Following the Supreme Court’s decision to allow President Trump’s travel ban to go into full effect, Ashley Houghton, tactical campaigns manager at Amnesty International USA, released the following statement:
“This ban has always been, at its core, deeply cruel and discriminatory. It goes against our shared American values of dignity and equality for everyone, no matter where you come from or how you worship. Rather than keep anyone safe, the travel ban has caused chaos and instability for thousands of people people who just want to travel without fear and be reunited with their families.”
