New York attorney general on how he's fighting Trump's travel ban In this compelling conversation, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman addresses the ongoing concerns surrounding President Trump's travel ban. The video highlights the united front of Democratic attorneys general from 15 states and Washington, D.C., who are taking a stand against the controversial immigration order. Key Points:

• Unconstitutionality Claims: Schneiderman expresses strong belief that certain aspects of the travel ban are unconstitutional. Courts have issued temporary stays recognizing the likelihood of success for claims alleging violations of due process and equal protection under the law.
• Legal Actions: The attorney general discusses the importance of identifying those detained under the ban, as many lawyers struggle without knowing who is being held. His office aims to ensure compliance with orders issued by federal judges.
• Federal Transparency Issues: He criticizes the lack of transparency in the process, emphasizing the chaotic rollout of the executive order, which left many unsure of how to proceed when detainees arrived at airports.
• Protection for Vulnerable Groups: There is a significant commitment from the coalition of attorneys general to protect those affected, reinforcing their constitutional rights during this legal turmoil.
• Establishment Clause Violations: The conversation touches upon potential challenges to the travel ban, particularly concerning religious discrimination, especially when the Trump Administration suggested preferential treatment for Christians over Muslims.
• National Security Concerns: Schneiderman argues that the travel ban undermines national security rather than enhancing it, citing the risks of retaliation and societal division it may provoke.
