-President Trump defending his controversial travel ban,

程度副詞

even as attorneys general from 16 states slam it

as "unconstitutional, un-American, and unlawful."

Protestors gathering in cities across the United States

from New York to Boston, Los Angeles, and beyond.

-And it's not a Muslim ban, but we are totally prepared

You see it at the airports. You see it all over.

-To help people understand that there's this waiver issue

ban went into effect, thousands of people

before they even had a chance to make the case

that we will be together in America soon.

in a class-action lawsuit that we filed immediately

after the Supreme Court upheld the Muslim ban.

-Love is not a person that will come and knock on your door.

It's like a strong wind that blows everything.

So that's how I felt with me and my wife.

I was like, "I want to get married, Mom," you know?

As a Muslim-American citizen, do I really have to go through this

-He's standing up for thousands of people like him

and demanding that there be a fair and meaningful process

While we are putting up this fight in the courts,

we also understand that Congress has a role to play,

we're testifying before Congress in support of a bill

that would really rein in this abuse of power.

It was introduced this spring by Senator Coons

and Congresswoman Judy Chu, and the bill would make it clear

that you cannot discriminate on the basis of religion.

You know, this is going to be the first time

that members of Congress hear directly from people

It'll be on oversight of the travel ban and its impacts,

with witnesses from State, Homeland Security.

as well as advocates and a legal analyst.

and his wife is unable to come to the US with their child.

-And the fact pattern here with Ismail and his family

most folks I've talked to Delaware are unaware

that there are hundreds and hundreds of families separated,

or there are stranded spouses and children

in other parts of the world who are waiting.

-The House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee

Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigation

will come to order for this joint hearing.

Without objection, I will preside over today's hearing.

-A consular officer will automatically consider

that applicant for a waiver based upon the criteria

denial of a visa would cause the applicant undue hardship,

and the applicant poses no national security

or public safety threat to the United States.

that are on this travel ban only make up 8%

So if the intent of the Trump administration,

as my Democrat colleagues contend, is to ban Muslims,

they're doing a pretty darn poor job of it.

-I want to make it clear to everyone that not everyone

in the discriminated class has to be discriminated against

in order for something to be discriminatory.
