We've reactivated @DullesJustice - the #MuslimBan airport lawyer group. We built the rapid response legal team 4 years ago. No wheel reinventing.
I'm hopeful we can get clearance to help provide timely advice to these families.
Now that we can finally breathe a sigh of relief, I want to re-up my thread to document the incredible humans of @DullesJustice and how they fought the #MuslimBan at the front lines ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
Thank you to everyone who was part of this effort along the way - down to the last cup of coffee you brought us. Consider this our grateful and hopeful goodbye (but we won’t actually go anywhere... just in case).
The #MuslimBan is an affront to religious freedom. It separates families and denies basic dignity to countless American Muslims. Congress can stop this today by passing the #NoBanAct. Speak out: https://t.co/zX5v5HqcL3
Trump’s plan to expand the #MuslimBan is cowardly and reckless. ⚠️ Thousands of families will suffer. And it won’t make us any safer. Congress must immediately end this cruelty by passing the #NoBanAct: https://t.co/zX5v5HqcL3
Today marks the 2nd anniversary of Trump’s second Muslim Ban executive order.
While bigotry and hatred are now American policy, the fight is not over. Trump’s Muslim Ban can be stopped! #RepealTheBan#WeWillNotBeBanned
Received an anonymous submission recently from an individual separated from her husband by the #MuslimBan. It spans many pages and is deeply moving. A few quotes: [thread] 1/6
@DullesJustice turns two today. We wish there had never been a need for us, but we’re grateful that we had the chance to show up when it mattered. And we’re so thankful to everyone who helped along the way. #MyTwitterAnniversary
Two years ago this week, the president signed an executive order banning travelers from Muslim-majority countries. The consequences have been tragic, for families and for our country. Congress should hold the administration to account. https://t.co/nwPwcJ5naj
Today 2 yrs ago, we were at Dulles w/ @DullesJustice & hundreds of others to protest Trump's discriminatory, hateful Muslim Ban. Two years later, we continue to denounce the ban, which is wrecking havoc on the lives of millions of Muslims in America & abroad.

To learn more about the ban and where we are now, this is a helpful resource. To help out, follow @DullesJustice...but the real first step is to SPEAK OUT when you see injustice for others and stand up behind and beside those that need help 🇺🇸
