Penn. AG: ‘Ultimately’ Trump’s Order Has ‘Made Us Less Safe in the U.S.’

‘Well, in the wake of the president’s executive order, we found crisis and chaos in our communities’

EXCERPT:

SHAPIRO: “We don’t discriminate on national origin. We don’t discriminate based on faith. And ultimately what this decision by the president has done is, it’s made us less safe in the United States. It’s my job as the attorney general, it’s the president’s job as the president to always balance ensuring the safety and well-being of our citizens, as well as protecting people’s rights. I think the president has failed on both tests. I would urge him to withdraw this executive order. If he does not, we in Pennsylvania will be prepared to take legal action against it. This ultimately undermines the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, whether it is the researcher who plans to travel or maybe wants to leave the commonwealth and come back who works in Pittsburgh at one of our fine institutions."
