We're on a press call with @JacksonLeeTX18 @RepJoeNeguse about Trump's expanded version of the Muslim ban and the ramifications for African communities. @AfricansUS @BAJItweet @MuslimAdvocates
.@JacksonLeeTX18: This new travel ban is pure discrimination. We don't intend to lay down on this ban. We'll pass the #NoBan Act in the House and see if the Senate will also uphold the Constitution.

@JacksonLeeTX18: This is intolerable, unacceptable by the Constitution, and it has no basis in national security. I look forward to fighting the African ban with every measure we have.Prikaži ovu nit -

@RepJoeNeguse: I'm the son of immigrants, my parents came from Eritrea forty years ago. For my parents to be able to immigrate, and then for me to be elected to Congress, is a testament to the American dream.Prikaži ovu nit -

@RepJoeNeguse: Trump's ban does not align with the American values that we've upheld for centuries. This policy would separate families and institutionalize Islamophobia. That Eritrea is reportedly included in the new travel ban hits home.Prikaži ovu nit -

@RepJoeNeguse: Immigrants are integral parts of each of our communities. It's un-American to discriminate against immigrants just bc of where they come from, or how they pray. There's an urgency on this issue, and I'll continue to bring that to the table.Prikaži ovu nit -

@AmahaKassa,@AfricansUS: Why are Africans being singled out for different and worse treatment? The fact that we have to guess at the WH's motives, the fact that there is no clear security rationale, is why the ban should be struck down as illegal.Prikaži ovu nit -

@AmahaKassa,@AfricansUS: The WH has gone after African communities by going after the diversity visa, stripping immigrants of TPS, escalating enforcement in our communities. This ban is a continuation of their ongoing xenophobia.Prikaži ovu nit -

@AmahaKassa,@AfricansUS: As Africans, we are not unfamiliar w/ heads of state who consider themselves to be above the law, and use tribalism to turn communities against each other. We don't sit quietly when it happens in our homeland, or in our new home in the US.Prikaži ovu nit
