Chairman Crowley on Ninth Circuit Decision to Block President Trump’s Unconstitutional Muslim Travel Ban

(Queens, NY) – House Democratic Caucus Chairman Joe Crowley (D-NY) issued the following statement after a three-judge panel from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals turned down a request from the Trump administration to lift an injunction on their Muslim travel ban:

“The Muslim travel ban is a disastrous policy that has undermined America’s global standing and put at risk our security since it was first proposed. Today, the Ninth Circuit ruling confirms, once more, that the ban is unconstitutional and un-American. Our country has always been one that welcomes individuals regardless of their religion, background, or ethnicity. I’m glad to see that those American values are continuing to be upheld by our judicial system.”
