SEATTLE — Seattle University School of Law's Korematsu Center for Law and Equality joined an amicus curiae group in filing a U.S. Supreme Court brief on April 5, supporting the challengers in the ongoing Muslim travel ban litigation. The amici include the Fred T. Korematsu Center for Law and Equality (Korematsu Center), the children of those who challenged orders that led to the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, civil rights organizations, and national bar associations of color. Oral arguments will take place on April 25.
The "Presidential Proclamation" at issue is the third iteration of the Trump administration's travel ban.
Opponents say it violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, as well as the Immigration and Nationality Act. The amicus group wants the U.S. Supreme Court to review the Presidential Proclamation for violation of the Constitution.
