Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh said on Friday his office would formally join a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump’s revised travel ban, WTOP radio reported.
He said that the measure was still a ban on Muslims and would hurt the state,
“Trump’s second executive order is still a Muslim ban.
“The administration persists in an effort to implement a policy that is inhumane and unconstitutional, but also makes us less safe, not safer. ’’ Frosh said in a statement, according to WTOP online.
The statement said the ban, which is being challenged by Washington and other states, would make Maryland less competitive by deterring visits by academics, scientists and engineers from other countries and would hurt Maryland’s universities and economy.
The States of Washington, Oregon and New York, Hawaii have also said they would challenge the travel ban before it comes into effect on 16 March. (Reuters/NAN)
