BREAKING: We just filed the first legal complaint that challenges the entirety of Trump’s unlawful immigration ban. The ban is huge, and so is the lawsuit with our partners @AILANational @ThinkLawLab @MayerBrown #NoImmigrationBan #FamiliesBelongTogether 1/ https://justiceactioncenter.org/individuals-employers-and-organizations-join-to-file-first-lawsuit-challenging-entirety-of-trumps-immigration-ban/

We have 23 individual and organizational plaintiffs, including family-based immigrant visa petitioners, diversity visa lottery winners, and nonimmigrant visa sponsors who want to bring in essential workers from abroad to help during #COVID19. 2/

The ban is unprecedented in scope. If it remains, it will block ~525k people from entering the U.S. It will prevent 20k employers from bringing in much-needed help, including healthcare and childcare workers. 3/

The US economy relies on stability and growth, and this immigration ban actually undermines its purported goal of protecting workers. It throws the business plans of companies into chaos. 4/

It also indefinitely separates families. Many have been waiting for YEARS to reunite and thought they could do it this year. Now they can’t -- unless this ban is stopped. #FamiliesBelongTogether 5/

This ban rejects decades of Congressional judgments on the terms for which people can come to the U.S. It is unconstitutional. We will not remain silent and let the president take a wrecking ball to our immigration system. #NoImmigrationBan #FamiliesBelongTogether
