Trump Policy: Fight Pits and Target Muslims

trump policy: The legal fight pits the president's significant authority over immigration against what lower courts have said is a policy that purported to be about national security but was intended to target Muslims, according to Brandon Sun. The Justice Department is confident that President Trump's executive order is well within his lawful authority to keep the nation safe and protect our communities from terrorism, spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores said. The Justice Department filing to the high court late Thursday argued that lower courts that blocked the Trump policy made several mistakes, including relying on statements President Donald Trump made during the 2016 campaign. The president is not required to admit people from countries that sponsor or shelter terrorism, until he determines that they can be properly vetted and do not pose a security risk to the United States. Again and again, our nation's courts have found that President Trump's Muslim ban is unconstitutional. Rights groups that have been fighting the policy in the courts said the justices should not allow the travel and refugee bans to take effect. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
