THREAD: Congress is voting on the #NoBanAct today in a chance to finally repeal the Muslim Ban. This is a historic moment - the first time a Muslim civil rights bill is being voted on.
"Today is historic, as the #NoBanAct is the first bill to pass the house that directly addresses Muslim civil rights. And we would not be here today without the courage of Muslims and allies across the country." @RepJayapal 
From @RepJerryNadler of NY: “When the Trump administration introduced the first version of the [#MuslimBan], it was immediately apparent that it was unconstitutional, discriminatory, and morally reprehensive.”
From @RepJudyChu: "Disrespect and chaos are what this #MuslimBan is all about. The administration has steadily worked to make it harder and harder for individuals to come to the United States, which has meant keeping families and loved ones apart."
From @davidcicilline of RI: "The #MuslimBan resulted in mothers and fathers being separated from their children...doctors from countries under the ban are unable to come here to provide care to patients...despite health care shortages across the nation..."
From @RepJoeNeguse: "The president’s reckless bans on majority Muslim and African countries do not align with our American values, or the unique promise that this country has offered immigrants and refugees for centuries."
Rep @Ilhan Omar speaks: "It gives me great pride to rise today in support of the #NoBanAct. The White House has tried to wrap their hateful policy up in a false story about national security, but we know the truth...about the hate and brutality of the #MuslimBan."
From @RepBarbaraLee: “This is a landmark piece of civil rights legislation, not only for Muslims, but for our country’s values...we cannot allow Trump's white nationalist agenda to continue."
Rep. @RashidaTlaib: "This racist ban is a federal endorsement of anti-Muslim rhetoric and discrimination in our country, but today we are coming together to finally put a stop to this. End the Muslim and African Ban. End all discriminatory bans forever."
