"US Senators Chris Murphy and Dianne Feinstein and US Representatives Judy Chu and Zoe Lofgren have each introduced companion bills in the US Senate and US House of Representatives to block the implementation of President Trump’s executive order blocking travel from majority Muslim countries," the release said.
