Condemns the President's January 27, 2017, executive order banning individuals from seven Muslim-majority countries (Sudan, Syria, Yemen, Iran, Iraq, Libya, and Somalia) for 90 days, suspending all refugees for 120 days, and indefinitely suspending Syrian refugees as discriminatory and violating the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965.

Requests the President immediately rescind the executive order, arguing it violates religious freedom protections, lacks expert vetting, and targets individuals based on national origin and religion rather than legitimate security concerns.

Urges the Department of Homeland Security to comply with federal court orders and grant detained individuals immediate access to legal counsel, citing the administration's defiance of judicial branch authority as undermining constitutional checks and balances.

Asserts the order jeopardizes national security by alienating the approximately 3.3 million Muslims in the United States and serving as a recruitment tool for terrorist organizations.

Directs copies of the resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States and the Secretary of Homeland Security.
