1 THE HONORABLE JAMES L. ROBART 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON 9 STATE OF WASHINGTON; STATE 10 OF CALIFORNIA; STATE OF MARYLAND; COMMONWEALTH 11 OF MASSACHUSETTS; STATE OF NEW YORK; and STATE OF 12 OREGON, 13 14 CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:17-cv-00141-JLR SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF Plaintiffs, v. 15 DONALD TRUMP, in his official capacity as President of the United 16 States; U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY; JOHN F. 17 KELLY, in his official capacity as Secretary of the Department of 18 Homeland Security; REX TILLERSON, in his official capacity 19 as Secretary of State; and the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 20 Defendants. 21 I. INTRODUCTION 22 1. The States of Washington, California, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, and 23 Oregon (“States”) bring this action to protect the States—including their residents, employers, 24 hospitals, and educational institutions—against illegal actions of the President and the federal 25 government. 26 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 1 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 2. On January 27, 2017, President Trump issued Executive Order 13769 (“First 2 Executive Order”). This Court enjoined key provisions of the First Executive Order on 3 February 3, 2017. President Trump responded on March 6, 2017, by issuing Executive Order 4 13780 (“the Second Executive Order”). 5 3. Like the First Executive Order, the Second Executive Order will cause severe 6 and immediate harms to the States, including our residents, our colleges and universities, our 7 healthcare providers, and our businesses. The Second Executive Order will prevent State 8 residents—including United States citizens—from seeing their spouses, parents, or other 9 family members, will cause our States’ colleges and universities to lose talented students and 10 highly qualified faculty and staff, will deny our States’ hospitals the opportunity to compete for 11 top medical residents and physicians, and will cost our States’ businesses talented job 12 applicants and substantial revenue. The Second Executive Order will also cause the States 13 themselves to lose tax revenue and will undermine our sovereign interest in maintaining the 14 separation between church and state, in upholding our non-discrimination policies, and in 15 remaining a welcoming place for immigrants and refugees. 16 17 4. The Court should invalidate the portions of the First Executive Order and the Second Executive Order challenged here. 18 II. JURISDICTION AND VENUE 19 5. The Court has jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 2201(a). 20 6. Venue is proper in this district pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391(b)(2) and 21 1391(e)(1). Defendants are United States agencies or officers sued in their official capacities. 22 The State of Washington is a resident of this judicial district, and a substantial part of the 23 events or omissions giving rise to this Second Amended Complaint occurred within the 24 Western District of Washington. 25 26 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 2 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 7. The States bring this action to redress harms to their proprietary interests and 2 their interests as parens patriae, as well as under their authority pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 702 and 3 42 U.S.C. § 2000bb-1(a). 4 III. 5 6 PARTIES PLAINTIFF STATE OF WASHINGTON 8. The Governor is the chief executive officer of the State of Washington. The 7 Governor is responsible for overseeing the operations of the State of Washington and ensuring 8 that its laws are faithfully executed. 9 9. The Attorney General is the chief legal adviser to the State of Washington. The 10 Attorney General’s powers and duties include acting in federal court on matters of public 11 concern. 12 10. Washington has declared that practices that discriminate against any of its 13 inhabitants because of race, creed, color, or national origin are matters of public concern that 14 threaten the rights and proper privileges of the State and harm the public welfare, health, and 15 peace of the people. See Wash. Rev. Code 49.60.010. 16 11. Washington’s interest in protecting the health, safety, and well-being of its 17 residents, including protecting its residents from harms to their physical or economic health, is 18 a quasi-sovereign interest. 19 12. Washington also has an interest in ensuring that its residents are not excluded 20 from the benefits that flow from participation in the federal system, including the rights and 21 privileges provided by the U.S. Constitution and federal law. 22 13. Washington’s interest in preventing and remedying injuries to the public’s 23 health, safety, and well-being extends to all of Washington’s residents, including individuals 24 who suffer indirect injuries and members of the general public. 25 26 14. As this Court recognized, the First Executive Order harmed Washington residents, educational institutions, and employers, and Washington itself. The Second SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 3 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 Executive Order will do the same. The Second Executive Order’s six-country ban and refugee 2 suspension provisions prevent our colleges and universities from welcoming talented students 3 and staff from around the world, separate our residents from their families, thwart businesses 4 that recruit or serve foreign nationals from the six-listed countries, interfere with religious 5 organizations practicing their faith, and negatively impact state tax revenue. 6 15. According to the most current American Community Survey data from the U.S. 7 Census Bureau, as of 2015, approximately 7,280 non-citizen immigrants from Iran, Iraq, Syria, 8 Somalia, Sudan, Libya, and Yemen reside in Washington—1,409 Iranian immigrants, 360 9 Libyan immigrants, 2,883 Somalian immigrants, 165 Sudanese immigrants, and 187 Syrian 10 immigrants. In addition, 2,275 immigrants in Washington are from Iraq—which was included 11 in the First Executive Order, but, for now, falls outside the Second Executive Order’s six- 12 country ban. 13 16. The Second Executive Order will negatively impact Washington’s economy. 14 Immigration is an important economic driver in Washington. Many workers in Washington’s 15 technology industry are immigrants, and many of those immigrant workers are from Muslim- 16 majority countries. Immigrant and refugee-owned businesses employ 140,000 people in 17 Washington. Many companies in Washington are dependent on foreign workers to operate and 18 grow their businesses. 19 17. The technology industry relies heavily on the H-1B visa program, through 20 which highly skilled workers like software engineers are permitted to work in the United 21 States. Microsoft, a corporation headquartered in Redmond, Washington, is the State’s top 22 employer of H-1B visa-holders and employs nearly 5,000 people through the program. Other 23 Washington-based companies, including Amazon, Expedia, and Starbucks, employ thousands 24 of H-1B visa-holders. 25 26 18. The market for highly skilled workers and leaders in the technology industry is extremely competitive. Changes to U.S. immigration policy that restrict the flow of people may SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 4 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 inhibit these companies’ ability to adequately staff their research and development efforts and 2 recruit talent from overseas. If recruiting efforts are less successful, these companies’ abilities 3 to develop and deliver successful products and services may be adversely affected. 4 19. Microsoft’s U.S. workforce is heavily dependent on immigrants and guest 5 workers. At least 76 employees at Microsoft are citizens of Iran, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, 6 Libya, or Yemen and hold U.S. temporary work visas (and many more are lawful permanent 7 residents or green card holders who were the subjects of the First Executive Order). These 8 employees may no longer be able to renew their visas, travel overseas, or attend meetings at 9 the company’s offices in Vancouver, British Columbia. 10 20. Seattle-based company Amazon also employs workers from every corner of the 11 world. Amazon’s employees, dependents of employees, and candidates for employment with 12 Amazon will be impacted by the Second Executive Order. 13 21. Bellevue-based company Expedia operates a domestic and foreign travel 14 business. At the time of the First Executive Order, Expedia had approximately 1,000 customers 15 with existing flight reservations in or out of the United States who held passports from the 16 seven originally banned countries. The Second Executive Order will again restrict business, 17 increase business costs, and impact current employees and customers. 18 22. Like the First Executive Order, the Second Executive Order will separate our 19 residents’ families. Under the First Executive Order, at least three Washington residents from 20 the seven originally affected countries were prevented from traveling to Washington or 21 detained at air, land, and sea ports of entry across the United States. One Somali refugee, who 22 had lived in Seattle for 12 years, went to Sea-Tac airport to pick up her Somali husband who 23 was flying from Vienna, but never saw him before he was sent back on a flight to Vienna. 24 Another detainee was prevented from seeing her Iraqi brother who lives in Seattle, after 15 25 years apart. Still other Washington residents were prevented from being reunited with family 26 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 5 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 members. One Syrian family who recently resettled in Seattle was left waiting for an older 2 child arriving from a refugee camp because of the First Executive Order. 3 23. Once implemented, the Second Executive Order will again prevent residents 4 from receiving visits from or reunifying with family members from the six-targeted countries. 5 For example, the fiancée of one WSU student lives in Iran. Though his fiancée long ago 6 applied for a green card and is scheduled for an interview in May 2017, her interview will 7 likely be cancelled under the Second Executive Order. Another long-time Washington resident, 8 an aerospace engineer, is suffering the same plight. His Iranian wife, though scheduled for an 9 interview, will likely be unable to enter due to the Second Executive Order. 10 24. Similarly, Washington residents will be unable to receive visits from their 11 families abroad. For example, a U.S. citizen originally from Iran applied for a green card for 12 her parents on November 9, 2016. One of her parents is sick and requires 24-hour care. Under 13 the Second Executive Order, neither of her parents—nor her Iranian sister who was recently 14 accepted to seven different Ph.D. programs in the U.S.—will be allowed to enter the United 15 States for at least 90 days, if not longer. Another Iranian-American resident, a doctor 16 specializing in diagnostic radiology, recently applied for green cards for her parents, whom she 17 has not seen in three years. Although her mother arrived in the United States on March 11, 18 2017, after the First Executive Order was enjoined, her father’s application is still being 19 processed. The Second Executive Order will likely preclude him from entering the United 20 States. 21 25. Even more, Washington residents will be torn apart from their family members 22 in the United States who are on temporary visas. One Washington green card holder, for 23 example, will be separated from her Iranian sister and her two-year old daughter. The daughter 24 suffers from a rare and deadly disease called Niemann-Pick Disease Type C. Although her 25 sister and niece were able to obtain visas from Iran to enroll the niece in a clinical trial at 26 Oakland Children’s Hospital in California, those visas are set to expire on March 24, 2017. SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 6 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 Since it is unclear whether they will be extended under the Second Executive Order, sister and 2 niece are required to return to Iran having not finished the clinical trial. 3 26. The Second Executive Order will also impact physicians in Washington and our 4 health care system as a whole. The Washington State Medical Quality Assurance Commission 5 regulates 27,001 physicians whose licenses are in active status. At least 105 of these physicians 6 were born in one of the seven countries named in the First Executive Order, with seven 7 additional licenses pending approval. In addition, 45 active licensees received all or part of 8 their medical education in one of the affected countries. The Medical Commission has also 9 issued several limited licenses to residents, fellows and physicians serving as teaching-research 10 11 members from the affected countries. 27. Washington currently has many Health Professional Shortage Areas 12 (“HPSAs”), which are areas in which there are shortages in the number of primary care, dental 13 health, or mental health physicians needed to treat patients. In many situations, a county is 14 triply designated as having shortages in primary care, dental, and mental health clinicians. 15 Washington also has a number of Medically Underserved Areas/Populations, which are areas 16 in which there are too few primary care providers, high infant mortality rates, high poverty, or 17 high elderly populations. Washington has undertaken a number of initiatives to recruit 18 physicians to treat these underserved populations and communities. Despite these initiatives, 19 however, Washington continues to have shortages in the number of physicians and dentists 20 available. These shortages are expected to increase in the coming years. Recruitment of 21 foreign-born physicians is one of the ways that Washington has attempted to address these 22 shortages. The First Executive Order significantly harmed these recruitment efforts and harmed 23 Washington’s efforts to ensure that residents in rural and underserved areas receive health care. 24 The Second Executive Order will do the same. When a position goes unfilled, patients may 25 have to wait months for appointments, travel long distances to receive care, or simply do 26 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 7 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 without the care. The inability to hire foreign-born physicians reduces patient access to 2 healthcare in Washington. 3 28. In fact, Washington healthcare employers have already lost needed physician 4 candidates due to uncertainty created by the First Executive Order. For example, one health 5 center was ready to sign a contract with a family medicine physician from Libya but after the 6 First Executive Order was issued, the physician decided that it was too risky to change 7 employers. Another large healthcare system in Washington with multiple hospitals and clinics 8 lost a physician candidate who decided to pursue a position in Canada given the uncertainty of 9 the First Executive Order. The same healthcare system also has several physicians who are in 10 process to receive their permanent resident status who are considering leaving the U.S. for 11 opportunities in Canada. Physicians are central revenue generators for Washington hospitals 12 and clinics. The shortage of physicians reduces the revenue of these hospitals and clinics and 13 reduces the taxes the State is able to collect. 