On January 27, 2017, only one week later of his inauguration day, Donald J. Trump issued an executive order. The press and the white house refers to this order as an immigration ban, a ban that denies the entrance from citizens from Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Iran, Somalia, Libya and Yemen into the U.S. The order goes against everything America stands for, how can we deny the entrance of people who also want to have the American dream? Trump’s executive order is a ban that is unessential, goes against our constitution, and defines the opposite of what this country stands for.

The Virginia Attorney General Herring, believes that President Trump's ban should be stopped. The ban is “conceived in religious bigotry” and has been “executed with no foresight, skill, or diligence". The Virginia Attorney General Herring has taken this ban very seriously, he believes this ban attacks the rights of Virginia Citizens. He supports his claim by stating this ban violates the due process rights of the hundred of Virginia residents who are lawful permanent residents and visa holders from Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, and Sudan.The Fifth Amendment is the right that protects people from deprivation of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. Trump’s executive order goes against it. The Virginia Attorney General is supporting his claims by presenting evidence that the “ban was motivated by religious animus”. During the preliminary injunction, all evidence he presented was not “refuted by the Administration.” Hearing had made claims that the governmental action is motivated by hostility towards a particular religious group. The Establishment Clause states that one religious denomination cannot be officially preferred over another. Trump’s executive order goes against that, because of the First Amendment the government is not allowed to aid or oppose any religion. The Virginia Attorney General has argued that the ban has harmed Virginia by violating the due process and equal protection rights of its residents. The ban has also gone against the u.s constitution (“Hearing Makes An Argument…”). It has done so by denying students, who reside in Virginia, entry or being detained.Causing these students unable to attend to their classes, which causes student to abandon their studies/fall behind. These students are not able to visit their countries, even in the event of a family member's illness or death.
