Brennan Center and 46 Organizations Demand Congressional Oversight of Trump’s Muslim Ban and Extreme Vetting

The Brennan Center, alongside 46 other civil and human rights organizations, sent a letter calling on Congress to take necessary steps to obtain full information about the Trump administration’s implementation of the Muslim ban and “extreme vetting” policies.

Published: June 13, 2018

The undersigned organizations write to urge Congress to take necessary steps to obtain full information about the Trump administration’s implementation of Executive Order 13769, Executive Order 13780, and Presidential Proclamation 9645 – collectively known as the “Muslim Ban” – as well as “extreme vetting.” They represent millions of Americans who have been directly impacted, have had family members directly impacted, or are deeply disturbed by the policies. The letter calls on Congress to mandate that the State Department and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services consistently report the number of people impacted by the ban and extreme vetting procedures. This information would give Congress and the public the necessary information to ensure the Administration is complying with federal law.
