Kamala Mohsen, the CEO of the New York-based Association of Islamic Organizations of America, said the mosque’s members had been invited to participate in the event. She did not know whether there would be additional mosques invited to attend.

The Muslim Student Association of the University of California at Davis said last month it supports the resolution and that it hopes other universities will follow the resolution.

A similar resolution was approved by the national association of Islamic societies in March.

President Trump’s executive order temporarily bans entry to the United States from seven predominantly Muslim nations, including Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Somalia and Syria. After a brief refugee freeze, the order is now in effect.

The White House has said it wants to develop a “much more robust vetting of applicants” than the refugee process. Critics of the order say it may not be in the national security interest of the United States to admit refugees from terrorist countries.

At least five people who have been detained at airports have alleged that they were mistreated. One man who said he was released from custody was reportedly held for 90 minutes and then placed under arrest. Officials of the airport and government agencies have denied that the situation was anything other than routine.
