As many as 140 Democratic lawmakers have reintroduced legislation in the US Congress to prevent future Muslim bans and prohibit discrimination on the basis of religion. President Joe Biden ended the Muslim ban on his day one in the office last month. “When the Trump Administration issued its xenophobic Muslim ban, it was immediately apparent that it was unconstitutional, discriminatory, and morally reprehensible,” said Nadler. Senator Coons said, “We have turned the page on the tragic Muslim ban, but now we must write the next chapter ? I’m proud to work with my colleagues to place the Muslim ban in the dustbin of history where it belongs,” Omar said.
