Today, the Supreme Court upheld President Trump’s notorious travel ban, which critics have derided as a discriminatory law that targeted Muslims. Opponents like CAIR and the ACLU argued that Trump had a sordid history of animus toward Muslims, and he intentionally enacted the ban to discriminate against them.
