Maloney Co-Sponsors Bill to End Trump's Muslim Ban

Statement

Date: Jan. 30, 2017
Location: Washington, DC

After President Donald Trump signed an executive order on refugees, also known as the "Muslim ban," Representative Sean Patrick Maloney (NY-18) joined over 160 House Democrats in introducing the Statue of Liberty Values Act (SOLVE), which would defund and effectively end implementation of the executive order.

"President Trump went on and on for a year about creating a Muslim ban, and that's all this is. Stopping terrorists from coming to our country is a great idea, but that's not what this does. It hurts the guys who helped us in Iraq and innocent people who just want to be reunited with their families. This whole mess shows me that Trump is winging it."
