Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Ron Wyden, D-Ore., today blasted Donald Trump’s order banning or restricting travelers from 19 nations from visiting the United States.
“Donald Trump has already run out of new ideas, so now he’s trying to rerun the failures of his first term. Trump’s blanket travel ban is cruel and inhumane, and won’t do a single thing to make our country safer,” Wyden said. “It will prevent people from visiting family and loved ones, block new business opportunities and shut down academic and cultural exchanges that make our country stronger. I strongly oppose this move and will work with my colleagues to repeal it.”
