WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement in response to reports that as many 100,000 visas were revoked in response to President Trump's Muslim Ban: 

"The wide impact of this ban should be deeply concerning to all Americans. This ban is not only dividing families and violating our highest principles, it is also making us less safe and plays right into the hands of ISIS and other terror groups.  It ought to be reversed immediately."
