Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee advanced a bill that would bar the White House from blocking immigrants from entering the U.S. based on their religion. The bill is a direct response to former President Trump’s Muslim ban, an executive order signed during his first week in office in 2017, which limited visas for those from 13 countries, many with majority-Muslim populations. President Biden rescinded the ban on his first day in office, but the bill seeks to bar future presidents from taking similar action. The bill will be called the No BAN Act.

Thursday, a D.C. federal judge expressed concern that thousands of visa lottery winners affected by President Biden’s continued enforcement of Trump-era travel bans are in danger of losing their visas if he declines their request for immediate relief. According to a motion brought on behalf of the lottery winners, about 7,000 diversity visas issued by the State Dept. last September in response to a court order are set to expire, as they are valid for a maximum of six months. Attorneys for the lottery winners argue that time is of the essence, and emergency relief is the only way to ensure that their visas will be safe until Biden rescinds the bans. The judge said he will issue a decision “quickly.”

DOS issued revised guidance in response to the U.S. District Court for the District of Hawaii’s ruling on July 13, 2017, regarding the definition of “close familial relationship.” In addition to what was previously defined under U.S. government guidance as “parent (including parent-in-law), spouse, fiancé, child, adult son or daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, sibling, whether whole or half, and including step relationships,” the District Court in Hawaii ruled that “close family” in Executive Order (EO) 13780 also includes “grandparents, grandchildren, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, aunt and uncles, nephews and nieces, and cousins.”

Following a hearing yesterday, a federal judge in Hawaii granted the plaintiffs’ motion to convert the court’s temporary restraining order enjoining the government from enforcing or implementing Sections 2 and 6 of President Trump’s Executive Order 13780 nationwide to a preliminary injunction. The court concluded that the plaintiffs had met their burden of establishing a strong likelihood of success on the merits of their Establishment Clause claim, that irreparable injury was likely if the preliminary injunction was not issued, and that the balance of the equities and public interest counseled in favor of granting the requested relief.

Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson said during a press conference on Thursday that his office is filing a motion asking a federal judge in Seattle to rule that an existing injunction against Trump’s earlier travel ban order applies to parallel portions of the president’s new directive. The states of Washington and Minnesota obtained the broadest injunction against Trump’s original order last month. Oregon was formally admitted to the case on Thursday, and the attorneys general of New York and Massachusetts announced plans yesterday for their states to join the effort.

The Department of Justice indicated in a February 16, 2017 court filing that President Trump intends to rescind the January 27, 2017 Executive Order and issue a new order in its place. DOJ urged the court to “hold its consideration of the case until the President issues the new Order,” and the Ninth Circuit subsequently issued an order staying en banc proceedings, pending further order of the court. In a February 16, 2017 news conference, President Trump also stated that he plans to issue a new Executive Order on immigration next week to “protect our country.”

Trump has issued another executive order basically barring people from several Muslim countries from entering the U.S.
It is unheard of and many lawsuits have already been filed and injunctions already issued.
Meetings scheduled today with Trump cancelled due to anticipated protests.
Protests occurring all over the U.S. and the World against this ‘Muslim Ban’. The Executive Order even included Lawful Permanent Residents.
DHS stated it is in the ‘national interest’ to allow Green Card holders to ‘re-enter’ the U.S.
Trump FIRES acting attorney-general of the U.S. and vilifies a career prosecutor.
Trump essentially opens up the door and paints a target on the U.S. by extremists.
His executive actions have and will have the opposite effect than what he supposedly intended.
Trump decides not to include other Muslim countries which he seems to have ‘businesses’ conducting business.
