Massachusetts state joins legal effort against Trump
[Iran Press TV] The US state of Massachusetts is taking part in a legal battle against President Donald Trump...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ’s Moslem ban. Attorney General Maura Healey said Tuesday that the state was both joining a federal lawsuit filed Friday and filing its own lawsuit against the ban. Trump issued an executive order late Friday to impose a 90-day entry ban on citizens from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Libya and Somalia, block refugees from Syria indefinitely, and suspend all refugee admissions for 120 days. "During his campaign, President Trump called for a 'complete shutdown on Moslems entering the US.' On Friday he acted to make good on that promise," Healey told news hounds at her office in Massachusetts’ capital, Boston. "Over the past three days my office has closely reviewed the language of the order and its many impacts ... the executive order is harmful, discriminatory and unconstitutional. It discriminates on the basis of religion and national origin." Posted by: Fred 2017-02-01 |
