On April 10, 2019, Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA) introduced the National Origin-Based Antidiscrimination for Nonimmigrants Act or the “NO BAN Act”. The NO BAN Act (H.R. 2214) would repeal several iterations of the travel ban and ensure that no future administration could issue similar bans that would block immigrants from entering the United States based on their religion. The House Judiciary Committee marked up and passed H.R. 2214 on February 12, 2020. AILA endorses this bill.