14 15 16 29. In addition to affecting Washington residents, families, and its businesses, and health care system, the Second Executive Order will harm Washington’s proprietary interests. 30. According to data from several travel companies and research firms, there 17 appears to have been a “chilling effect” on tourism to the United States. Since January 27, 18 2017, the demand for travel to the United States has taken a “nosedive.” (See Shivani Vora, 19 After Travel Ban, Interest in Trips to U.S. Declines, N.Y.Times (Feb. 20, 2017), available at 20 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/20/travel/after-travel-ban-declining-interest-trips-to-united- 21 states.html, attached hereto as Exhibit 1). 22 31. Tourism is Washington’s fourth largest economic sector. It is estimated to 23 generate nearly $21 billion annually, and it is estimated that each international route to Sea-Tac 24 airport generates about $89 million in economic revenue to our region. In 2015, travelers from 25 the Middle East spent approximately $96 million in Washington. This spending generated 26 more than $6 million in state tax revenue and more than $2 million in local tax revenue. In SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 8 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 2016, more than 6,000 passengers travelled between Sea-Tac airport and the six countries 2 targeted in the Second Executive Order. 3 32. The Second Executive Order will negatively impact Washington’s tourism 4 industry. After the First Executive Order, for example, one Washington tour company that 5 operated trips to Iran for thirty years had to cancel four trips scheduled for Iran. Customers— 6 some U.S. citizens—told the tour company’s CEO that they cancelled because they were afraid 7 to travel in light of the First Executive Order. Another tour company was similarly forced to 8 cancel a pilgrimage to Iraq. This fear will only continue under the Second Executive Order and 9 Washington’s tourism industry will suffer. 10 33. Similarly, the Second Executive Order will depress Washington’s real estate 11 businesses. For example, Redfin, a Seattle-based real estate brokerage company, is aware of at 12 least five potential Redfin customers who decided not to purchase a home due to concerns 13 about the future following President Trump’s Executive Orders. Each time a customer ends 14 their home-buying search before buying a home, Redfin loses potential revenue and the State 15 loses taxable revenue. 16 17 18 34. The Second Executive Order will also harm countless students and faculty at the States’ public colleges and universities, as well as harm the institutions themselves. 35. The University of Washington (“UW”) and Washington State University 19 (“WSU”) are the two largest public universities in the State. At least 95 students from Iran, 20 Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Libya, and Yemen attend the University of Washington, based in 21 Seattle. Fourteen of these scholars are nonimmigrant visa-holders from the six countries 22 specified in the Second Executive Order. Two of these fourteen scholars are not currently in 23 the United States. More than 135 students from the seven original countries targeted by the 24 First Executive Order attend Washington State University, based in Pullman. At least 188 25 students from the seven countries attend Washington’s public community and technical 26 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 9 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 colleges. In addition, Washington’s public universities and colleges have faculty members and 2 visiting scholars from the seven countries. 3 36. The Second Executive Order will restrict these students, scholars, and faculty 4 members, who rely on their ability to renew their visas, from traveling abroad for research or 5 scholarship. The First Executive Order, for example, prevented one graduate student from 6 participating in critical research in Greenland, prevented visiting scholars from traveling to the 7 United States for research, and prevented faculty members and students from participating in 8 international conferences. These cancellations resulted in financial losses to the universities 9 and will continue under the Second Executive Order. 10 37. By restricting travel, the Second Executive Order will hinder students’ 11 educational experience as well as limit students’ ability to fully participate in their programs of 12 study and will prevent faculty members from fulfilling university responsibilities. UW’s 13 Global Health program, for example, has worked with Sudan’s Ministry of Health since 2001, 14 hosting approximately 25 Sudanese professionals as scholars for as much as one academic 15 quarter. The presence of Sudanese students at UW’s Global Health program strengthens the 16 educational experience of all the students, but will likely be discontinued under the Second 17 Executive Order. 18 38. In addition, numerous graduate students from the six-targeted countries are 19 studying here on single-entry visas. The Second Executive Order will impact their ability to 20 attend academic conferences, visit their families abroad, or have their families visit them. It 21 may cause some students or faculty to leave the universities, which damages research projects, 22 academic programs, and the educational missions of Washington’s institutions of higher 23 education. 24 39. Like the First Executive Order, the Second Executive Order will also harm the 25 universities’ ability to recruit, employ, and retain, scholars from the affected countries. 26 Washington has a proprietary interest in securing the best possible employees. Washington SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 10 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 agencies and institutions of higher education (including UW and WSU) often recruit people, 2 based on their specialized skills and qualifications, from the countries affected by the Second 3 Executive Order. 4 40. For example, UW started the process of sponsoring three prospective employees 5 to work in the fields of medicine and engineering. Two of these scholars were expected to start 6 in February 2017, but the First Executive Order prevented them from entering the U.S. UW 7 also sponsored two interns to work with faculty in medicine and science who were scheduled 8 to start their internships during the 90-day ban imposed by the First Executive Order. One of 9 these interns would not have been able to enter the U.S. if the temporary restraining order had 10 11 not issued. The second intern cancelled his internship because of the First Executive Order. 41. UW incurs costs for processing each application, including visa-related fees and 12 the costs of the human resources required to assist the international scholars. If a person whom 13 UW has sponsored cannot enter the country or carry out their work because of the Second 14 Executive Order, UW will lose the benefit of its investment. UW may also lose associated 15 registration fees and program expenses. For example, UW will lose the quarterly registration 16 fee for each of the academic quarters that the intern who cancelled was to be engaged in his 17 internship. 18 42. Likewise, Washington’s educational institutions will have difficulty in retaining 19 its faculty members. UW, for example, has one faculty member who regularly visits family 20 members in Iran. If she can no longer do so, she may have to leave and her loss would be a 21 very significant loss to UW. 22 43. The Second Executive Order will also prevent individuals from the listed 23 countries from enrolling in Washington’s public universities or colleges. This could result in 24 lost tuition revenue or other fees. As of March 12, 2017, UW’s Graduate School has received 25 374 applications from prospective students from the six-targeted countries—and has already 26 extended offers to twenty-eight of them. If these students are unable to attend UW, the quality SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 11 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 and number of graduate students enrolling in UW graduate programs will decrease. Further, 2 UW will likely forgo revenue it would otherwise have obtained from these international 3 students’ revenue. Regular full-time tuition is currently $10,404 for Fall, Winter, and Spring 4 Quarters, and $10,074 for Summer Quarter. 5 44. Similarly, the UW Continuum College’s International English Language 6 Program routinely enrolls students from several of the affected countries. The students pay a 7 program fee of $3,680 per quarter. Five students from the targeted countries had been accepted 8 for either the Spring quarter, which will begin on March 22, 2017, or the Summer quarter, 9 which will begin in June 2017, but none has yet received a valid visa. The students will not be 10 able to travel to the U.S. under the Second Executive Order, and Continuum College will lose 11 the associated program fees. 12 45. A number of applicants from the countries targeted by the First and Second 13 Executive Orders have been contacting the Graduate School at UW with concerns about the 14 Executive Orders. Some have requested refunds of the $85 application fee. To date, the 15 Graduate School has provided application fee refunds to two affected applicants. 16 46. Likewise, the Second Executive Order will depress the number of applications 17 universities receive from international students in the first place. Since the First Executive 18 Order was issued, UW Continuum College has not received any applications from any of the 19 six countries named in the Second Executive Order. WSU’s Special Education program, 20 likewise, had been receiving more and more applications from international students until this 21 year. The program received over 60 applications last year, before the First Executive Order 22 issued. This year, WSU’s program processed only 10 applications. 23 47. The Second Executive Order will harm members of Washington’s diverse faith 24 communities and non-profit religious organizations that provide services to refugees and 25 immigrants as part of their religious beliefs and/or mission. By barring the arrival of refugees 26 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 12 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 to whom these individuals and organizations would have otherwise provided services, the 2 Second Executive Order will have a negative financial impact on their revenue. 3 48. This impact will be immediate. Lutheran Community Services Northwest 4 (“Lutheran Services”), for example, was directly prevented from providing services to at least 5 eight refugees after the First Executive Order was implemented for just one week. If the 6 Second Executive Order’s refugee ban is implemented, Lutheran Services will be prevented 7 from providing services to an additional 100 to 200 refugees and 15 of its 35 refugee 8 resettlement staff will be laid off. The Jewish Family Service of Seattle, which views its 9 service to refugees to be a part of Jewish religious and cultural commands to “welcome the 10 11 stranger,” will suffer similar harms. 49. Finally, the Second Executive Order renders the State unable to honor its own 12 sovereign laws, policies, and commitments. Specifically, Washington and its employers, 13 housing providers, and businesses have long been prohibited from discriminating against 14 people based on national origin and/or religion in employment, housing, and in places of public 15 accommodation. If the Second Executive Order is implemented, Washington will suffer the 16 indignity of the federal government expressing a religious and nationality preference in a way 17 that violates Washington’s prerogatives. 18 19 PLAINTIFF STATE OF CALIFORNIA 50. The State of California, represented by and through its Attorney General, is a 20 sovereign State of the United States. California is home to more than 10 million immigrants, 21 welcomed almost 8,000 refugees last year, and hosts the greatest number of international 22 students—almost 150,000—of any state. 23 51. California joins this litigation as a Plaintiff following the issuance of the Second 24 Executive Order. California suffered harm as a result of the First Executive Order and will 25 continue to suffer injuries from the Second Executive Order. 26 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 13 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 52. California has an interest in protecting the well-being of its populace and in 2 ensuring that its residents are not excluded from the benefits that flow from participation in the 3 federal system, including the rights and privileges provided by the United States Constitution 4 and federal law. California also has an interest, as evidenced by its Constitution and state law, 5 in prohibiting discrimination on the basis of religion or national origin. The Constitution of the 6 State of California provides that “[f]ree exercise and enjoyment of religion without 7 discrimination or preferences are guaranteed,” and that the “Legislature shall make no law 8 respecting an establishment of religion.” Cal. Const. art. I, § 4. California’s Constitution also 9 prohibits any discrimination on the basis of national origin. Id. §§ 7-8, 31. California state law 10 also prohibits discrimination on the basis of religion or national origin. See, e,g., Cal. Gov’t 11 Code §§ 11135-11137, 12900 et seq; Cal. Civ. Code § 51, subd. (b). 12 53. According to a 2015 study, 27 percent of California’s population was foreign 13 born, about twice that of the nation as a whole. Foreign-born residents represented more than 14 30 percent of the population in eight California counties (Santa Clara, San Mateo, Los 15 Angeles, San Francisco, Alameda, Imperial, Orange, and Monterey). According to the 2015 16 American Community Survey, 213,689 California residents were born in Iran; 25,903 in Syria; 17 7,859 in Yemen; 5,505 in Somalia; and 1,761 in Sudan. The foreign-born population, including 18 those individuals from the six countries affected by the Second Executive Order, contributes 19 significantly to the State’s economy and workforce. 20 54. California, as the sixth largest economy in the world, houses many small 21 businesses, large corporations, non-profit organizations, public and private hospitals, and 22 colleges and universities that will be adversely affected by the Second Executive Order. These 23 institutions employ and enroll individuals from the affected countries and rely on their 24 expertise, skill, and labor. The Second Executive Order will harm California by reducing 25 investment and industry in California and decreasing travel by students, scholars, and tourists. 26 These outcomes will harm California’s economy as a whole and will decrease state tax and SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 14 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 other revenues. The Second Executive Order is also fundamentally inconsistent with and 2 undermines California’s commitment to diversity and nondiscrimination. 