Hoyer Statement on Ruling Against President Trump's Muslim Ban
WASHINGTON, DC – House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling against President Trump's harmful Muslim ban:
“Once again, an American court has determined what we already know: that President Trump’s attempt to ban Muslims from entering this country is not only immoral but unconstitutional. The President’s proposed ban would put Americans in greater danger from terror by serving as a potent tool for radicalization and recruitment of those susceptible individuals already here in our country. We must not meet terrorism with reactive fear but with principled resolve and smart policies that make us more secure, not less. If this decision is appealed to the Supreme Court, I expect it will affirm the ruling against the ban.”
