"Within a week of becoming president, Donald Trump issued a discriminatory travel ban targeting the Muslim community. Federal courts initially stepped in and enjoined the ban--but, unfortunately, the conservative majority on the Supreme Court upheld the ban last June."

"In a dissent, Justice Sotomayor noted that the ban was "driven primarily by anti-Muslim animus" and that "the majority opinion upends this Court's precedent, repeats tragic mistakes of the past, and denies countless individuals the fundamental right of religious liberty.""

"Sadly, we cannot rely on the Supreme Court to uphold the foundational principles of religious freedom and tolerance right now, so Congress must step in. That's why I stood with my colleagues today to introduce the #NoBanAct"

"This bill would repeal the current travel ban and prevent the president from implementing similarly broad, discriminatory travel restrictions and suspensions in the future."
