Schakowsky Statement on Nationwide Ruling against President Trump's Muslim Ban

Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky issued the following statement after a Republican-appointed judge ordered a national halt to the President’s Muslim ban.

“President Trump’s Muslim ban is immoral, unconstitutional, and dangerous to our national security. Since it was ordered, the ban has been rebuked by thousands of protestors across the country, Democratic lawmakers, experts in law and national security, and now a Republican-appointed federal district court judge. I am very pleased that this hold has been ordered, and hope that it will allow the many men, women, and children previously affected by this order to reach our nation of immigrants. Although this is a great step toward undoing this unconstitutional order, our work is not done yet. I am committed to keeping America’s doors open, and will continue to work hard to make sure this cruel and un-American Executive Order is permanently rescinded in its entirety.”
