Trump Has Refused Court Order to Produce Giuliani's ‘Muslim Ban’ Memo
-
According to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the Trump administration has refused to release a memo from the commission established by former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani concerning Donald Trump’s failed Muslim Ban, despite a federal court’s order to produce the document.
“Under a federal order, the memo was to be produced on Friday,” ACLU of Michigan’s statement on the matter reads, “but the Trump administration objected late Friday night, claiming, among other things, that a federal court cannot require the President to release documents.”
The ACLU of Michigan, in conjunction with the Arab American Civil Rights League (ACRL), challenged the president’s “travel ban” in federal court, and has called on the White House “to be transparent on the issue.” The judge had previously directed the Trump administration to produce the document by May 19th.

Giuliani went on Fox News and admitted that it was a Muslim ban. He told a story about how Trump called him and asked how they could ban muslims legally.