3 55. California’s state colleges and universities will be adversely affected by the 4 Second Executive Order. These institutions enroll many students from the affected countries 5 and the Second Executive Order substantially interferes with the continued matriculation of 6 these students to California’s universities and colleges. The University of California (“UC”), 7 which has ten campuses, has numerous undergraduate students, graduate students, and medical 8 residents who are nationals of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. There are 436 9 students on student visas from these countries at UC’s six largest campuses (Los Angeles, 10 Berkeley, San Diego, Irvine, Davis, Santa Barbara). The California State University System 11 has approximately 250 students on visas from these countries. The University of Southern 12 California (“U.S.C.”) typically has 150-200 graduate students and post-doctoral scholars from 13 the six affected countries. In the 2015-2016 academic year, U.S.C. had enrolled approximately 14 157 students from these countries—153 students from Iran, three from Libya, and one from 15 Yemen. Because of the Second Executive Order, students admitted to California universities 16 and colleges who are unable to obtain a visa by March 15, 2017, will likely be unable to 17 matriculate for the 2017-2018 academic year. Some international students already have 18 withdrawn applications due to uncertainty caused by the First and Second Executive Orders. 19 56. The Second Executive Order also disrupts the ability of California’s universities 20 and colleges to meet staffing needs. As a result of the Second Executive Order, California 21 colleges and universities may be unable to hire the best faculty, lecturers, research assistants, 22 and visiting scholars from the affected countries. Without these faculty, graduate students, and 23 post-doctoral scholars, it will be far more difficult for these institutions to conduct important 24 research, instruction, and administration. Many of these individuals have specialized expertise 25 that cannot easily be replaced or duplicated. The Second Executive Order will interfere with 26 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 15 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 the ability of those who seek to study, train, research, and teach at California colleges and 2 universities, to the detriment of these communities. 3 57. The Second Executive Order hinders the mission and purpose of California’s 4 colleges and universities. As the UC President stated, the Second Executive Order’s 5 restrictions on travel are an “anathema to advancing knowledge and international cooperation” 6 and infringe on “the free flow of students, faculty, scholars and researchers that are at the core 7 of the universit[ies’] education, research and public service missions.” (See UC Statement and 8 preliminary guidance on revised executive order, UC Office of the President (Mar. 6, 2017) 9 available at http://nhlrc.ucla.edu/institute/article/172916, attached hereto as Exhibit 2). 10 Universities throughout the State have had to expend money and resources on providing 11 support to impacted students and faculty in their communities. The universities have also had 12 to instruct their international students, faculty, scholars, and employees to consult with 13 immigration lawyers, register with their campus office of International Affairs, and generally, 14 show caution before traveling out of the country. Further, the atmosphere of fear and 15 uncertainty created by the Second Executive Order is antithetical to the diversity of 16 perspectives and the freedom of thought and expression that are essential to (higher) education. 17 58. The Second Executive Order will also deprive California colleges and 18 universities, and California, of significant revenue. The estimated expenditure in 2016 by 19 foreign students in California was $5,215,216,463. The University of Southern California 20 takes in, and now faces the potential loss of, millions of dollars in tuition and costs from 21 international students. 22 59. The Second Executive Order, like the First Executive Order, will disrupt 23 medical residency staffing. The University of California, for example, has five teaching 24 hospitals that participate in the “match” program for purposes of placing residents in various 25 university hospital programs. These medical residents perform crucial services, including, in 26 many cases, providing medical care for underserved state residents. Decisions on ranking these SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 16 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 future residents were due on February 22, and the computerized “match” is scheduled to occur 2 on March 17, one day after the Second Executive Order goes into effect. Matched residents are 3 expected to begin work on July 1. On information and belief, UC hospitals historically have 4 taken residents from the six affected countries and planned to do so this year. However, a 5 potential resident who is unable to obtain a visa by March 15, 2017, will not be able to 6 participate in UC residency programs. Particularly for smaller programs, some of which may 7 have only five residents, this will create a significant gap in staffing. 8 60. The Second Executive Order will also harm California residents’ access to 9 health care. California, like many other states, relies on doctors who are foreign nationals, 10 especially in underserved rural areas. According to one survey, of the non-U.S.-citizen doctors 11 in California’s physician workforce, 191 are from the six countries affected by the Second 12 Executive Order. 13 61. Like all other states, California is allotted 30 J-1 Visa Waiver recommendations 14 and administers this program through the State Department of Health Care Services. Because 15 of a critical need for primary care physicians in underserved communities, California gives 16 priority to those willing to serve in these communities. The Second Executive Order, by 17 limiting the pool of applicants who may be selected for its 30 slots, will impede California’s 18 future ability to effectively use this program to benefit its citizens, especially those in rural and 19 other underserved areas. 20 62. The Second Executive Order may also have a negative impact on staffing in the 21 California State Hospital System, which provides mental health services to patients in secure 22 correctional medical facilities, and could make serving this patient population more difficult. 23 63. The Second Executive Order, like the First Executive Order, will cause 24 California to lose significant revenue from tourism. In 2015, there were approximately 286,000 25 visitors from the Middle East, which includes Iran, Syria, and Yemen, to California. 26 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 17 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 Collectively, visitors from the Middle East spent approximately $681,000,000 in California in 2 2015. 3 64. The $681,000,000 spent by visitors from the Middle East is subject to state and 4 local taxes in California. As a result of this spending, it is estimated that the state sales tax, at a 5 rate of 6.0 percent, generated $40,860,000 in tax revenue for the State in 2015. In addition to 6 the state sales tax, California imposes a mandatory local tax rate of 1.25 percent, bringing the 7 total sales and use tax base to 7.25 percent. In some municipalities, additional local taxes can 8 raise the sales and use tax rate as high as 9.75 percent. At the minimum 1.25 percent local tax 9 rate, travelers from the Middle East are estimated to have generated $8,512,500 million in local 10 tax revenue in 2015. Altogether, 2015 spending by Middle East travelers is conservatively 11 estimated to have generated a total of $49,372,500 in state and local tax revenue. 12 65. Using the estimated total of $49,372,500 in state and local tax revenue 13 generated annually by visitors from the Middle East, during a 90-day period, Middle East 14 travelers generate $12,174,041 in state and local tax revenue. Due to the Second Executive 15 Order, California will be deprived of a significant portion of this revenue. In addition, because 16 tourism supports employers in California, the Second Executive Order may cause the 17 elimination of tourism-related jobs. 18 66. For example, on information and belief, the Los Angeles Tourism and 19 Convention Board estimated that it might see 300,000 fewer international visitors in 2017, a 20 three to four percent decrease from expectations, at least in part as a result of the Executive 21 Orders. This decrease would amount to an estimated loss of $220 million, which jeopardizes 22 the employment of the hundreds of thousands of Los Angeles residents whose jobs rely on 23 tourism. Tourism is particularly critical to the economy of Los Angeles, supporting more than 24 500,000 jobs in the city’s leisure and hospitality sector. In 2016, Los Angeles attracted 47.3 25 million visitors. In 2015, Los Angeles’s approximately 45.5 million visitors spent a total of 26 $20.6 billion. In 2016, the Los Angeles Tourism and Convention Board announced a marketing SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 18 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 campaign to increase tourism from the Middle East. In 2014 alone, 128,000 Middle Eastern 2 travelers visited Los Angeles, accounting for approximately $410 million in direct spending. 3 67. The Second Executive Order also negatively impacts California’s Refugee 4 Resettlement Bureau (“RRB”), which administers the state’s Refugee Resettlement Program 5 (“RRP”). RRB works with county and local refugee service providers to aid the displaced in 6 achieving successful resettlement and self-sufficiency in California. The RRB is responsible 7 for managing and coordinating the delivery of benefits and services to the State's refugee 8 population in coordination with county and local refugee service providers. Among the 9 benefits administered by RRB are those for low-income refugees such as Refugee Cash 10 Assistance, California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (“CalWORKs”) aid for 11 children, and Refugee Medical Assistance. 12 68. According to data collected by the RRB, from 1995-2015, California accepted 13 179,016 refugees—37,953 from Iran, 6,916 from Somalia, 1,269 from Sudan, and 256 from 14 Syria. Between 2012 and 2015, California accepted 23,393 refugees including 5,668 from Iran, 15 225 from Syria, and 119 from Sudan. Between July 1, 2015 and June 30, 2016, California re- 16 settled 1,454 Syrian refugees, more than any other State. The Second Executive Order’s 17 restrictions on travel from countries such as Syria and Iran, and the four-month suspension of 18 the United States Refugee Admissions Program (“USRAP”), means that the family members 19 of the State’s large refugee population will be unable to travel to the United States to provide 20 financial and other support, placing additional strain on RRB. 21 22 PLAINTIFF STATE OF MARYLAND 69. This suit is brought on behalf of the State of Maryland (“Maryland”) by its chief 23 legal advisor and representative, Brian E. Frosh, the Attorney General of Maryland. Md. Code 24 Ann., State Government § 6-106. Under the Constitution of Maryland, and as directed by the 25 Maryland General Assembly, the Attorney General has the authority to file suit to challenge 26 action by the federal government that threatens the public interest and welfare of Maryland SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 19 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 residents, including this suit, which seeks to protect Maryland residents against illegal and 2 unconstitutional federal immigration and travel restrictions. Md. Const. Art. V, § 3(a)(2); 2017 3 Md. Laws, Joint Resolution 1. 4 70. Maryland joins this litigation as a Plaintiff following issuance of the Second 5 Executive Order. Maryland suffered harm as a result of the First Executive Order and will 6 continue to suffer injuries from the Second Executive Order. 7 71. Maryland has a quasi-sovereign interest in protecting the welfare and safety of 8 its residents and ensuring that its residents are not excluded from the benefits that flow from 9 participation in the federal system, including the rights and privileges provided by the U.S. 10 11 Constitution and federal laws. 72. Immigrants have always been vital to Maryland’s economy and its very identity, 12 and in recent years the relative importance of immigrants’ contribution has increased 13 substantially. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the percentage of Maryland residents who 14 are foreign-born grew from 6.6% in 1990 to 9.8% in 2000, and then rose to 14.5% of the 15 population in the period 2011-15. Immigrants comprise nearly one-third of the residents in 16 Maryland’s most populous county, Montgomery County. 17 18 19 73. Maryland’s foreign-born population contributes disproportionately to its economy. 74. According to the Census Bureau, in 2013 the 14.5% of Maryland’s population 20 that was foreign-born provided 18.2% of Maryland’s total workforce. In 2014 alone, 21 immigrants working in Maryland earned $33.7 billion and paid $3.1 billion in state and local 22 taxes; of these amounts, $1.5 billion in earnings and $134.8 million in state and local taxes 23 were attributable to immigrants from the Middle East and North Africa. Approximately 26% of 24 all entrepreneurs in Maryland are foreign-born. An Urban Institute study examining 2006 data 25 found that foreign-born residents accounted for 27% of Maryland’s scientists, 21% of health 26 care practitioners, 19% of mathematicians and computer specialists; a quarter of construction SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 20 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 and agricultural workers; a third of all building and grounds maintenance workers; and almost 2 a quarter of food preparation and healthcare support workers. 3 75. According to the Census Bureau’s most current American Community Survey 4 data, as of 2015, approximately 2,829 non-citizen immigrants residing in Maryland are from 5 countries subject to the ban set forth in Section 2(c) of the Second Executive Order. The non- 6 citizen immigrants who are Maryland residents include 1,930 persons from Iran, 93 from 7 Libya, 152 from Somalia, 344 from Sudan, and 310 from Syria. 8 76. The Maryland Office for Refugees and Asylees (“MORA”), a state agency 9 operating pursuant to a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of State, has helped 10 more than 40,000 refugees make Maryland their home. MORA works through a network of 11 public and private service providers to plan, administer, and coordinate transitional services 12 aimed at helping refugees become self-sufficient contributors to the national and local 13 economy as quickly as possible. According to MORA’s records, during the five-year period 14 ending September 30, 2016, 1,121 refugees from the countries designated in Section 2(c) of 15 Second Executive Order were resettled in Maryland, including 404 refugees from Syria. 