Human Rights Organizations announced Friday they are Suing the Trump Administration over the latest Version of the President's Controversial Travel Ban, continuing a long-running Legal Battle over the Restrictions. The Lawsuits claim the latest set of Travel Restrictions that Limit Entry to the U.S. for Certain Foreign Nationals from Eight Countries, issued in late September to Replace a previous Temporary Travel Ban, is Unconstitutional.
The New Travel Ban Forbids Citizens of Seven Countries from Travelling to the United States, citing National Security reasons. Under the Ban, Citizens of Yemen, Syria, Libya, Iran, Somalia, North Korea, and Chad are all Prohibited from entering the U.S. Also Suspended are certain Venezuelan Government Officials and their Families, due to what the U.S. called Poor Security and a Lack of Cooperation with American Authorities.
At the forefront of the Challenge is the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which along with Partner Organizations submitted a Letter to the U.S. District Court in Maryland seeking to Amend an Existing Lawsuit they already Filed. One of the Partners, the Advocacy Group Iranian Alliances Across Borders represent Six Lawful Permanent U.S. Residents.
The New Ban "is still a Muslim ban at its core, and it certainly engages in discrimination based on national origin, which is unlawful," ACLU Director Anthony Romero said Friday. "Adding a few North Koreans and a tiny group of Venezuelan officials doesn’t paper over the original sin of the Muslim ban. We'll see President Trump in court — again," he added.
The Second Version of the Travel Ban was the Subject of numerous Court Battles, and was poised for Examination by the Supreme Court in Washington on October 10th. But the Court Cancelled the Scheduled Hearing Monday while it considers whether the New Third Travel Ban renders it Irrelevant.
