She reacted to the travel ban list, which Nairametrics had earlier reported, through her Twitter handle, stating that, “The Trump Admin’s expansion of its un-American travel ban is a threat to our security, our values and the rule of law.

“Barring more than 350 million people from predominantly African countries from travelling to the US, this rule is discrimination disguised as policy.”

Pelosi to move against ban list: Pelosi, who is a member of the Democrats Party (opposition party to Trump’s Republican party), said the House would move against the ban list, which has been termed as religious discrimination because it targets countries with large Muslim population.

In her tweet, Pelosi stated that, “In the coming weeks, the House will bring the NO BAN Act to the Floor to prohibit religious discrimination in our immigration system and limit the President’s ability to impose such biased and bigoted restrictions.”
