Schakowsky Statement on President Trump's Muslim Ban 2.0

Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky released the following statement in response to President Donald Trump’s revised Muslim ban signed this morning:

“Don’t be fooled by the new packaging: President Trump is once again trying to ban Muslims and refugees from entering our country,” said Rep. Schakowsky. “Just like his first attempt, this ban erodes our country’s standing in the world and makes us less safe. Closing our borders to travelers and refugees because of their religion remains immoral and unconstitutional. President Trump’s own inner circle has admitted that their revised ban would have the ‘same basic policy outcome’ as the first. I will do everything I can to ensure that today’s executive order meets the same fate as the first – getting blocked by the courts and rebuked by the public.”
