Democratic lawmakers introduce NO BAN Act which seeks to limit the ability of any future administration to block the entry of people from other countries into the US.

Introduced by Senator Chris Coons and Congresswoman Judy Chu on Wednesday, the National Origin-Based Antidiscrimination for Nonimmigrants Act would strengthen federal immigration law to prevent discrimination based on religion and to ensure that any use of the authority to suspend entry into the country is narrowly tailored.
Trump had threatened a"Muslim ban" before taking office in 2016 and is now seeking to return to the presidency for a second term. "We must ensure that this senseless policy is never repeated and that no elected official acts on fear and prejudice to discriminate based on religion or nationality. That is why I'm reintroducing the NO BAN Act to prevent future discriminatory travel bans and make sure our nation lives up to its highest ideals."