16 77. Maryland is home to non-profit organizations that provide services to refugees 17 and immigrants in Maryland and throughout the world. The Second Executive Order directly 18 impacts the ability of those organizations to fulfill their mission. For example, the International 19 Rescue Committee, located in Baltimore, Maryland since 1990, contracts with the federal 20 government to assist with refugee resettlements. Among those persons the Committee has 21 helped with resettlement are at least 10,000 refugees in Baltimore and 4,000 in Silver Spring, 22 Maryland. The Committee’s clients have included 400 Syrian refugees. The Committee 23 currently has 70 recipients of its services waiting for asylum, and it is anticipated that the 24 Executive Order will cause delays in processing applications. Some as yet unknown portion of 25 the Committee’s 70 Maryland employees may be facing unemployment as a result of the 26 Second Executive Order. SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 21 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 Also directly impacted by the Second Executive Order is World Relief, a Baltimore- 2 based non-profit organization that helps resettle refugees. It announced on February 16, 2017 3 that it will lay off more than 140 staff as a result of the provision in the First Executive Order 4 allowing fewer refugees to enter the United States. The Second Executive Order contains the 5 same provision. World Relief will close five offices across the country, including one in Glen 6 Burnie, Maryland. The organization employed 741 people in 2014, according to its latest tax 7 filing. 8 78. The Second Executive Order will also adversely impact economic investment in 9 Maryland by foreign investors. For example, the First Executive Order already has hindered 10 the planned construction of a data center in Hagerstown, Maryland, developed by a permanent 11 resident from Iran, with funding to be supplied by $50 million raised from 20 Iranian citizens. 12 Though the necessary real property has been acquired and design of the improvements has 13 begun, the First Executive Order prompted the Iranian investors to withdraw their informal 14 commitments. 15 79. In addition to its quasi-sovereign interest, Maryland has an interest in the 16 subject matter of this suit both as the proprietor of various facilities, institutions, and entities 17 that will be adversely impacted by the Second Executive Order and as a taxing entity that 18 stands to lose revenue from persons denied admission or dissuaded from travelling due to the 19 Second Executive Order and from businesses that serve such persons. Among the most 20 significant of these interests is the State of Maryland’s proprietary interest in securing the best 21 possible employees. Maryland agencies and institutions of higher education, including the 22 University System of Maryland, employ a number of people from the countries subject to the 23 ban set forth in Section 2(c) of the Second Executive Order. 24 80. The Second Executive Order will have a direct and substantial impact on the 25 State of Maryland’s 14 state universities and colleges and their faculty, staff and students who 26 are foreign-born. SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 22 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 81. Maryland’s flagship state university, the University of Maryland College Park 2 (“UMCP”), currently enrolls more than 6,100 international students and employs 3 approximately 1,500 international faculty from 137 countries. Each year, UMCP sends more 4 than 2,000 students abroad to more than 60 countries. It currently has 273 active international 5 agreements with more than 213 partners in 53 countries. According to the 2016 NAFSA 6 Association of International Educators report, international students contribute $150 million 7 annually to UMCP in payments for tuition, housing, and academic materials. 8 82. The implementation of the Second Executive Order directly impairs UMCP’s 9 ability to carry out its mission of teaching, research, and support for the State’s economic 10 development. It will prevent some students and faculty from traveling for academic activities 11 and will impede some students’ academic progress and the progress of scholarly research. It 12 will also prevent students from seeing family members, including visits for graduation and 13 other significant events. It is already causing anxiety, depression, and alienation among 14 international members of the campus community. 15 83. UMCP students from the designated six countries whose visas have expired or 16 will soon expire will not be eligible to apply for new visas until the 90-day ban has elapsed, 17 thus delaying any travel abroad for academic or personal reasons. The Second Executive Order 18 likely will delay the return to UMCP of a student who has already applied for renewal of his 19 expired student visa. That process typically requires a 90-day waiting period. If this student’s 20 visa is not issued prior to the effective date of the Second Executive Order, the 90-day ban will 21 increase his wait time to return to the United States to 180 days, thus impeding his academic 22 progress and the University research in which he is engaged. 23 84. The Second Executive Order also poses a significant chilling effect on other 24 out-of-country faculty and students who fear traveling abroad due to the possibility that they 25 will be denied reentry. Even UMCP students with valid visas have expressed hesitancy to 26 travel abroad for fear that they will be subjected to heightened scrutiny upon their return to the SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 23 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 United States, or that there may be additional executive orders forthcoming that will affect 2 their immigration status. 3 85. Due to the anxiety generated by the Second Executive Order, UMCP has 4 mobilized a team of professionals to provide special counseling services and has engaged legal 5 counsel specializing in immigration. 6 86. The Second Executive Order also threatens enrollment at UMCP. Nearly 400 7 individuals from the six countries subject to the Second Executive Order’s ban have submitted 8 applications for Fall 2017 admission. More than 90% are from Iran. If just half of these 9 students are admitted and accepted but choose not to attend UMCP because of the Second 10 Executive Order’s chilling effect, UMCP will incur a revenue loss of approximately $1.6 11 million for academic year 2017-18. 12 87. The Second Executive Order also will adversely impact other publicly funded 13 institutions of higher education and the people they serve. For example, Baltimore City 14 Community College (“BCCC”), a State-sponsored community college, maintains a Refugee 15 Youth Project that currently serves 92 students from the six countries affected by the Second 16 Executive Order. Of those students, 54 are from Syria, 36 are from Sudan and two are from 17 Somalia. A relative of a member of the BCCC community, a woman from Syria, was separated 18 from her husband during their transition, and he remains stranded in Jordan. She filed an 19 application with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (“USCIS”) for him to 20 be reunited with her in the U.S. but because he is a Syrian national, it is unclear if the couple’s 21 application will be processed at this time. 22 88. Students at private universities in Maryland also are impacted by the Second 23 Executive Order. As one example, the Johns Hopkins University is a private, not-for-profit 24 institution of higher education located primarily in Baltimore, Maryland. Johns Hopkins has 25 over 5,000 international students from more than 125 different countries, and over 1,350 26 international scholars from more than 85 different countries. Johns Hopkins has more than 70 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 24 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 students and scholars from the six countries that are the subject of the Second Executive 2 Order. 3 4 5 6 COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSSETTS 89. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, represented by and through its Attorney General, is a sovereign State of the United States. 90. Massachusetts joins this litigation as a Plaintiff following issuance of the 7 Second Executive Order. Massachusetts suffered harm as a result of the First Executive Order 8 and will continue to suffer injuries from the Second Executive Order. 9 91. Massachusetts is home to more than one million immigrants, hosts tens of 10 thousands of international students, and welcomes approximately two thousand refugees each 11 year. According to the 2015 American Community Survey: 5,371 Massachusetts residents 12 were born in Iran; 2,202 in Syria; 743 in Sudan; 33 in Yemen; and 2,353 in Somalia. In 2015 13 alone, the Commonwealth accepted hundreds of new refugees and asylees from the affected 14 countries. It is the policy of Massachusetts “to promote the full participation of refugees and 15 immigrants as self-sufficient individuals and families in the economic, social, and civic life of 16 the commonwealth.” Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 6, § 205. 17 92. Massachusetts has a significant interest in treating its residents equally, as 18 required by its constitution and laws, and in ensuring that its residents are not excluded from 19 the benefits that flow from participation in the federal system, including the rights and 20 privileges secured by the U.S. Constitution and federal law. 21 sovereign interest in protecting the health, safety, and well-being of all its residents, including 22 against the special harms caused by discrimination based on race, religion, and national origin. 23 93. Massachusetts also has a Massachusetts is also home to hundreds, if not thousands, of small businesses, 24 large corporations, non-profit organizations, public and private hospitals, and colleges and 25 universities that will be affected by the Executive Orders. These institutions employ and enroll 26 individuals from the affected countries and rely on their expertise, skill, labor, and other SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 25 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 contributions to the State’s civic society and economy. These institutions also engage in a 2 constant exchange of information, personnel, and ideas with international partners and 3 collaborators. Such exchanges with institutions, organizations, businesses, and persons in the 4 six affected countries will be hampered or precluded altogether by the Executive Order. 5 94. The Second Executive Order will thus affect these organizations’ operations and 6 productivity, in turn adversely affecting Massachusetts’ overall competitiveness, including vis- 7 à-vis international competitors who will become more attractive locations for investment, 8 conferences, meetings, and other engines of economic growth. In turn, these harms will reduce 9 Massachusetts’ tax and other revenues. 10 95. The Second Executive Order will also harm Massachusetts by decreasing travel 11 to the State by students, scholars, tourists, and business travelers. Every person who forgoes a 12 trip to Massachusetts means hotel bookings cancelled, meals not purchased, retail purchases 13 not made, and related taxes not collected. These outcomes will harm Massachusetts’ economy 14 as a whole and will immediately decrease state tax and other revenues. 15 96. In higher education and the health care industry in particular, Massachusetts 16 depends upon the unique specialized knowledge and experience of foreign nationals, including 17 from the affected countries, such as doctors, scholars, teachers, and other contributors to these 18 institutions. 19 97. Massachusetts supports an extensive system of twenty-nine public colleges and 20 universities, including the University of Massachusetts (“UMass”). One in ten households in 21 Massachusetts has a direct connection to UMass, given its 360,000 students, alumni, or 22 employees residing in the state. UMass graduates 17,000 students per year, with 30 percent in 23 Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (“STEM”) fields, and spends $632 million 24 annually on research. 25 26 98. UMass currently has approximately 130 employees from the six affected countries who are neither lawful permanent residents nor U.S. citizens, including professors, SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 26 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 researchers, and postdoctoral fellows across a wide variety of academic departments. To the 2 extent these employees hold expired or single-entry visas, they now face unprecedented delays 3 in the renewal of their visas, precluding them from international travel—whether for personal 4 reasons or to fulfill professional obligations—during the implementation of the entry ban. 5 99. The Second Executive Order’s 90-day entry ban also coincides with the peak 6 period of the hiring season, during which UMass is interviewing top candidates and extending 7 offers to faculty for the 2017-2018 year. Because of the Second Executive Order, UMass may 8 be unable to hire top-ranked potential faculty, lecturers, or visiting scholars from the affected 9 countries, because the Second Executive Order may preclude them from reaching the United 10 11 States to fulfill their teaching obligations. 100. UMass has approximately 155 graduate and undergraduate students who are 12 nationals of the affected countries and who are neither legal permanent residents nor U.S. 13 citizens. Approximately 100 of these students are among the University’s 130 visa-holding 14 employees, including, for example, graduate teaching and research assistants. The Second 15 Executive Order jeopardizes the continued enrollment of these current students, who may face 16 unprecedented delays in the renewal of visas due to the implementation of the Second 17 Executive Order. These students may also be effectively precluded from traveling outside the 18 United States, because the entry ban threatens their ability to return. 19 101. UMass also regularly receives applications from prospective students who are 20 nationals of the affected countries. Indeed, although the admissions process is on-going, 21 UMass has already extended at least 40 offers of admission for the 2017-2018 academic year 22 to prospective undergraduate and graduate students who are nationals of these countries. 23 Admitted students in the affected countries who are unable to obtain a visa on or before March 24 15, 2017, will likely be unable to matriculate at UMass, or at any other college or university in 25 the United States, for the 2017-2018 academic year. 26 PLAINTIFF STATE OF NEW YORK SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 27 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 2 3 102. The State of New York, represented by and through its Attorney General, is a sovereign state of the United States. 103. According to the most recent American Community Survey, New York has 4 more than 4.4 million foreign-born residents, more than 13,000 of whom were born in one of 5 the six countries named in the Second Executive Order. Approximately two percent of New 6 Yorkers (just under 400,000) identify as Muslim. 7 104. New York joins this litigation as a Plaintiff following issuance of the Second 8 Executive Order. New York suffered harm as a result of the First Executive Order and will 9 continue to suffer injuries from the Second Executive Order. 