Dems plan rally at Supreme Court to protest Trump's executive order

Democratic lawmakers will host a rally on Monday evening at the Supreme Court to protest President Donald Trumps recent executive order imposing a temporary ban on nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries entering the United States.
Tomorrow at 6:00 p.m., House and Senate Democrats will gather for a press event in front of the steps of the Supreme Court to demand the President withdraw his disreputable executive order. All Members are urged to come to express our solidarity, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a letter to her Democratic colleagues in the House.
Trump on Friday signed an order that imposed a 90-day ban on nationals from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen entering the United States. The order also included a 120-day ban on admitting refugees and an indefinite halt on admitting refugees from Syria, which has been embattled in a civil war since 2011.
We are witnessing an historic injustice unfold, and we must keep the pressure on, Pelosi said in the letter.
