We don't want them.— Donald Trump said this as he announced the travel ban, addressing the dangers posed by foreign nationals who have not been properly vetted.

This discriminatory policy, which limits legal immigration, not only flies in the face of what our country is supposed to stand for, it will be harmful to our economy and communities that rely on the contributions of people who come to America from this wide range of countries.

— Pramila Jayapal, a Democratic representative of Washington, on the impact of the travel ban.

As a Cuban, I feel that it’s very important to speak up for what we see that is wrong.— Madelaine Margolese, who had grown up under that country’s communist government, as she walked on the bridge toward Trump’s home.

This was an act of targeted political violence.

We’ve got no kings here. We’ve got no queens here. We’ve got no emperors.— Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., told the crowd during the protests against the military parade in Philadelphia.

We will hit every site and every target of the Ayatollahs' regime, and what they have felt so far is nothing compared with what they will be handed in the coming days.— Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, in a video message regarding the escalation of Israeli attacks on Iran.

— Jack Ciattarelli during his victory speech.

The only reason they're calling him dangerous now is to justify the denial of due process and subjecting him to cruel and unusual punishment.— Defense lawyer Dumaka Shabazz made this statement during the hearing.

To put it bluntly, there is no invasion or rebellion in Los Angeles; there is civil unrest that is no different from episodes that regularly occur in communities throughout the country, and that is capable of being contained by state and local authorities working together.