10 105. The Second Executive Order hampers the ability of colleges and universities in 11 New York State—including the City University of New York (“CUNY”), State University of 12 New York (“SUNY”), and Rochester Institute of Technology (“RIT”)—to recruit, accept, and 13 retain top international students and scholars from anywhere in the world, and to promote the 14 exchange of ideas across international boundaries. CUNY currently enrolls more than 8,000 15 international students from over 100 countries, including more than 850 students born in the 16 affected countries. SUNY enrolls more than 22,000 international students from 160 different 17 countries, including approximately 232 students from the six designated countries. As a result 18 of the Second Executive Order, many scholars and students from Muslim-majority countries 19 now have reservations about relocating to the United States. CUNY’s Graduate School, for 20 example, expects the yield on its outstanding offers to applicants to decline as a result of the 21 uncertainty that just-admitted students from the affected countries face over their ability to 22 travel to the United States. 23 106. The Second Executive Order also interferes with the ability of New York-based 24 scholars and students to travel for research and to participate in international programs. CUNY 25 students from Muslim-majority countries are afraid to travel abroad, including for study-abroad 26 programs, because they fear being unable to return to the United States. CUNY’s Spitzer SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 28 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 School of Architecture at City College already has suspended a partnership with institutions in 2 Mexico City because the School cannot risk sending its students outside the United States 3 when some may not be able to return. The uncertainty created by the Second Executive Order 4 means that study-abroad programs dependent on minimum levels of enrollment will find it 5 more difficult to meet critical targets, which will cause program cancellations and deny 6 irreplaceable educational experiences to New York-based students. 7 107. The international students and faculty who are directly affected by the Second 8 Executive Order substantially contribute to New York State’s economy. Based on information 9 from Open Doors and the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Institute of International 10 Education estimates that in 2015, international students from the six designated countries who 11 were enrolled in New York State institutions contributed $28.8 million to New York State’s 12 economy, which includes direct payments for tuition and fees and living expenses, and 13 excludes indirect economic benefits such as contributions of international students and scholars 14 to innovation in academic and medical research. 15 108. The Second Executive Order also harms health care institutions in the State, 16 which rely on foreign nationals—including those from the six designated countries—to 17 provide health care to New Yorkers, and to train and teach the next generation of medical 18 professionals in New York. According to the Immigrant Doctors Project, about 550 doctors 19 who trained in the six designated countries provide 1.1 million medical appointments each year 20 in New York State. The Greater New York Hospital Association (“GNYHA”) reports that 80 21 member hospitals in the State employ 72 physician trainees and 38 other health care workers 22 who have nonimmigrant visas from the six designated countries. 23 109. The uncertainty created by the Second Executive Order—and its January 27, 24 2017, predecessor—is already having a negative effect on New York hospitals participating in 25 this year’s National Residency Matching Program (“the Match”). Some hospitals are reluctant 26 to highly rank some of their best candidates, who are from foreign countries (including the six SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 29 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 designated countries), because it will be very difficult to fill a vacant residency position after 2 the Match. Hospitals that take the risk of highly ranking foreign nationals from the affected 3 countries may successfully match with foreign nationals who will not be allowed to begin 4 training and serving patients in New York on July 1, 2017. If the matching foreign nationals 5 cannot obtain visas, the hospitals will be forced to identify other, potentially less-qualified, 6 candidates from the remaining applicants who have not been matched. 7 110. New York’s “safety-net” hospitals—i.e., those in one of 97 medically 8 underserved communities in New York with high-need populations—rely particularly heavily 9 on foreign national resident physicians. For example, of the 91 resident physicians in the 10 Department of Internal Medicine at Interfaith Medical Center, a safety-net hospital in 11 Brooklyn, 43 are on H-1B visas, 12 are on J-l visas, and 20 are legal permanent residents. 12 Interfaith’s medical staff includes four Sudanese residents who are concerned about leaving the 13 country for fear of not being allowed to return, and whose family members may not be able to 14 visit them here because of the Second Executive Order. 15 111. The Committee of Interns and Residents (“CIR”) reports that CIR members 16 who are foreign nationals of non-designated nations with large Muslim populations have 17 inundated CIR’s counsel with calls, expressing concern that the Executive Orders will be 18 expanded to include their countries of origin. As CIR’s experience shows, the Second 19 Executive Order has made foreign nationals fearful about coming to New York to train and 20 work. This has significant public health implications for New York as even the shortage of one 21 physician can have a significant impact on safety-net hospitals and the patients they treat. 22 112. The Second Executive Order also endangers critical research being conducted 23 by New York-based foreign nationals from the designated countries, including research into 24 techniques to diagnose kidney cancer at early stages, drug candidates for diabetes, and 25 treatments for leukemia. The ban is forcing these New York-based scientists to choose between 26 continuing their life-saving research and being able to see their family members who are still in SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 30 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 the designated countries. A postdoctoral research fellow studying leukemia also is fearful that 2 she will not be able to renew her visa when it expires next year. And a scientist working on 3 diabetes drugs cannot leave the United States on her single-entry F1 student visa because she 4 would risk being unable to return to her research and her fiancé if she left. 5 113. The Second Executive Order also hurts New York State’s tourism industry, 6 which is the fourth largest employer in the State. In 2015, the tourism industry sustained 7 764,072 jobs, provided workers with a total income of $33.1 billion, and generated $8 billion 8 in state and local taxes—saving each household an average of $1,100 in taxes; overseas 9 travelers accounted for 30 percent ($19 billion) of the tourism spending supporting those 10 economic benefits. In New York City alone, the tourism industry supported more than 362,000 11 waged and salaried employees in 2015. 12 114. The Second Executive Order already is chilling foreign nationals from visiting 13 New York State, and could cost the State and its residents hundreds of millions of dollars in 14 lost revenue. For the first time in seven years, New York City officials are expecting a drop in 15 the number of foreign visitors. New York City now expects to draw 300,000 fewer foreigners 16 this year than in 2016, a decline that will cost New York City businesses at least $600 million 17 in sales. Smaller cities such as Ithaca also anticipate a decline in tourism revenues as would-be 18 foreign tourists have contacted the Chamber of Commerce to inform the Chamber that 19 President Trump’s Executive Orders have caused them to cancel plans to attend and visit 20 Ithaca-regional events and attractions. 21 115. The Second Executive Order harms New York companies by—among other 22 things—interfering with business travel and undermining the ability of New York companies 23 to recruit top talent from countries with significant Muslim populations, putting those 24 companies at a disadvantage in the competitive international hiring market. For example, 25 Kickstarter—the world’s largest funding platform for creative projects—is concerned that the 26 Second Executive Order will impede travel to Kickstarter-hosted events for creators around the SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 31 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 world, including the approximately 50 current creators who live in a Muslim-majority country. 2 Meetup, one of the largest networks of local community groups in the world, has among its 3 employees 12 visa-holders who are now worried about their future status in this country. 4 MongoDB, a database software company, employs 700 individuals in 27 offices across 13 5 countries; the Second Executive Order hinders MongoDB’s efforts to serve customers and 6 users around the world and to recruit internationally. The non-citizen employees of Casper 7 Sleep Inc., an e-commerce seller of mattresses and other sleep-related products, worry about 8 what is coming next, making it difficult for them to focus on their work. 9 116. Etsy, a global creative commerce platform, currently employs more than 175 10 employees outside the United States, some of whom may be prevented from traveling to and 11 from Etsy’s U.S.-based offices as a result of the Second Executive Order. Moreover, the 12 Second Executive Order has caused Etsy employees of the Muslim faith to feel ostracized. The 13 same issue has surfaced at ATM World Corp., which operates 4,500 Automated Teller Machines 14 (“ATMs”), and services approximately 2,000 Yemeni-owned businesses across the five boroughs 15 of New York City. Many of the company’s employees are uncomfortable traveling throughout the 16 city to service customers because the anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim rhetoric surrounding the 17 Second Executive Order and its predecessor makes them fearful about being targeted based on 18 their background and religion. 19 117. The Second Executive Order separates New York residents from their family 20 members in the designated countries. Rabyaah Althaibani, a Yemeni-American community 21 organizer with U.S. citizenship, knows many New York City residents who now face 22 uncertainty as to their ability to travel outside the United States and to be re-united with family 23 members abroad. Ms. Althaibani’s own husband, a Yemeni national and journalist, is currently 24 stranded in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Another Yemeni-American U.S. citizen and New York 25 resident, Abdo Elfgeeh, fears that he will not be reunited with his wife and four children, who 26 are in Sana’a, Yemen. Both Ms. Althaibani and Mr. Elfgeeh have filed an I-130 Petition for SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 32 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 Alien Relative on behalf of their family members, and have already had interviews with 2 USCIS; Ms. Athaibani was even told her husband’s petition was approved. But the Executive 3 Order’s 90-day ban on Yemeni nationals entering the United States has put their applications in 4 limbo. 5 118. The Second Executive Order’s suspension of the USRAP directly harms 6 refugees residing in New York. As of the Second Executive Order’s issuance, the United States 7 had already vetted 60,000 individuals for resettlement in the country. These refugees are now 8 stranded in crisis zones, even though they have established to the satisfaction of consular 9 officers that their lives are in danger and they pose no threat to the United States. 10 119. In 2016, New York received 5,830 refugees, of whom 44 were refugees from 11 Iran, one was a refugee from Libya, 989 were refugees from Somalia, 141 were refugees from 12 Sudan, seven were refugees from Yemen, and 803 were refugees from Syria. Some refugee 13 families have been separated because their members obtained refugee status at different times. 14 120. In addition, the suspension of the USRAP interferes with the ability of refugee 15 resettlement organizations in New York State to fulfill their mission. Such agencies include the 16 International Rescue Committee (“IRC”) in New York; the Rochester-based Catholic Family 17 Center; Catholic Charities Tompkins/Tioga Immigrant Services Program; and the International 18 Institute of Buffalo. For example, the IRC in New York has 25 cases (56 people) in its pipeline 19 waiting for resettlement in New York, from countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, El 20 Salvador and Cuba. However, as a result of the Second Executive Order’s limits on USRAP, 21 these people may not be resettled. Similarly, arrangements for the arrival in Ithaca of at least 22 three refugee families were impeded by the First Executive Order, and the Second Executive 23 Order has further delayed the arrival of these families by at least four months. 24 121. The Second Executive Order’s reduction in the number of refugee arrivals this 25 fiscal year (ending September 30, 2017) from 110,000 to 50,000 translates into funding cuts 26 and staff layoffs for refugee resettlement organizations. This will, in turn, jeopardize the SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 33 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 capacity of these organizations to provide essential services—such as English-language 2 instruction and job skills training—to refugees who are already in the State. A decrease in the 3 number of arriving refugees also may negatively affect employers, such as in Rochester where 4 Kraft, Wegmans Food Markets, and the University of Rochester have a practice of hiring 5 refugees. The reduction also will hurt local economies as landlords will rent out fewer 6 apartments and retailers will make fewer sales. 7 122. Finally, the Second Executive Order causes fear and uncertainty for refugees 8 about their legal status, rights, and future in the United States, and thus reintroduces the type of 9 persecutory and government-instilled fear that caused these refugees to flee their countries of 10 origin in the first place. 11 12 PLAINTIFF STATE OF OREGON 123. The State of Oregon joins this action to protect its residents, its employers, its 13 agencies, its educational institutions, and its state constitution and laws against both the First 14 and Second Executive Orders, which harm the State, its economy, its institutions, its families, 15 its laws, and its sovereign interest in serving as a welcoming home to people from all over the 16 world. The Governor is the State’s chief executive officer and is responsible for overseeing the 17 State’s operations and ensuring that its laws are faithfully executed. The Attorney General is 18 the State’s chief legal adviser whose powers and duties include acting in federal court on 19 matters of public concern. 