Gov. Malloy Statement on Ruling by Fourth Circuit Court Blocking Travel Ban
(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Dannel P. Malloy released the following statement regarding the ruling released today by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals upholding a lower court ruling blocking implementation of President Trump’s travel ban:
“Today is a victory for the rule of law, but we know the fight is far from over. The administration can try to claim this is not a ban based on religion, however the facts speak for themselves. Throughout the campaign, President Trump called for a ban on Muslims entering this nation simply because of their religion. Our nation was founded on the principle that all people are created equal – and this executive order violates that indelible promise. It seems likely that this case will be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court – and if that transpires, I look forward to that court ruling definitively in favor of justice and liberty.”
