“This order is part of Donald Trump’s ongoing efforts to dismantle our freedoms and roll back our rights. He hates that civil rights laws give us the power to stand up to bullies like him,” Graves said. “But a president does not have the power to take away core civil right[s] protections from the people of this country with a flick of his wrist.”
