NEW YORK – Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman issued a statement today concerning the most recent Executive Order issued by President Donald Trump with regards to immigration.
Schneiderman said he is ready to fight the order, which he says discriminates against Muslims.
His full statement follows:
“Courts across the country have made clear: President Trump is not above the Constitution.
While the White House may have made changes to the ban, the intent to discriminate against Muslims remains clear. This doesn’t just harm the families caught in the chaos of President Trump’s draconian policies – it’s diametrically opposed to our values, and makes us less safe.
My office is closely reviewing the new executive order, and I stand ready to litigate — again — in order to protect New York’s families, institutions, and economy.”
Last month, Schneiderman filed suit against President Trump’s original immigration ban, and led a coalition of Attorneys General that opposed the ban in courts across the country.
