shaped, it is very much a reflection of the presidents prejudice specifically against muslims in africa. nigeriaas the nigeria has the sixth-largest largest christian population in the world. it also has the fifth-largest muslim population. so how is the aclu, how is this being dealt with? omar: right, so we have an ongoing case against the ban as it stood or as it continues to stand, the ban that has been a place for three years now, so we actually just had an argument in ththat case last week. even though the supreme court obviously dealt us a significant setback when it allowed the ban to move forward, that case is still ongoing and we will continue to litigate that case. and it is our view that, at the end of the day, we will be able to establish that, notwithstanding everything that has happened, notwithstanding we have had to live under this ban for years, we will show that it is unconstitutional. amy: explain the trump administration's rationale. omar: their rationale is that these countries, they say, do not adequately sure enough information with the united states so we can assess their

as you note, 95% of the people covered by this are from africa, nigeria, the most populist african countryif you look at what the president has said, and i'm not going to repeat it on air, but about certain countries going back to when they spiked a dreamer deal, comments he made about the diversity visa, comments he made about haitian immigrants, nigeria is the largest country, largest number of black people in the world live in that country. and if you go back and look what he said and this is kind of overlapping a little bit here, again, the president said a lot of things during the campaign. the wall has become a punchline when it was really about the sentiment. the president was incredibly clear on what he said about muslims and muslim immigration coming to this country. i think the president has been clear about people coming from africa as well. >> is this just in short form about restricting legal immigration as opposed to illegal immigration, because steve miller, president's adviser, the driving force behind this, has been very public in his own comments supporting restrictions o
