Hoyer Statement on Legislation to End President Trump’s Muslim Ban
WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement tonight after Democrats introduced legislation to end President Trump's Muslim ban:
“I’m proud to join Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security Ranking Member Zoe Lofgren, Judiciary Committee Ranking Member John Conyers, and more than 160 House Democrats as a cosponsor of legislation to end the Trump Administration’s dangerous Muslim ban. His executive order puts our country at increased risk from terrorism and threatens the safety of our troops overseas. It represents the worst of America, not the best for which those who serve in government ought to strive. I call on House Republicans who believe strongly in the Constitutional principles of this country and understand how counterproductive these steps are to join us in sending a powerful message to the new Administration that it must not weaken our security or trample on the values that truly make America great.”
