Hopefully, we can all agree that the order does not mention Muslims or Christians by name?
The argument being made is that Muslims have been singled out
implicitly, not explicitly.
Thus the order can be seen as a violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution; "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion".
As evidence of discriminatory intent, Trump's challengers cite:
* The exemption that the immigration order provides for religious minorities.
* Comments made by him and his colleagues whilst campaigning.
They additionally argue that the action violates the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment guarantees of "due process of the law" by denying entry to individuals with valid visas.
