It was surprising that the Union government had not issued a notice before issuing the blocking orders, stated the news outlet.

BREAKING: We’re taking the Trump administration to court.Today, Interfaith Alliance — alongside @mpvusa, @SikhAmericans, and @HindusForHumanRights — filed a lawsuit challenging the unlawful composition of Trump’s so-called Religious Liberty Commission. We’re represented in court by @DemocracyForward and @AmericansUnited.Despite federal guidelines, the commission’s membership consists exclusively of Christians, except for one Orthodox Jewish Rabbi, all of whom collectively represent the narrow perspective that America was founded as a “Judeo-Christian” nation and must be guided by Biblical principles. No members of the commission represent other minority religions, such as Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, or Sikhism, or non-religious Americans, and the commission’s meetings have expressly adopted and promoted purportedly Judeo-Christian ideals and viewpoints, with members routinely expressing their views during meetings that the U.S. is a Judeo-Christian or Christian nation.The Trump administration has failed to uphold our country’s proud religious freedom tradition, and we will hold them accountable.Together with our multifaith coalition of plaintiffs we are demanding that the government follow the law and respect the full diversity of belief in this country.Watch this space for updates on Interfaith Alliance v.
