Bob Ferguson: Trump’s Revised Ban Still Harms My State

EXCERPT:

FERGUSON: "Two key provisions are, the refugee ban and what’s now the six nation ban. They dropped Iraq from that list. If you literally put those two provisions from the original executive order and the new one and compare them side by side, they are virtually identical. So yes, the revised executive order does revise some of the negative impacts, for example, that exempts green card holders and those with visas. So to be true, the number of folks impacted is more narrow, but those two key provisions are still virtually identical and there’s still harm to my state. And that’s why we’re confident that Judge Robart out here in the western district of Washington will maintain the injunction on this revised executive order as well."
