Jayapal Demands Answers from Trump Administration on Treatment of Immigrants
March 11, 2025
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)."

Rep. Ilhan Omar Reintroduces the Neighbors Not Enemies Act to Repeal Alien Enemies Act
Jan. 22, 2025

"Today, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) reintroduced the Neighbors Not Enemies Act, legislation to fully repeal the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 (AEA). Part of the "Alien and Sedition Acts," the AEA is the only remaining law from this deeply problematic set of statutes that targeted immigrants under the guise of national security. While the other three acts have expired or been repealed, the AEA remains in effect, granting sweeping powers to the president to detain or deport foreign nationals from a specific country."

Sen. Mazie Hirono, Rep. Ilhan Omar
