House Democrats Vote To End Donald Trump's Muslim Travel Ban

LOADING ERROR LOADING The Democrat-led House of Representatives passed a bill on Wednesday that would end President Donald Trump’s travel ban on several Muslim-majority countries, and ensure neither he nor any other president could do the same again. “The Trump administration has demonstrated a reckless and cruel abuse of power by issuing bans for the sole purpose of shutting out communities of color, fulfilling Trump’s signature and racist campaign promises,” said Marielena Hincapié, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center, one of the organizations that makes up the No Muslim Ban Ever coalition. “I will end the Muslim ban on day one,” the former vice president told the 3,000 attendees of the Million Muslim Votes Summit, hosted by Emgage Action, the nation’s largest Muslim American political group. “Muslim communities are the first to feel Donald Trump’s assault on Black and brown communities in this country with his vile Muslim ban,” Biden said. Last week, Trump attacked Biden for wanting to “end all travel bans, including from jihadist regions” and that reversing the ban would lead to “people that are going to come in and blow up our cities.” Years Of Revisions And Expansions Trump first signed Executive Order 13769 in January 2017 after calling for “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States” during his presidential campaign.
