NEW YORK — Rev. Al Sharpton, president and founder of National Action Network
(NAN), issued the following statement following this morning’s Supreme
Court decision upholding President Trump’s travel ban on individuals
from
Muslim-majority countries.
“Today’s Supreme Court decision marks another
outrageous step backwards for religious and racial justice around the
world. The Supreme Court’s decision to the anti-Muslim bias clearly
apparent in this policy is unfathomable – the ban is
rooted in Islamophobia and has been phonily sold to the American public
for the sake of ‘security.’
“Trump has made it clear time and time again he
wants a migration ban on individuals from all Muslim countries. We at
NAN have no patience for the ongoing efforts by this administration to
undermine religious freedom, a basic building block
of our nation. We will push back at every step and every available
juncture on any whiff of intolerance and prejudice.”
