(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said on Wednesday she is prepared to "register as Muslim" in solidarity amid reports that President Trump plans to take executive action affecting immigrants to the United States, The Hill reported.
"I was raised Catholic, became Episcopalian & found out later my family was Jewish. I stand ready to register as Muslim in #solidarity," Albright tweeted.
During his presidential campaign, Trump called for a temporary ban on Muslims coming into the U.S. and said he would "absolutely" require Muslims in the country to register in a database.
Albright's tweets came amid reports this week that Trump was expected to sign executive orders including a temporary ban on most refugees and suspending visas for foreign nationals from seven countries.
