\"\"Amicus Brief\u00a0\u2013 Filed By 16 AGs \u2013 Opposes Trump Administration\u2019s Stay Application In Trump v. Hawaii\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

AGs Detail How Ban Harms States\u2019 Residents, Businesses, & Institutions<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman led a coalition of 16 Attorneys General in filing a new amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court, opposing President Trump\u2019s third travel ban and his administration\u2019s application for a stay of a preliminary injunction halting enforcement of that ban.<\/span><\/p>\n

The amicus brief, filed in\u00a0Trump v. Hawaii<\/i>, urges the Supreme Court to reject the Department of <\/span>Justice\u2019s emergency stay application, which seeks a complete stay of the Hawaii district court\u2019s preliminary injunction against the third travel ban. The Ninth Circuit recently declined to stay the portion of the injunction that prevented the Trump Administration from implementing the third ban against individuals from six predominantly Muslim countries who have a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we\u2019ve said from the start and the courts have affirmed: President Trump\u2019s ban is unconstitutional, unlawful, and un-American ban. We\u2019ll continue to fight back\u00a0to\u00a0protect New York\u2019s families, institutions, and businesses,\u201d said\u00a0Schneiderman.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of amici States benefit from immigration, tourism, and international travel by students, academics, skilled professionals, and businesspeople. The disputed provisions of the Proclamation \u2013 like the previous bans \u2013 significantly disrupt the ability of our States\u2019 public universities to recruit and retrain students and faculty, impairing academic staffing and research, and causing the loss of tuition and tax revenues, among other costs. The Proclamation also disrupts the provision of medical care at our hospitals and harms our science, technology, finance, and tourism industries by inhibiting the free exchange of information, ideas, and talent between the designated countries and our States, causing long-term economic and reputational damage. In addition, the ban has made it more difficult for us to effectuate our own constitutional and statutory policies of religious tolerance and nondiscrimination,\u201d the amicus brief states.<\/span><\/p>\n

The brief, like previous ones filed by the same coalition, details the numerous serious and irreparable harms the States have faced as a result of the Trump Administration\u2019s travel bans, which could very well now be permanent due to the indefinite nature of this third ban (and particularly if a sweeping stay is granted).<\/span><\/p>\n

Attorney General Schneiderman has also\u00a0filed suit against the third travel ban<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
