Following the federal government’s filing of an appeal to the Supreme Court to uphold President Trump’s Muslim ban, Margaret Huang, Amnesty International USA executive director, released the following statement:
“After several rulings against it, the Trump Administration needs to take the hint and drop all defenses of this discriminatory ban. There is no need to prolong the uncertainty of millions of people who fear that they won’t be welcome, or won’t be able to visit a relative abroad, or to return to a country they call home. If they won’t drop their appeals, then Congress must step in and end this unlawful and inhumane ban immediately.”
