Issues

Standing up for the rule of law and American values, Bob successfully blocked – and eventually defeated – President Trump’s original travel ban. The Trump Administration ultimately decided not to appeal the first travel ban to the Supreme Court and agreed to reimburse Washington for its legal fees. Bob believes everyone is accountable to the law – including the President of the United States.

Ferguson’s legal record against the Trump Administration

Bob was the first leader in the nation to take on President Trump, blocking the first unconstitutional Muslim travel ban. Bob won that case and went on to defeat Trump more than 50 times in court on cases ranging from voting rights and gun responsibility to reproductive freedom.

Bob’s victories include:

• Permanently defeating President Trump’s original Muslim Travel Ban that was significantly broader than the later version upheld by the Supreme Court;

• Successfully blocking President Trump’s decision to rescind DACA, the federal program that protects DREAMers; and

• Blocking President Trump’s plan to allow 3D-printed “ghost” gun plans to be legally disseminated on the internet.
