Strike down Trump’s travel ban; appeals Late Muslim-American soldier's father to court
Washington: Khizr Khan, father of Capt. Humayun Khan who was killed on duty in Iraq, personally appealed to the Supreme Court to strike down President Donald Trump's travel ban, arguing that it was unconstitutional and "desecrates" his son's sacrifice.
Originally from Pakistan and a Muslim, Khan filed the legal brief on Friday because, in his view, Trump's travel ban "not only desecrates Humayun Khan's service and sacrifice as a Muslim- American officer in the US Army, but also violates Khizr Khan's own constitutional rights". his attorney, Dan Jackson, wrote in the brief.
The ban places varying levels of restrictions on foreign nationals from eight countries: Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela, Somalia and Yemen, CNN reported.
Known for his impassioned speech at the 2016 Democratic National Convention, Khizr Khan is also a lawyer.
Capt. Humayun Khan was killed in 2004 when he moved to stop a car containing suicide bombers headed toward his base in Iraq, for which he was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star.
The brief notes Trump's comments on the campaign trail that he wanted to institute a "Muslim ban", a key component of critics' arguments that the administration's travel ban is a thinly veiled attempt to target Muslims.
