As Trump Administration Prepares Revamped Muslim Ban, Rep. Chu, Sen. Coons Reintroduce Bill to Prevent Presidents from Enacting Religious Travel Bans
Feb. 5, 2025

"Rep. Judy Chu (CA-28) and Sen. Chris Coons (DE) reintroduced the National Origin-Based Antidiscrimination for Nonimmigrants (NO BAN) Act, which would prevent future bans by the Trump administration on people of Islamic faith, or any other religious group, by strengthening the Immigration and Nationality Act to prohibit discrimination based on religion. The bill would also require that any suspension of entry into the United States be narrowly tailored, backed by credible evidence, and subject to appropriate consultation with Congress. In the House, the bill is co-led by Reps. Nadler (NY-12), Don Beyer (VA-08), Ilhan Omar (MN-05), André Carson (IN-07), and Rashida Tlaib (MI-12)."

To Prevent Future Presidents from Enacting Muslim Bans, Rep. Chu & Sen. Coons Lead Colleagues to Reintroduce NO BAN Act
Aug. 7, 2024

"Today, Rep. Judy Chu (CA-28) and Sen. Chris Coons (DE) led a bicameral partnership of their Democratic colleagues to introduce H.R. 9244,  the National Origin-Based Antidiscrimination for Nonimmigrants (NO BAN) Act—legislation that will prevent future Muslim bans. The NO BAN Act will strengthen the Immigration and Nationality Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of religion, and restore checks and balances by limiting overly broad executive authority to issue future travel bans."

Rep. Don Beyer, Rep. Judy Chu, Sen. Chris Coons
