The Muslim ban was an executive order by President Trump
The ban was challenged by the ACLU of Washington and the law firm of Keller Rohrback L.L.P., who filed lawsuits against the refugee portion of the order. The lawsuits were consolidated into Doe et al. v. Trump et al., and Jewish Family Service of Seattle et al. v. Trump et al.
The Muslim ban was criticised as a betrayal of the values that inspired America's founders, and as an act of racial and religious prejudice that would further divide American society and weaken US leadership on freedom and liberty abroad. The NO BAN Act was introduced by Rep. Chu and Sen. Coons to prevent presidents from enacting religious travel bans.

The NO BAN Act was introduced to prevent discriminatory bans
The Muslim ban was labelled as such by Donald Trump and his supporters and critics alike. It was also referred to as the Trump travel ban, the Trump Muslim travel ban, or the Trump Muslim Immigration Ban. The ban was challenged by the ACLU of Washington and the law firm of Keller Rohrback L.L.P., who filed lawsuits arguing that the ban was discriminatory and a betrayal of the ideals and values that inspired America's Founders.
Representative Judy Chu and Senator Coons reintroduced the NO BAN Act to prevent presidents from enacting religious travel bans. The Act was supported by Representative Beyer, who stated that "Trump's Muslim Bans have always been a betrayal of the ideals and values that inspired America's Founders. Donald Trump's use of racial and religious prejudice to bar people from entering the country does not make anyone safer, all it achieves is further divisions in our society and the weakening of U.S. leadership on freedom and liberty abroad."
Naureen Shah, deputy director of government affairs with the ACLU Equality Division, also spoke in support of the NO BAN Act, stating that "The first time President Trump was in the White House, as we all watched his xenophobic Muslim ban wreak havoc on families in airports and communities across the country, the ACLU took to the courts for relief. This time around, the landscape includes the Supreme Court's decision to allow Trump's previous ban to go into effect. We can't sit back as Trump again seeks to inflict cruelty. The NO BAN Act is an important effort to uphold our fundamental values and ensure our laws prevent discriminatory bans from being enacted in the future."
