Washington state’s two Democrat senators have agreed to co-sponsor two bills by Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) to dismantle President Trump’s ban on refugees, immigrants and visitors from seven Muslim-majority nations from entering the United States.

U.S. Senators Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Patty Murray (D-WA) continued their harsh condemnation Monday of Trump’s executive order on immigration.

“President Trump’s executive order on immigration flies in the face of our core American values,” Cantwell said.

“These bills will ensure Trump’s executive orders do not go into effect,” she said. “America must continue to be a leader on human rights and we must do our part to help Syrian refugees and all fleeing persecution.”

“What unfolded at Sea-Tac International Airport and in airports around the U.S. this weekend is nothing short of appalling and un-American,” Murray said, referring to the detainment this weekend of two men held after the executive order was signed by the president late Friday.

“I met with the family of somebody who was turned away from our country this weekend, and I saw first-hand the grief and confusion this executive order has caused. We cannot stand for this — and I applaud the many peaceful demonstrators and lawyers who rushed to our airports to defend our democracy and help the people who have come to our country seeking refuge,” Murray added.

The executive order led to chaos over the weekend at airports across the country as security officials detained people entering the country who might be affected by the immigration ban, which put in place a 120-day halt on the resettlement of any refugee to the United States and a permanent ban on Syrian refugees.

It also ordered an immediate 90-day suspension of immigrant and non-immigrant visas for people from the seven Muslim-majority countries of Iran, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and Libya.

Two men were detained at Sea-Tac airport early Sunday as a result of the executive order.

The travelers, a Yemeni and a Saudi, were subsequently released following a court order.

Another traveler, of Somali origin, was denied entry to the country Saturday and sent to Vienna.

The Murphy bill — which would withhold any funding to enforce the executive order and makes clear the order is illegal based on the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act — was introduced by the junior senator from Connecticut, and Cantwell and Murray were joined as original cosponsors by Senators Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Brian Schatz (D-HI) and Chris Van Hollen (D-MD). The Immigration and Nationality Act banned discrimination against immigrants on the basis of national origin.

Senate Republicans objected to a vote on Feinstein’s bill, which would rescind the executive order, on the Senate Floor Monday.

In a letter to the president, Murray and Cantwell have also asked Trump to immediately revoke the executive order on refugees as it runs “counter to what truly makes America great.”

The letter said the executive order constitutes a Muslim ban, and is fundamentally un-American and discriminatory, and also notes it could harm national security and the country’s economic interests.

According to the Washington state chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, there are 100,000 to 150,000 Muslims in the state.

In addition, since 2003, Washington state has received more than 32,000 refugees, mostly from Middle Eastern or majority-Muslim countries.

Washington also ranked eighth as a state in the number of relocated refugees accepted in 2015, according to the Migration Policy Institute.