20 124. According to the American Community Survey data from the U.S. Census 21 Bureau, as of 2015, thousands of Oregon residents were born in Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, 22 Syria, and Yemen. Oregon’s companies employ immigrants, refugees, and others who would 23 be affected by the ban in more indirect ways (spouses of immigrants, for example). Threats to 24 Oregon’s companies will result in serious risks to Oregon’s financial investments, its credit 25 rating, its companies, and its tax revenue from those companies and their employees. 26 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 34 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 125. Portland International Airport, located in Portland, Oregon, served over 670,000 2 international travelers in 2016. It has been estimated that international travelers from just one 3 major airline contribute over $172 million in business revenue to Oregon. The Second 4 Executive Order will cause significant economic injury to Oregon by interfering with 5 international travel and deterring international travelers from coming to Oregon. 6 126. Since 2010, more than 8,500 refugees have arrived in Oregon; two of the six 7 most common refugee groups come from Iran and Somalia. After a refugee is granted legal 8 status and permission to enter the U.S., state agencies and community organizations handle the 9 “resettlement and acculturation process.” The Federal Office of Refugee Resettlement provides 10 up to eight months of cash and medical assistance. Those federal funds are administered 11 through the Oregon Department of Human Services. 12 127. A number of organizations—including Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon, 13 Catholic Charities of Oregon, and the Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization— 14 assist hundreds of refugees with resettlement in Oregon every year. If refugees are no longer 15 permitted to enter the United States for 120 days or longer, these organizations may lose 16 federal funding and may have to lay off some or all of their staff. For example, even if the ban 17 lasts just 120 days, Catholic Charities stands to lose between $200,000 and $350,000 in 18 funding and is already considering reducing its workforce by almost half. The State of Oregon 19 will accordingly lose the income taxes that were paid as a result of those jobs existing in 20 Oregon. 21 128. The University of Oregon (“UO”) is a public research university with more than 22 3,000 students from countries other than the United States, including the countries affected by 23 the First and Second Executive Orders. International students typically pay substantially more 24 than in-state students; those students pay more than $100 million in tuition each year, in total. 25 This tuition allows UO to subsidize Oregon students, who pay about three times less than 26 international students. Even students from outside the immediately affected countries have SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 35 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 expressed a loss of enthusiasm for the prospect of studying in the United States. UO’s 2 Admissions Department has already seen a 15 percent decrease in applications from 3 international students. UO is also facing the likely loss of participants in two international 4 conferences already scheduled for UO campuses, because attendees and international schools 5 are hesitant to schedule travel to the United States. 6 129. Portland State University (PSU) is a public research university with nearly 7 2,000 students from countries other than the United States, including the countries affected by 8 the First and Second Executive Orders. Approximately $33 million of PSU’s tuition and fee 9 revenue in academic year 2015-16 was derived from international students. The First 10 Executive Order already had an adverse impact on, among others, a visiting researcher who 11 traveled to Finland over the winter break and was prevented from returning and continuing his 12 research, and a recent graduate who was unable to return to PSU to present his research at PSU 13 with his graduate advisor. The presentation will likely occur outside the country now, which 14 requires PSU to bear the cost of having the research presented in another country. 15 130. Oregon State University (OSU) has 3,529 international students enrolled, 16 comprising more than 11 percent of its student body and including students who are citizens of 17 the countries affected by the First and Second Executive Orders. As with other students from 18 outside Oregon, those students typically pay full non-resident rates; OSU’s international 19 students represent approximately $85 million in annual gross tuition revenue to OSU. OSU’s 20 efforts to address the effects of the First Executive Order and, now, the Second Executive 21 Order on its students and faculty are draining away time and resources that otherwise would be 22 spent on other community needs. 23 131. Other public and private schools face similar harms. For example, Lewis & 24 Clark College, a private institution in Portland, has more than 200 international students. Like 25 the First Executive Order, the Second Executive Order will harm the college’s ability to attract 26 and retain students from the countries subject to the immigration ban, and are likely to have a SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 36 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 chilling effect on Lewis & Clark’s ability to recruit international students, causing both fiscal 2 harm (loss of tuition) and harm to the college’s ability to foster a diverse and global student 3 body. 4 132. Oregon Health & Sciences University (“OHSU”), a public academic medical 5 center, had at least 15 individuals at its campus from the seven countries affected by the First 6 Executive Order: six students, two post-doctoral fellows, one professor, and six medical 7 residents. Many of these individuals remain affected by the Second Executive Order. The 8 school is expecting two more post-doctoral fellows from Iran. The medical residents are 9 performing critically needed medical care in the fields of surgery, pathology, and cardiology; if 10 they left the country due to the effects of the First or Second Executive Orders, OHSU likely 11 would not be able to replace them. 12 133. The Second Executive Order will also harm Oregon’s ability to recruit doctors, 13 particular in rural and underserved areas. Oregon depends on international medical graduates 14 who have been given a J-1 visa to complete a medical residency or fellowship in the United 15 States. A stipulation of the J-1 visa is that, upon completion of training, the physicians must 16 return to their home country for two years, but this requirement may be “waived” for a 17 physician willing to work in a shortage area. Since 2002, approximately 320 J-1 visa 18 physicians have practiced in Oregon, including 15 physicians from the countries affected by 19 the First Executive Order. As required by the visa, these physicians serve regions such as rural 20 areas of southern and eastern Oregon that have difficulty recruiting physicians domestically, 21 particularly physicians who are willing to accept the Oregon Health Plan or Medicare payment. 22 Currently, a physician from Iran is practicing in underserved areas. Without J-1 visa 23 physicians, Oregon patients will have to either delay treatment or travel farther to obtain it, 24 resulting in additional Oregon Health Plan and Medicare costs to the State. 25 26 134. There is a great deal of competition to obtain physicians willing to work on the J-1 program. In the past, Oregon has been unable to fill all of its 30 available slots, and the SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 37 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 Second Executive Order will make this even more difficult. Already, one physician from a 2 country affected by the First Executive Order who had been willing to work in Florence, 3 Oregon, an area affected by a physician shortage, has indicated through his counsel that 4 because of the First Executive Order, he was unlikely to obtain a visa. Oregon has not received 5 any information that this situation has changed. 6 135. The uncertainty created by the First and Second Executive Orders are causing 7 additional workload, costs, and delay for the Oregon Health Authority in ensuring successful 8 placement and employment of J-1 visa physicians. Even with a waiver of the requirement to 9 return home, a J-1 visa physician must obtain an H-1B visa to remain in the United States. 10 USCIS recently announced that it would end “premium processing” of these H-1B requests, so 11 it will now take four to eight months—rather than just a couple of weeks—to process such a 12 request. The Oregon Health Authority is proactively reaching out to employers and prospective 13 employers to update them about the new difficulties in recruiting J-1 waiver physicians. 14 15 16 17 DEFENDANTS 136.

IV. 8 9 10 11 ALLEGATIONS President Trump’s Campaign Promise: “[A] Total and Complete Shutdown of Muslims entering the United States” 141. Prior to his election, Donald Trump campaigned on the promise that he would ban Muslims from entering the United States. On July 11, 2015, candidate Trump stated in a 12 speech in Las Vegas that, “If you’re from Syria and you’re a Christian, you cannot come into 13 this country, and they’re the ones that are being decimated. If you are Islamic … it’s hard to 14 believe, you can come so easily.” (See Louis Jacobson, Donald Trump says if you’re from 15 Syria and a Christian, you can’t come to the U.S. as a refugee, Politifact (July 20, 2015) 16 17 18 available at http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/jul/20/donaldtrump/donald-trump-says-if-youre-syria-and-christianyou-/ , attached hereto as Exhibit 3). 142. On December 7, 2015, candidate Trump issued a press release calling for “a 19 total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.” As of the date of this 20 filing, the press release remains available on Trump’s campaign website. (See Donald J. Trump 21 22 23 24 25 Campaign, Donald J. Trump Statement on Preventing Muslim Immigration (Dec. 7, 2015) available at www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/donald-j.-trump-statement-on-preventingmuslim-immigration , attached hereto as Exhibit 4). 143. In defending his decision shortly thereafter, candidate Trump compared the Muslim ban to former President Franklin Roosevelt’s decision to intern Japanese Americans 26 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 39 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 during World War II, and stated, “This is a president highly respected by all, [Roosevelt] did 2 the same thing.” (See Jenna Johnson, Donald Trump says he is not bothered by comparisons to 3 Hitler, The Washington Post (Dec. 8, 2015) available at https://www.washingtonpost.com/new 4 s/post-politics/wp/2015/12/08/donald-trump-says-he-is-not-bothered-by-comparisons-to- 5 hitler/?utm_term=.8182339a69c3 , attached hereto as Exhibit 5). 6 144. When a news reporter further asked candidate Trump what the customs process 7 would look like for a Muslim non-citizen attempting to enter the United States, candidate 8 Trump stated, “[T]hey would say, ‘are you Muslim?’” And, if they said they were Muslim, 9 candidate Trump confirmed they would not be allowed into the country. (See Nick Gass, 10 Trump not bothered by comparisons to Hitler, Politico (Dec. 8, 2015) available at 11 http://www.politico.com/trump-muslims-shutdown-hitler-comparison , attached hereto as 12 Exhibit 6). 13 145. When asked during the Republican primary debate on January 14, 2016, 14 whether he wanted to rethink his position regarding Muslims entering the country, candidate 15 Trump said, “No.” (See The American Presidency Project, Presidential Candidates Debates: 16 Republican Debate in North Charleston, South Carolina at 16 (Jan. 14, 2016) available at 17 http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=111395 , attached hereto as Exhibit 7). 18 146. In February 2016, candidate Trump asked Lieutenant General Michael Flynn to 19 advise him on a range of issues, including national security and foreign policy. That same 20 month, Lt. Gen. Flynn posted the following message (“tweet”) on his Twitter account: “Fear of 21 Muslims is RATIONAL: please forward this to others: the truth fears no questions…” and 22 linked to a YouTube video that argues Islamophobia is an oxymoron. Lt. Gen. Flynn would 23 later become Trump’s National Security Advisor. The February 2016 tweet is available at the 24 following link: https://mobile.twitter.com/genflynn/status/703387702998278144?lang=en, 25 attached hereto as Exhibit 8). 26 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 40 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 147. On March 9, 2016, candidate Trump stated during an interview with Anderson 2 Cooper that he “think[s] Islam hates us.” See Anderson Cooper 360 Degrees: Exclusive 3 Interview with Donald Trump at 17 (CNN television broadcast, Mar. 9, 2016) available at 4 http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1603/09/acd.01.html , attached hereto as Exhibit 9). 5 148. On June 13, 2016, candidate Trump reiterated his promise to ban all Muslims 6 entering this country until we “as a nation . . . are in a position to properly and perfectly screen 7 those people coming into our country.” (See Read Donald Trump’s Speech on the Orlando 8 Shooting, Time, at 2 (Jun 13, 2016) available at http://time.com/4367120/orlando-shooting- 9 donald-trump-transcript/, attached hereto as Exhibit 10). 10 149. On July 17, 2016, candidate Trump and Vice Presidential candidate Mike Pence 11 appeared on 60 Minutes and were interviewed by Lesley Stahl. After Ms. Stahl referenced 12 Mike Pence’s December 2015 tweet stating a Muslim ban would be offensive and 13 unconstitutional, candidate Trump stated: “So you call it territories. OK? We’re gonna do 14 territories. We’re not gonna let people come in from Syria that nobody knows who they are.” 15 When Ms. Stahl asked candidate Trump if he was changing his position on the Muslim ban, 16 candidate Trump stated, “—No, I—call it whatever you want. We’ll call it territories, OK?” 17 When Ms. Stahl further asked whether he no longer included Muslims, candidate Trump 18 stated, “You know—the Constitution, there’s nothing like it. But it doesn’t necessarily give us 19 the right to commit suicide, as a country, OK? And I’ll tell you this. Call it whatever you want, 20 change territories [sic], but there are territories and terror states and terror nations that we’re 21 not gonna allow the people to come into our country.” (See 60 Minutes, CBS News at 10 (July 22 17, 2016) available at http://www.cbsnews.com/news/60-minutes-trump-pence-republican- 23 ticket/, attached hereto as Exhibit 11). 24 150. Asked again during a July 24, 2016, interview about whether he was “backing 25 off on his Muslim ban[],” candidate Trump stated, “I actually don’t think it’s a pull-back. In 26 fact, you could say it’s an expansion.” He further stated, “I’m looking now at territories. SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 41 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 People were so upset when I used the word Muslim.

