House leadership has pulled legislation from the floor that would have repealed President Trump’s prior travel bans, amid efforts to focus attention on a coronavirus response bill, Fox News has learned.
Democrats made the decision late Wednesday to delay a vote on the No Ban Act to make way for new legislation to help families affected by the virus, said Benjamin Suarato, spokesman for bill sponsor Rep. Judy Chu, D-Calif. That bill is in limbo amid GOP opposition.
The House, meanwhile, had debated the legislation on Wednesday that was the Democrats’ response to Trump's crackdown that he pledged during the 2016 campaign and that materialized into various travel bans on countries in Muslim-majority regions and beyond.
Since the House already debated and passed a procedural rule on the bill, the No Ban Act can return to the floor after next week’s recess, Suarato said.
The bill was pulled after House Republicans this week urged House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to shelve the legislation due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Republicans say the No Ban Act, which would rescind the controversial travel ban of several majority-Muslim-countries, would hinder the president’s ability to mitigate the spread of the virus in the U.S.

WuFlu has pretty much put paid to open borders.
And outsourcing.
It’s coming at an exponential speed: gradually, and then suddenly.
It’s a matter of days. Maybe a week or two.
When it does, your healthcare system will be overwhelmed.
Your fellow citizens will be treated in the hallways.
Exhausted healthcare workers will break down. Some will die.
They will have to decide which patient gets the oxygen and which one dies.
The only way to prevent this is social distancing today. Not tomorrow. Today.
That means keeping as many people home as possible, starting now.
I'll bet this guy is the life of the party.........LOL!
Not only is he the life of the party, he is right.And the President is right.
Dumb a****.....It’s in the courts already. They can’t legislate it away. It’s just a waste of everyone’s time.
never let a crisis go to waste.
I do not think it is a waste of time. Make them try to defend it in front of the courts. Have reporters ask what this means with coronavirus rampant.
Make the Democrats (demonrats) OWN THIS!
The Senate won’t pass it and it’s in the courts NOW.
Trump should make a big deal of this on his Twitter feed, if he’s not done so already...
Bfl
Democrats: we need bodies, show the victims on the nightly news and blame Trump and Deplorables.
More Cloward-Piven from the Dems.....
I believe political consultants would say about the timing of the vill: not a good look.
Bernie should ask the Old Geezer about this in his debate.
Don’t think he will, tho. Didn’t Bernie just use that presser he gave to telegraph to BiteMe everything that he, Bernie, is gonna say?
