(FOX NEWS) – Senate Democrats on Sunday attacked President Trump’s recently imposed ban on immigration from several mostly-Muslim countries — calling the order unconstitutional and seizing on some refugees and green card holders being detained this weekend at U.S. airports to fuel their political outrage.
“He has established a target of refugees,” Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, the Senate’s second-ranking Democrat, told “Fox News Sunday.”
Trump on Friday issued an executive order that includes a 120-day suspension of the U.S. refugee program and a 90-day ban on travel to the United States by citizens of Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.
Durbin spoke after a hectic Saturday at New York’s John. F. Kennedy International Airport and other airports across the country — where dozens of refugees or people with green cards were detained or stopped for additional vetting.
“They just sprung this on us,” Durbin said about the executive order. “Refugees are the most carefully vetted visitors who come into this country.”
