My Statement on Trump's Travel Ban 2.0

“Donald Trump’s latest travel ban is not a new policy; it’s a dangerous sequel to the same discriminatory playbook he used during his first term with the infamous Muslim Ban.

“That policy tore families apart, sowed fear in immigrant communities, and betrayed America’s values. Now, with a wider list of targeted nations, he is doubling down on the same hateful rhetoric and xenophobic strategy. The ban’s scope and lack of nuanced security assessments reveal its true nature: a political maneuver rooted in prejudice rather than a genuine effort to protect our nation. This renewed travel ban is nothing short of a thinly veiled continuation of his anti-immigrant, anti-Black, and anti-Muslim agenda, and it is rooted in the very foundation set by Project 2025. 

“Let me be clear: this latest travel ban is not a matter of national security, but is rather a blatant continuation of Donald Trump’s longstanding war on Black and brown immigrants. From the moment he referred to African nations as ‘shithole countries,’ his agenda has been crystal clear: to demonize and shut out people of color from the promise of America. 

“The Ninth Congressional District of New York represents a cultural mosaic of diversity, and I see every day how immigrant families strengthen our neighborhoods, drive our economy, and enrich our culture. My heart breaks for my constituents, because this disturbing decision doesn’t just impact the millions still confined to their home nations. It cuts off the lifeline of their family members who have found a new home in my district and across America who rely on resources from their families here in the states. They all deserve dignity — not discrimination. I stand with them, and I will use every tool at my disposal in Congress to oppose this unjust and un-American ban.”
