                      IN SUPPORT OF THE NO BAN ACT

  (Mr. CARSON of Indiana asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. CARSON of Indiana. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of the 
NO BAN Act, which I was honored to coauthor. I urge my colleagues to 
swiftly pass this landmark legislation today.
  More than 3 years ago, President Donald Trump's Muslim ban put into 
action the xenophobic and racist agenda that he promised during his 
campaign.

  It immediately led to chaos at our airports, where I was honored to 
stand in solidarity with our incoming immigrants and those cruelly 
ripped apart from their families.
  The Muslim ban became the cornerstone of President Trump's dangerous 
agenda. It has made America less respected around the world. And our 
country is not any safer.
  This isn't the only time America has shamefully shut our doors based 
on race, ethnicity, or nationality. But we can make it the last time.
  That is why we must pass the NO BAN Act and end the Muslim ban and 
make sure history does not repeat itself. I urge my colleagues to 
support this legislation today.
