Since President Donald J. Trump’s inauguration, he has issued three different orders banning the entry of nationals from predominantly Muslim countries. From the moment the first order went into effect, the travel ban has been the subject of ongoing litigation.
Professor Avidan Y. Cover will address the competing claims at issue in the litigation over the President’s latest iteration of the travel ban. The lecture will explore the history of the federal government’s broad authority to limit immigration and address national security, to which courts have generally afforded great deference, while also addressing the continually developing anti-discrimination laws that protect people’s civil rights, which the Judiciary has zealously upheld.
