Lujan Grisham Responds to President's New Travel Ban

ALBUQUERQUE – Congresswoman Michelle Lujan Grisham issued the following statement today in response to President Trump’s new travel ban:

“President Trump’s reintroduced executive order on refugees and immigration continues to jeopardize our national security and provide ISIS and other terrorists the propaganda they desire to fuel future attacks against the U.S. and our allies. The Trump Administration cited terrorism concerns as the primary reason for reintroducing his ban but the intelligence arm of the Department of Homeland Security found insufficient evidence that citizens of the six Muslim-majority countries included in this travel ban pose a terror threat to the United States. The President should identify his specific concerns about the existing vetting process and work with Congress to identify improvements based on proven terrorist threats.”
