Michigan Rep. Justin Amash blasts Donald Trump's immigration ban

WASHINGTON - West Michigan Rep. Justin Amash, R-Cascade Township, has responded to President Donald Trump's executive order to crack down on refugees and citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries.

President Trump says his crackdown is not a Muslim ban, but it still gained lots of criticism including a series of tweets from Amash. It was a total of 9 tweets. The first about how the executive order overreaches and undermines the constitution.

The order includes a 90-day ban on travel to the U.S. by citizens of Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. The U.S. refugee program is suspended for 120-days.

Amash is a second generation Arab-American, and his mother Mimi is a Syrian immigrant to the United States.

Trump's order imposed the most aggressive ban on Syrians, indefinitely blocking entry to the U.S. by anyone from that country, including those fleeing civil war.
