Rep. Ruben Gallego Statement on Supreme Court Decision on Trump’s Muslim Ban
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) released the following statement on the Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling in Trump v. Hawaii, upholding President Trump's Muslim ban:
"The Supreme Court's decision to uphold President Trump's Muslim ban is a disappointing and dangerous outcome that undermines our core values of religious liberty and inclusion.
"Trump's Muslim ban casts a wide net of bigotry across an entire region, endangering people who are fleeing terrorism and fueling the recruitment and propaganda machines of groups like ISIS. It will keep families apart, and does nothing to make our country safer.
"The decision to uphold this blatant discrimination will be looked back on by future generations with shame. Congress must work together to stop President Trump from continuing to drive this country further down the path of injustice and intolerance."
