Schumer Statement on President Trump’s New Travel Ban

Washington, D.C. – Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today released the statement below in response to President Trump’s new travel ban:

“A watered down ban is still a ban. Despite the Administration’s changes, this  dangerous executive order makes us less safe, not more, it is mean-spirited, and un-American.  It must be repealed.

Delaying its announcement so the President could bask in the aftermath of his joint address is all the proof Americans need to know that this has absolutely nothing to do with national security. Despite their best efforts, I fully expect this executive order to have the same uphill climb in the courts that the previous version had.”
