Statement From Attorney General Barbara D. Underwood On Travel Ban Decision

“​President Trump’s travel bans are a stain on American history that were rooted in deep anti-Muslim animus and unleashed chaos on families, businesses, institutions, and communities throughout New York. Despite today's ruling, New York will continue to serve as a beacon to the world, welcoming people of all faiths, races, nationalities, and backgrounds.

I’m proud of our work to successfully beat back President Trump’s first two discriminatory bans. My office won’t hesitate to act to protect New York’s families and ensure that we live up to the values on which this state and this nation were built.”​

I don’t know if the court’s assistants read this page, but I just wrote a message to the effect that the Roberts court had removed any doubt as to whether it is a partisan Republican Party supporter. I went on to say that their recent decisions undermined voting rights, supported gerrymandering, gave religious people the right to discriminate against anyone who doesn’t live as they think they should live, allowed unlicensed zealots to practice fake medicine and possibly jeopardizing women’s lives, and gave the president the license to use national security as an excuse for any policy he wants to enforce against minorities and non-Christians.
