Since leaving the white house on the 20th of January, Immediate former president Barack Obama has now made his first public statement criticizing his successors recent travel ban, describing it as ‘Heartened’.

On Monday, he kicked against President Donald Trump’s ban on 7 Muslim-majority countries. Trump had on Friday banned seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States for the next 90 days and suspended the admission of all refugees. The former president is however happy that Americans are standing up to protest the ban.

He made the statement through a spokesman that he is “heartened by the level of engagement” over the weekend in opposition to the action. This may not be surprising considering the opposition the former president had over Trump’s candidacy prior to the general elections.
