Durbin Statement On New Trump Travel Ban

Statement

Date: March 6, 2017
Location: Chicago, IL
Issues: Immigration

Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), Ranking Member of the Senate Immigration Subcommittee, released the following statement after President Trump signed a revised executive order banning travel from certain Muslim-majority countries and all refugees.

"No amount of relabeling will change the fact that President Trump's travel ban is unconstitutional and un-American. Wasting taxpayer dollars and unnecessarily inflicting pain on innocent families isn't going to change that. Trump's executive order plays directly into our enemies' hands and makes America less safe. Trump's first travel ban was blocked by multiple federal courts, and his latest will no doubt face the same fate."