And I’m okay with that, because I’m talking territory instead of Muslim.” (See 3 Meet the Press – July 24, 2016, NBC News at 1 (July 24, 2016) available at 4 http://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/meet-press-july-24-2016-n615706 , attached hereto 5 as Exhibit 12). 6 151. In a foreign policy speech delivered on August 15, 2016, candidate Trump 7 noted that the United States could not “adequate[ly] screen[]” immigrants because it admits 8 “about 100,000 permanent immigrants from the Middle East every year.” Candidate Trump 9 proposed creating an ideological screening test for immigration applicants, which would 10 “screen out any who have hostile attitudes towards our country or its principles – or who 11 believe that Sharia law should supplant American law.” During the speech, he referred to his 12 proposal as “extreme, extreme vetting.” (See Donald Trump Foreign Policy Speech in 13 Youngstown, C-SPAN (Aug. 15, 2016) available at https://www.c-span.org/video/?413977- 14 1/donald-trump-delivers-foreign-policy-address ) (quoted remarks at 50:46). 15 152. On October 9, 2016, candidate Trump was asked during the St. Louis 16 presidential debate to explain whether or not his proposed Muslim ban still applied. Candidate 17 Trump replied: “It’s called extreme vetting.” (See The American Presidency Project, 18 Presidential Debates: Presidential Debate at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri at 9 19 (October 9, 2016) available at http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=119038 , 20 attached hereto as Exhibit 13). 21 153. On December 21, 2016, President-Elect Trump was asked whether he had 22 decided to “rethink or re-evaulate [his] plans to create a Muslim registry or ban Muslim 23 immigration to the United States.” President-Elect Trump responded by stating, “You know 24 my plans. All along, I’ve been proven to be right.” (See President-Elect Trump Remarks in 25 Palm Beach, Florida, C-SPAN (Dec. 21, 2016) available at https://www.c- 26 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 42 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 span.org/video/?420583-101/presidentelect-trump-speaks-reporters-palm-beach-florida 2 attached hereto as Exhibit 14). 3 4 , President Trump Issues the First Executive Order 154. On January 20, 2017, Donald Trump was inaugurated as the President of the 5 United States. In his first television interview as President, on January 25, 2017, he again 6 referred to his commitment to “extreme vetting.” (See ABC News Anchor David Muir 7 Interviews 8 http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/transcript-abc-news-anchor-david-muir-interviews- 9 president/story?id=45047602 , attached hereto as Exhibit 15). 10 155. President Trump, ABC News at 13 (Jan. 25, 2017) available at On January 27, 2017, one week after being sworn in, President Trump signed 11 Executive Order 13769 entitled, “Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the 12 United States” (“First Executive Order”). The First Executive Order directed a series of 13 changes to the manner in which non-citizens may seek and obtain entry to the United States. 14 156. Section 3(c) of the First Executive Order proclaimed that entry of immigrants 15 and nonimmigrants from countries referred to in section 217(a)(12) of the Immigration and 16 Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1187(a)(12), i.e., Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and 17 Yemen, “would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.” The First Executive Order 18 “suspend[ed] entry into the United States, as immigrants and nonimmigrants, of such persons 19 for 90 days from the date of this order”—and provided for the possibility that the suspension 20 could be extended. The majority of the population in each of these seven countries is Muslim. 21 157. Sections 5(a)–(b) of the First Executive Order suspended the USRAP in its 22 entirety for 120 days and then, upon its resumption, directed the Secretary of State to prioritize 23 refugees who claim religious-based persecution, “provided that the religion of the individual is 24 a minority religion in the individual’s country of nationality.” 25 26 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 43 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 158. Section 5(c) of the First Executive Order proclaimed that entry of Syrian 2 refugees is “detrimental to the interests of the United States” and suspended their entry 3 indefinitely. 4 159. In a January 27, 2017, interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, 5 President Trump confirmed his intent to prioritize Christians in the Middle East for admission 6 as refugees. President Trump stated, “Do you know if you were a Christian in Syria it was 7 impossible, at least very tough to get into the United States? If you were a Muslim you could 8 come in, but if you were a Christian, it was almost impossible and the reason that was so 9 unfair, everybody was persecuted in all fairness, but they were chopping off the heads of 10 everybody but more so the Christians. And I thought it was very, very unfair. So we are going 11 to help them.” (See Brody File Exclusive: President Trump Says Persecuted Christians Will Be 12 Given Priority As Refugees, Christian Broadcasting Network at 8 (Jan. 27, 2017) available at 13 http://www1.cbn.com/thebrodyfile/archive/2017/01/27/brody-file-exclusive-president-trump- 14 says-persecuted-christians-will-be-given-priority-as-refugees , attached hereto as Exhibit 16). 15 160. During a signing ceremony for the First Executive Order on January 27, 2017, 16 President Trump read its title and stated, “We all know what that means.” (See Trump Signs 17 Executive 18 http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/video/trump-signs-executive-orders-pentagon-45099173 19 (quoted remarks at 0:45)). President Trump stated that the purpose of the First Executive Order 20 was to “establish[] new vetting measures to keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the United 21 States of America.” (See Sarah Pulliam Bailey, Trump Signs order limiting refugee entry, says 22 he will prioritize Christian refugees, The Washington Post (Jan. 27, 2017) available at 23 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2017/01/27/we-dont-want-them-there- 24 trump-signs-order-limiting-refugee-entry/?utm_term=.db861d9642ea, 25 Exhibit 17). Orders at Pentagon, ABC News (Jan. 27, 2017), attached available hereto at as 26 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 44 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 161. That same day, a Deputy Assistant Secretary for Visa Services at the U.S. 2 Department of State, Edward J. Ramotowski, issued a letter which, subject to limited 3 exceptions, “provisionally revoke[d] all valid nonimmigrant and immigrant visas of nationals 4 of Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen.” The letter is attached hereto as 5 Exhibit 18. 6 162. Also that day, the U.S. Department of State and some U.S. embassies and 7 consulates abroad posted a notice online advising immigrant visa applicants that visa issuance 8 had been suspended and visa interviews cancelled. The online notice is attached hereto as 9 Exhibit 19. A copy of the notice posted in the U.S. embassy in Iraq is attached hereto as 10 Exhibit 20. 11 163. On January 28, 2017, a spokeswoman for DHS stated that lawful permanent 12 residents, or green card holders, would be barred from entry pursuant to the Executive Order. 13 (See Green card holders will need additional screening: White House, Reuters (Jan. 29, 2017) 14 available at http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-immigration-greencard- 15 idUSKBN15C0KX , attached hereto as Exhibit 21). 16 164. On January 29, 2017, DHS apparently reversed its decision through a statement 17 by Secretary Kelly that suggested, while the First Executive Order did apply to lawful 18 permanent residents, DHS had determined lawful permanent residents should be admitted 19 through an exception because their admission was in the public interest. (See U.S. Dep’t of 20 Homeland Security, Statement by Secretary John Kelly on the Entry of Lawful Permanent 21 Residents into the United States (Jan. 29, 2017) available at https://www.dhs.gov/news/2 22 017/01/29/statement-secretary-john-kelly-entry-lawful-permanent-residents-united-states, 23 attached hereto as Exhibit 22). 24 165. Two days later, on January 31, 2017, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, a 25 DHS sub-agency, issued a statement that repeated Secretary Kelly’s earlier statement. (See 26 U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 45 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 the United States (Jan. 31, 2017) available at https://www.cbp.gov/border-security/protecting- 2 nation-foreign-terrorist-entry-united-states, attached hereto as Exhibit 23) However, it also 3 confirmed in its “Questions and Answers” section that the First Executive Order applies to 4 lawful permanent residents and that their entry would depend on receipt of a “national interest 5 waiver[] consistent with the provisions of the [First] Executive Order.” (See U.S. Customs and 6 Border Protection, Q&A for Executive Order: Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist 7 Entry into the United States (Feb. 2, 2017), attached hereto as Exhibit 24). 8 9 10 11 166. On February 1, 2017, White House Counsel Donald McGahn issued a Memorandum purporting to offer “Authoritative Guidance” that lawful permanent residents were never covered by Sections 3 and 5 of the First Executive Order. See ECF No. 50-1. 167. On January 29, 2017, President Trump issued a statement defending the First 12 Executive Order, stating “[t]his is not a Muslim ban.” (See President Donald J. Trump 13 Statement Regarding Recent Executive Order Concerning Extreme Vetting (Jan. 29, 2017) 14 available 15 trump-statement-regarding-recent-executive-order, attached hereto as Exhibit 25). 16 168. at https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/01/29/president-donald-j- President Trump’s statement conflicted with the statement made by his 17 cybersecurity advisor the day before. In an interview with Fox News on January 28, 2017, 18 Rudolph Giuliani confirmed that the First Executive Order was crafted to be a “legal” ban on 19 Muslims. Specifically, Giuliani stated that President Trump asked him for a “Muslim ban” and 20 instructed Giuliani to “put a commission together” to “show [Trump] the right way to do it 21 legally.” (See Amy B. Wang, Trump asked for a ‘Muslim Ban,’ Giuliani says – and ordered a 22 commission to do it ‘legally’, The Washington Post (Jan. 29, 2017) available at 23 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/01/29/trump-asked-for-a-muslim-ban- 24 giuliani-says-and-ordered-a-commission-to-do-it-legally/?utm_term=.6ce151a30f4c, 25 hereto as Exhibit 26).

SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 46 attached ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 169. On January 30, 2017, President Trump defended the timing of the First 2 Executive Order. President Trump tweeted, “If the ban were announced with a one week 3 notice, the ‘bad’ would rush into our country during that week.” See Donald J. Trump 4 (@realDonaldTrump), 5 https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/826060143825666051, attached hereto as Exhibit 6 27). 7 170. Twitter (Jan. 30, 2017, 5:31am ET), available at Several reports released by the federal government demonstrate that it did not 8 further its stated purpose. For example, a draft report prepared at the request of the DHS 9 Acting Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis concluded that citizenship was “unlikely 10 to be an indicator” of terrorism threats against the United States. Released on February 25, 11 2017, the draft report found that citizens of the seven countries targeted in President Trump’s 12 First Executive Order were “rarely implicated” in U.S.-based terrorism. Specifically, the DHS 13 report determined that at least 82 people were inspired by a foreign terrorist group to carry out 14 or attempt to carry out an attack in the United States since March 2011. Of those 82 people, 15 more than half were native-born U.S. citizens, and the remaining persons were from 26 16 countries—with the most individuals originating from Pakistan. Of the seven countries 17 included in the First Executive Order, only Somalia and Iraq were on the list of “top” origin 18 countries. (See Vivian Salama & Alicia A. Caldwell, AP Exclusive: DHS report disputes threat 19 from banned nations, Associated Press (Feb. 24, 2017), available at 20 http://bigstory.ap.org/article/39f1f8e4ceed4a30a4570f693291c866/dhs-intel-report-disputes- 21 threat-posed-travel-ban-nations, attached hereto as Exhibit 28 (including a hyperlink to the 22 draft report, which is also attached hereto as Exhibit 29); see also U.S. Department of 23 Homeland Security, Intelligence Assessment: Most Foreign-born, US-based Violent Extremists 24 Radicalized after Entering Homeland; Opportunities for Tailored CVE Programs Exist 25 (March 1, 2017), available at http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2017/images/03/03/dhs.intell.assess 26 ment.pdf, attached hereto as Exhibit 30). SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 47 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 171. According to one report, not a single fatal terrorist attack has been perpetrated 2 in the United States by a national of one of these seven countries since at least 1975. (See Alex 3 Nowrasteh, Little National Security Benefit to Trump’s Executive Order on Immigration, Cato 4 Institute Blog (Jan. 25, 2017, 3:31pm ET) available at https://www.cato.org/blog/little- 5 national-security-benefit-trumps-executive-order-immigration, attached hereto as Exhibit 31). 6 Other countries whose nationals have perpetrated fatal terrorist attacks in the United States 7 were not part of the First Exectuive Order. (See Scott Schane, Immigration Ban Is Unlikely to 8 Reduce Terrorist Threat, Experts Say, N.Y.Times (Jan. 28, 2017) available at 9 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/28/us/politics/a-sweeping-order-unlikely-to-reduce- 10 11 terrorist-threat.html , attached hereto as Exhibit 32). 172. On February 3, 2017, this Court issued a temporary restraining order (“TRO”) 12 precluding Defendants from implementing Sections 3(a), 5(a)-(c), and 5(e) of the First 13 Executive Order. Defendants appealed this Court’s TRO to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 14 Ninth Circuit, which construed the TRO as a preliminary injunction. 15 173. On February 6, 2017, ten former national security, foreign policy, and 16 intelligence officials including Madeline Albright, Avril D. Haines, Michael Hayden, John 17 Kerry, John McLaughlin, Lisa O. Monaco, Michael J. Morell, Janet A. Napolitano, Leon E. 18 Panetta, and Susan Rice, submitted a declaration before the Ninth Circuit, stating: “We all 19 are…unaware of any specific threat that would justify the travel ban established by the [First] 20 Executive Order.” Further, the former officials stated “there is no national security purpose for 21 a total bar on entry for aliens” and warned that the First Executive Order “could do long-term 22 damage to our national security.” (See Washington v. Trump, Case No. 17-35105, ECF No. 28- 23 2 at 3 (9th Cir., Feb. 6, 2017)). 24 174. On February 9, 2017, the Ninth Circuit issued a per curiam opinion denying 25 Defendants’ emergency motion for a stay of this Court’s order. On February 14, 2017, this 26 Court agreed that the Ninth Circuit had construed the TRO as a preliminary injunction. SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 48 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 175. During the week that the First Executive Order was in full effect, Defendants 2 detained or removed at least 100 people entering the United States pursuant to the First 3 Executive Order, including lawful permanent residents, U.S.-based residents returning from 4 visits abroad, and others with valid visas to visit family in the United States. In addition, 5 pursuant to the First Executive Order, the State Department revoked approximately 60,000 6 visas. (See Adam Kelsey et al., 60,000 Visas Revoked Since Immigration Executive Order 7 Signed: State Department, ABC News (Feb. 3, 2017, 6:32 PM ET), available at 8 http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/60000-visas-revoked-immigration-executive-order-signed- 9 state/story?id=45254827, attached hereto as Exhibit 33). 10 11 Second Executive Order 176. On February 16, 2017, Defendants filed a brief in the Ninth Circuit advising the 12 court that “the President intends in the near future to rescind the [First Executive] Order and 13 replace it with a new, substantially revised Executive Order.” (See Appellants’ Supplemental 14 Brief on En Banc consideration at 4, Washington v. Trump, No. 17-35105 (Feb. 16, 2017), 15 ECF No. 154.) 16 177. That same day, President Trump held a press conference. At the press 17 conference, President Trump stated that his executive actions simply fulfilled his campaign 18 promises and indicated a new “comprehensive” executive order would issue shortly. 19 Specifically, President Trump stated: “ [Politicians] lie[] to the American people in order to get 20 elected. Some of the things I’m doing probably aren’t popular but they’re necessary for 21 security and for other reasons. . . . I’m here following through on what I pledged to do. That’s 22 all I’m doing.” 23 conference, annotated, The Washington Post at 4, 6-7, (Feb. 16, 2017) available at 24 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/02/16/donald-trumps-grievance-filled- 25 press-conference-annotated/?utm_term=.c3b469f082bb, attached hereto as Exhibit 34).

