CONTACT WASHINGTON \u2014 The U.S. Supreme Court has removed both major legal challenges to President Trump\u2019s Muslim ban from its oral argument calendar, NILC learned today. Oral argument in the cases had been scheduled to take place on October 10.<\/p>\n The Court has ordered all parties in the cases to submit additional briefing in light of yesterday\u2019s announcement from the Trump administration that it has issued yet another ban against several countries, including predominantly Muslim-majority countries. The National Immigration Law Center is co-counsel in Trump v. IRAP<\/em><\/a> and has committed to fighting the Muslim ban in all its permutations every step of the way. Below is a statement from Marielena Hincapi\u00e9, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center.<\/p>\n \u201cThis new Muslim ban, just like each prior version of it, is morally reprehensible and legally indefensible. Our communities have always known this, and the federal circuit courts of appeal have consistently agreed. Although any delay in justice served is disappointing and will result in tremendous harm to our communities, this latest news is just one step in the larger, multi-faceted fight against the Muslim ban and the Islamophobia that is at the root of these bans. Our goal from the start has been clear: we will work\u2014inside and outside the courtroom\u2014to make sure there is no Muslim ban ever. We will collaborate with our Muslim community leaders and all the affected communities to make sure our country rejects this hateful and divisive policy.<\/p>\n
