(Hill) Democratic lawmakers joined faith and civil rights leaders on Monday to rally in support of legislation that would overturn President Trump’s travel ban, a move that comes as the administration prepares to expand restrictions to other countries.
Monday marked the third anniversary of Trump signing orders during his first week in office to suspend immigration from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia — all predominantly Muslim countries.
Congressional Democrats are calling for passage of the National Origin-Based Antidiscrimination for Nonimmigrants Act, or NO BAN Act, that was introduced last year.
The bill would limit presidential power to impose travel restrictions on citizens from other countries entering the United States.
