U.S. Senator is Coons and Congresswoman Judy Chu introduced legislation Wednesday to end President Donald Trump's ban on immigration from five Muslim-majority countries.
The No Ban Act expands anti-discrimination immigration protections, explicitly adding religion to the Immigration & Nationality Act’s protections, and curtails the presidential authority to issue blanket restrictions.
It is unclear when the companion bills will be taken up in the House and Senate, but Coons said it is aimed at preventing the president and future presidents from instituting a religion-based ban.
