Statement “President Trump’s post-election announcement – that his administration will effectively deny the moms, children and families who come here from Central America the chance to apply for asylum – is cruel, heartless and a violation of U.S. law and treaty obligations. It puts refugees with well-founded fears of persecution at risk of a return to persecution. The President does not have the authority to criminalize families that simply want the chance to live in peace.

Statement “President Trump doubled down on his immoral anti-immigrant actions late yesterday with a promise to illegally block asylum-seekers, violate their human rights by jailing families for extended periods of time, and increase the military presence at the border to 15,000 troops. It is appalling that the President seems to be making policy and allocating resources based on the dishonest scare tactics he uses for political gain.

Statement “As countless legal scholars with a range of political views are pointing out, President Trump does not have the power to overturn birthright citizenship, which is enshrined in our Constitution. Doing so would require a constitutional amendment, which in turn requires an extraordinary consensus that does not exist because, thankfully, few people in this country share his extreme, baseless anti-immigrant views.

Statement “FedEx made a wise and responsible move by ending its practice of giving discounts to National Rifle Association (NRA) members last week. That partnership was tantamount to an endorsement of the NRA’s appalling agenda and gave NRA leaders a marketing tool to entice people to join and support its work.

Statement “Forty years after the Pregnancy Discrimination Act became law, pregnant workers in this country still face discrimination every day. It is disgraceful that so many working women are fired or denied jobs or promotions simply because they become pregnant. Too many others are denied the reasonable accommodations they need – like being allowed to carry bottles of water, take more bathroom breaks, or use stools – that would allow them to keep a paycheck at the moment they need it most.
