Trump has 'capitulated' on Muslim ban

President Trump has "capitulated on numerous key provisions" in the revised executive order on travel and immigration signed Monday morning.The read was offered,with a declaration of victory for the rule of law, by Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson, who led the federal court fight that successfully blocked an earlier "Muslim ban" from the White House."By rescinding his earlier executive order, President Trump makes one thing perfectly clear: His original travel ban was indefensible -- legally, constitutionally and morally," The new executive order removes Iraq from the list of seven predominantly Muslim nations whose citizens are denied entry to the United States. The new 90-day ban exempts visa holders, but retains a 120-day ban on refugees entering the U.S. The ban still applies to travel from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen"The president has capitulated on numerous key provisions backed by our lawsuit, including bans on green card holders, visa holders and dual citizens, an indefinite ban on Syrian refugees and explicit preferences based on religion," Ferguson said.The revised travel order is a victory for the rule of law, Ferguson said later.
