Immigration Article of the Day: The Constitution and the Trump Travel Ban by Earl M. Maltz
The Constitution and the Trump Travel Ban by Earl M. Maltz, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey – Rutgers Law, Lewis & Clark Law Review, Forthcoming 15 Pages Posted: 24 Mar 2018
Abstract
Since President Trump took office, his administration has issued a number of variations of what has become known as the “travel ban,” an order that temporarily banned the entry of aliens from a number of predominantly Muslim countries. Focusing on anti-Muslim statements that Trump made during the presidential campaign, opponents of the ban and a number of lower federal courts have argued that the imposition of the travel ban violates the First Amendment. This article, which will appear in a forthcoming symposium on immigration law that will be published in the Lewis and Clark Law Review, contends that these arguments are without merit.
