Greenpeace Response to Court Ruling Halting Trump’s Muslim Ban

March 15, 2017

In response to a federal court decision placing an emergency halt on Trump’s Executive Order banning Muslims from entering the United States, Greenpeace spokesperson Leila Deen said:

“Trump’s second attempt to ban Muslims from entering the country is still bigotry in action. This ban is designed for one thing only: to target people of Islamic faith and today’s federal court decision sends a strong signal to the Trump administration that bigotry will not stand up in court.

“We applaud the state of Hawaii for taking this action to defend freedom of movement against Trump’s unconstitutional attack on religious rights. Greenpeace has pledged to continue to resist these bigoted policies and to act in solidarity with all of the communities Trump threatens.”
