The hashtag #nobanowall soon became related to others:

• #noTrump: This hashtag also became very popular on social media platforms and was used by protesters who criticized Trump's policies.
• #GrandparentsNotTerrorists: President Trump's travel ban was planned to suspend the issuance of visas to refugees and citizens of North Korea, Venezuela, Libya, Iran, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. However, it was stated that refugees or citizens of these countries who have a "bona fide relationship" with a person in the US would be exempt from this ban.{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40455303|title=Trump travel ban: Who counts as family?|date=July 14, 2017|access-date=2019-04-30|language=en-GB}} This meant that grandparents, grandchildren, aunts and uncles were not exempt of the travel ban.
