RVSP Here

Washington, D.C. – On Thursday, March 9, 2017 at 2PM, Members of the U.S. House of Representatives will hold a forum entitled, “Ali v. Trump: The Fight for American Values” to examine the critical consequences of President Donald Trump’s misguided immigration policies.

During the past six weeks, President Trump has begun implementing immigration policies that assume all immigrants, and even some citizens, are entering the United States to commit fraud, terrorism, and/or criminal activity. This has led to absurd consequences, including the hours long questioning of a U.S. Citizen, Muhammad Ali, Jr., the  interrogation of a 70 year old Australian children’s book author, the 10 hour detention of a French historian, and the absurd test administered to a Nigerian software engineer.
