Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, who welcomed refugees to the city more than a year ago, spoke out about President Trump’s executive order banning citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries from traveling to the U.S.
Duggan released this statement:
The City of Detroit is proud of our status as a Welcoming City, where immigrants from all countries are embraced. When President Obama was attacked for his decision to increase acceptance of Syrian refugees, Detroit became a national leader in publicly offering a home for these families.

When you hear the pride and excitement in their voices for their chance to start a new life in this country, you realize what America means to so many in the world. Our country won’t be made safer by telling victims of oppression that America’s doors are closed to them or by telling them they’re unwelcome because of their religion.
