In a brief to the Supreme Court, the White House argues that relying on campaign statements to conclude President Trump’s revised travel ban unlawfully targets Muslims fails to give proper deference to his national security determinations.
The BJC issued statements today in response to the Supreme Court’s decision to hear two closely watched cases that may have an impact on religious liberty law.
Claims of religious discrimination relying on the President’s campaign statements about Muslims played no role in the 9th Circuit’s ruling against his revised immigration order.
Can an immigration policy that doesn’t mention religion amount to religious discrimination? Are campaign statements relevant? The government asks the U.S. Supreme Court to rule.
President Trump’s campaign statements, the Appeals Court ruled, demonstrate the true religious purpose of his Executive Order on immigration.
