NEW YORK 鈥� The 桃子视频 and other legal organizations today filed a lawsuit on behalf of individuals subject to President Trump's Muslim ban. The lead plaintiffs have been detained by the U.S. government and threatened with deportation even though they have valid visas to enter the United States. One plaintiff, for example, worked for the U.S. military and his life was in danger in his home country due to that relationship. The other鈥檚 family was also threatened because of perceived ties to the United States.

Omar Jadwat, director of the ACLU鈥檚 Immigrants鈥� Rights Project, said:

鈥淧resident Trump's war on equality is already taking a terrible human toll. This ban cannot be allowed to continue.鈥�
