Feinstein to introduce two bills in response to Trump's ban

By Mallory Shelbourne - 01/29/17 05:24 PM EST



Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) will introduce two bills on Monday in response to President Donald Trump’s executive action on immigration and refugees.

“The first bill immediately rescinds the order. The second limits executive authority under the Immigration and Nationality Act,” the Judiciary Committee ranking member wrote on Twitter Sunday.

Trump on Friday signed an executive order calling for a 90-day ban on nationals from seven predominantly Muslim countries entering the United States. The order also includes a 120-day halt on admitting refugees and an indefinite pause on admitting refugees from Syria.

Feinstein said her bills would prevent Trump from unilaterally barring factions of immigrants.Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Sunday said Democrats may be able to pass legislation overturning the ban if enough Republicans are on board.

Wouldn't Trump veto such bills?

Where was this bill when Obama was signing his immigration executive orders?
