ABC News reports:
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer of New York called on President Donald Trump to reverse his executive order on immigration, calling it “mean-spirited and un-American.” Schumer said Senate Democrats will soon introduce legislation attempting to overturn Trump’s travel ban executive order. An aide to Schumer says the legislation could come as soon as Monday.
At a press conference Sunday, Schumer grew emotional as he denounced the executive order barring entry into the United States for people from seven predominantly Muslim nations. Schumer also said that he spoke with Department of Homeland Secretary John Kelly, who told him 42 people detained at airports would be processed and allowed to enter the country following Saturday night’s court order temporarily barring deportations.
