States on Trump travel ban

States that challenged Donald Trump’s original travel ban will continue to challenge the new one.

The Trump administration rolled out the new executive ordered banning people from six countries, leaving Iraq off the list this time.

Maura Healey, attorney general of Massachusetts, calls the new ban misguided, and an effort to fulfil a discriminatory and unconstitutional campaign promise.  The State of Virginia says while the new version appears to be scaled back, it still sends a horrible message to the world.

Ottawa studies Trump travel ban

Ottawa is studying the new travel ban rolled out by the Trump administration leaving six countries on the list…only Iraq has been removed. The new executive order doesn’t go into effect until March 16th.

Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale says his people are studying the revised version to see how it affects us….but for now he says it appears Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be treated as they’ve always been.
