NO BAN ACT
Earlier this month, Representative Judy Chu (D-Calif.) and Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) reintroduced the National Origin-Based Antidiscrimination for Nonimmigrants (“NO BAN”) Act [[link removed]] . The “NO BAN” Act would prevent future bans on Muslim communities. It would also prevent other similar discriminatory measures by strengthening the Immigration and Nationality Act to prohibit discrimination based on religion and by ensuring that any use of the authority to suspend entry into the country is narrowly tailored and follows appropriate consultation with Congress.
Muslim Advocates has worked with members of Congress, impacted families [[link removed]] , and partner organizations in the No Muslim Ban Ever coalition for years to support the bill that was first introduced in 2019. Learn more about this important milestone [[link removed]] .
THE MUSLIM ADVOCATES LEGAL TEAM IS GROWING
Through the generous support of our community of supporters, Muslim Advocates is expanding. We’re proud to welcome Sadaf Hasan as a new Staff Attorney. Her work has covered issues on immigrant justice, surveillance, police misconduct, wrongful convictions, and low-wage worker’s rights. Most recently, Sadaf was an Immigrant Justice Corps Fellow at Brooklyn Defender Services where she worked closely with non-citizen and immigrant communities at the intersections of the criminal, immigration, and family legal systems. As a public defender, Sadaf represented clients in deportation proceedings and complex applications before USCIS through a holistic defense model.
