald Trump's ban on visitors from seven Muslim-Majority countries. The ban was blocked Friday by a U.S. federal judge and while Trump denounced the judge and vowed to overturn the ruling, his government has so far complied. "My message to Trump is that Iraqis are not terrorists," al-Bahadli told The Associated Press, "I hope he will please reconsider his decision." Last week Iraq's parliament called for reciprocity measures that would ban Americans from entering Iraq. Al-Bahadli said he'll continue to paint until his message is received by the U.S. administration and the new U.S. president.
