Trump Administration: Ban and Barack Obama

trump administration: The Trump administration argued that the ban was intended to protect the United States from terrorism, according to Globe and Mail. In Greenbelt, Maryland, U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang who was appointed by then-president Barack Obama called Trump's own statements about barring Muslims from entering the United States highly relevant. Trump vows to appeal rulings blocking travel ban Reuters The rulings in Hawaii late Wednesday and in Maryland early Thursday were victories for civil liberties groups and advocates for immigrants and refugees, who argued that a temporary ban on travel from six predominantly Muslim countries violated the First Amendment. The second executive order removed a preference for religious minorities from the affected countries, among other changes that the Justice Department argued would address the legal concerns surrounding the first ban, which was also blocked in court. The initial ban sparked chaos at U.S. airports and widespread criticism around the world when it was signed in January. Despite these changes, the history of public statements continues to provide a convincing case that the purpose of the Second Executive Order remains the realization of the long-envisioned Muslim ban, Chuang said.