At the same press conference, President Trump stated: “We have taken decisive 2 action to keep radical Islamic terrorists out of our country. No parts [that] are necessary and 3 constitutional actions were blocked by judges, in my opinion, incorrect, and unsafe ruling. Our 4 administration is working night and day to keep you safe, including reporters safe. And is 5 vigorously defending this lawful order. I will not back down from defending our country. I got 6 elected on defense of our country. I keep my campaign promises, and our citizens will be very 7 happy when they see the result. They already are, I can tell you that. Extreme vetting will be 8 put in place, and it already is in place in many places.” 9 179. On February 21, 2017, President Trump’s senior policy advisor, Stephen Miller, 10 confirmed the new executive order would have “mostly minor technical differences.” Mr. 11 Miller further indicated the intent behind the new executive order would not change. 12 Specifically, Mr. Miller stated, “you’re still going to have the same basic policy outcome for 13 the country, but you’re going to be responsive to a lot of very technical issues that were 14 brought up by the court and those will be addressed.” See Miller: New order will be responsive 15 to judicial ruling; Rep. Don DeSantis: Congress has gotten off to a slow start at 2 (Feb. 21, 16 2017) available at http://www.foxnews.com/transcript/2017/02/21/miller-new-order-will-be- 17 responsive-to-judicial-ruling-rep-ron-desantis/ , attached hereto as Exhibit 35). 18 180. On February 27, 2017, the White House Press Secretary, Sean Spicer, was 19 asked why the President continued to defend the First Executive Order instead of rescinding it. 20 Mr. Spicer answered: “[T]he manner in which [the First Executive Order] was done in the first 21 place was what we believe and continue to believe was the right way to address this problem. 22 And while the second executive order attempts to address the court’s concerns that they made, 23 the goal is obviously to maintain the way that we did it the first time . . .”. (See Press Briefing 24 by Press Secretary Sean Spicer, 2/27/2017, #17, The White House at 26-27 (Feb. 27, 2017) 25 available at https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/02/27/press-briefing-press- 26 secretary-sean-spicer-2272017-17 , attached hereto as Exhibit 36). SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 50 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 181. On March 6, 2017, the White House revoked its January 27, 2017 Executive 2 Order and issued Executive Order 13780 (“Second Executive Order”). This Second Executive 3 Order is again titled “Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United 4 States” and has an effective date of March 16, 2017. (See ECF No. 108-1). 5 182. Section 2(c) of the Second Executive Order suspends the “entry into the United 6 States of nationals of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen”—six of the seven 7 countries targeted in the First Executive Order—for a period of 90 days. Like the First 8 Executive Order, the Second Executive Order provides for possible expansion of the ban 9 beyond 90 days and to nationals from additional countries. 10 183. Under Section 3, the suspension of entry pursuant to Section 2 applies only to 11 foreign nationals of the designated countries who: (i) are outside the United States on the 12 effective date of this order, (ii) did not have a valid visa at 5:00 p.m. EST on the date of the 13 First Executive Order, and (iii) do not have a valid visa on the effective date of this order. 14 184. Section 3 also provides for various “exceptions” and potential “waivers” to 15 Section 2’s suspension. It confers discretion on certain federal officials to decide on a “case- 16 by-case basis” to allow entry to certain foreign nationals otherwise barred by Section 2. There 17 are no instructions, forms, or other process available by which to obtain a waiver under Section 18 3. Section 3 excepts lawful permanent residents, visa-holders, dual nationals traveling on 19 passports issued by a non-designated country or on diplomatic visas, and foreign nationals who 20 have been granted asylum as well as refugees who have been admitted to the United States. 21 185. Section 6(a) of the Second Executive Order suspends the “travel” of all refugees 22 to the United States and all decisions by DHS on applications for refugee status for a period of 23 120 days. Again, the Second Executive Order provides for an expansion of the ban beyond 120 24 days where it is determined that countries have failed to implement the “additional procedures” 25 identified by Defendants as necessary “to ensure the security and welfare of the United States.” 26 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 51 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 186. Section 6(b) of the Second Executive Order suspends the entry of more than 2 50,000 refugees for fiscal year 2017. In September 2016, after consultation with the Congress, 3 President Obama determined that up to 110,000 refugees would be admitted during fiscal year 4 2017. 5 187. Also on March 6, 2017, DHS published a “Q&A” document with answers to 6 questions about the Second Executive Order. (See Department of Homeland Security, Q&A: 7 Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry to the United States (Mar. 6, 2017, 11:30 8 AM ET) available at https://www.dhs.gov/news/2017/03/06/qa-protecting-nation-foreign- 9 terrorist-entry-united-states , attached hereto as Exhibit 37). 10 188. In that “Q&A,” DHS states that nationals from one of the six targeted countries 11 currently present in the United States on a single-entry visa will have to obtain a new valid visa 12 in order to leave and return to the United States. Likewise, DHS states that students and 13 exchange visitors from the six designated countries who are currently present in the United 14 States—and their related U.S.-based dependents—will have to obtain a new valid visa in order 15 to leave and return to the United States, if their visas expire while the Second Executive Order 16 is in place. (See id. at 4, 13). 17 189. Also, on March 6, 2017, President Trump issued a memorandum titled 18 “Implementing Immediate Heightened Screening and Vetting of Applications for Visas and 19 Other Immigration Benefits.” In the memorandum, President Trump ordered the State 20 Department, DHS, and the Attorney General to “implement protocols and procedures as soon 21 as practicable that in their judgment will enhance the screening and vetting of applications for 22 visas and all other immigration benefits” while the Second Executive Order is implemented. 23 (See The White House, Memorandum for the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, the 24 Secretary of Homeland Security, (Mar. 6, 2017) available at https://www.whitehouse.gov/the- 25 press-office/2017/03/06/memorandum-secretary-state-attorney-general-secretary-homeland- 26 security , attached hereto as Exhibit 38). SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 52 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 190. The same day President Trump issued the Second Executive Order, his 2 campaign issued a fundraising e-mail. In it, President Trump requested support for the Second 3 Executive Order and the fight against “radical Islamic terrorism,” and stated, “I will NEVER 4 stop fighting until we implement the policies you—and millions of Americans like you—voted 5 for.” (See Matt Zapotosky, et. at., Revised executive order bans travelers from six Muslim- 6 majority countries from getting visas, The Wash.

On March 7, 2017, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer confirmed the 11 purpose of the Second Executive Order was for President Trump to fulfill his campaign 12 promise. Mr. Spicer stated: “President Trump yesterday continue [sic] to deliver . . . his . . . 13 campaign promise[]: protecting the country against radical Islamic terrorism.” (See Press 14 Briefing by Press Secretary Sean Spicer, 3/7/2017, #18, The White House at 2 (Mar. 7, 2017) 15 available 16 secretary-sean-spicer-372017-18, attached hereto as Exhibit 40). 17 192. at https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/03/07/press-briefing-press- On March 10, 2017, more than 130 foreign policy experts addressed President 18 Trump in an open letter, concluding that the Second Executive Order is just as “damaging” to 19 the United States’ interests as the First Executive Order. Representing foreign policy experts 20 under both Republican and Democratic administrations, they observed that, even though Iraq 21 was left off the Second Executive Order’s six-country ban, Iraqis will remain in harm’s way 22 due to the 120-day suspension of refugees. (See Letter from Foreign Policy Experts on Travel 23 Ban, N.Y.

FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION (Fifth Amendment – Equal Protection) 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 194. of the preceding paragraphs of this Second Amended Complaint. 195. 23 24 25 The Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment prohibits the federal government from denying equal protection of the laws. 196. Sections 3 and 5 of the First Executive Order, as well as Sections 2 and 6 of the Second Executive Order, together with statements made by Defendants concerning their intent and application, target individuals for discriminatory treatment based on their country of origin and/or religion, without lawful justification. 197. Both the First Executive Order and the Second Executive Order were motivated by animus and a desire to harm a particular group. 198. The discriminatory terms and application of the First Executive Order and the Second Executive Order are arbitrary and cannot be sufficiently justified by federal interests. 199. Through their actions above, Defendants have violated the equal protection guarantee of the Fifth Amendment. 200. Defendants’ violation causes ongoing harm to the States and their residents. VI. SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION (First Amendment – Establishment Clause) 21 22 The States reallege and incorporate by reference the allegations set forth in each 201.

The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment prohibits the federal government from officially preferring one religion over another. 26 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 54 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 203. Sections 3 and 5 of the First Executive Order, as well as Sections 2 and 6 of the 2 Second Executive Order, together with statements made by Defendants concerning their intent 3 and application, are intended to disfavor Islam and favor Christianity. 4 5 6 204. Through their actions above, Defendants have violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. 205. Defendants’ violation causes ongoing harm to the States and their residents. 7 VII. THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION (Fifth Amendment – Procedural Due Process) 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 206. of the preceding paragraphs of this Second Amended Complaint. 207. 24 The Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment prohibits the federal government from depriving individuals of their liberty interests without due process of law. 208. Where Congress has granted statutory rights and authorized procedures applicable to arriving and present non-citizens, minimum due process rights attach to those statutory rights. 209. Sections 3 and 5 of the First Executive Order, as well as Sections 2 and 6 of the Second Executive Order, conflict with the statutory rights and procedures directed by Congress. In issuing and implementing the First Executive Order and the Second Executive Order, Defendants have violated the procedural due process guarantees of the Fifth Amendment. 210. Defendants’ violation causes ongoing harm to the States and their residents. VIII. FOURTH CAUSE OF ACTION (Immigration and Nationality Act) 22 23 The States reallege and incorporate by reference the allegations set forth in each 211. The States reallege and incorporate by reference the allegations set forth in each of the preceding paragraphs of this Second Amended Complaint. 25 26 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 55 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 212. Section 8 of Article I of the U.S. constitution bestows Congress with exclusive 2 authority over our immigration laws. Congress has laid down the country’s immigration laws 3 in the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”), as codified under Title 8 of the United States 4 Code 5 213. The INA is a multi-faceted and complex immigration structure. It sets forth 6 specific prohibitions, as well as explicit requirements and detailed processes, related to the 7 country’s issuance of visas and refugee programs. 8 9 214. For example, 8 U.S.C. § 1152(a)(1)(A), prohibits discrimination in the issuance of immigrant visas on the basis of race, nationality, place of birth, or place of residence. 10 215. 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(15)(U) creates a category of visas for noncitizens who are 11 victims of specified crimes and assist U.S. law enforcement in the prosecution of criminal 12 cases (“U-visa”). The same provision also creates a category of visas for the noncitizen 13 victim’s family members, even if the family member is living abroad (“U-visa derivative”). 8 14 C.F.R. 214.14(f)(6)(ii) sets forth the process for petitioning for a U-visa derivative for a family 15 member outside the United States. 16 216. 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(15)(T) creates a category of visas for noncitizens who are 17 victims of severe forms of human trafficking and their family members (“T-visa”). The same 18 provision also creates a category of visas for the noncitizen victim’s family members, even if 19 the family member is living abroad (“T-visa derivative”). 8 C.F.R. 214.11(k)(9)(ii) sets forth 20 the process for petitioning for a T-visa derivative for a family member outside the United 21 States. 22 217. 8 U.S.C. § 1157 sets forth the admission procedures for refugees, specifically. 23 Section 1157(a) requires the numerical limitation on refugees be set by the President only after 24 “appropriate consultation” with Congress. 25 26 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 56 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 218. Sections 3 and 5 of the First Executive Order, as well as Sections 2 and 6 of the 2 Second Executive Order, together with statements made by Defendants concerning their intent 3 and application, violate the INA. 4 219. Together, the provisions discriminate on the basis of race, nationality, place of 5 birth, and/or place of residence in the issuance of visas, suspend the refugee program without 6 appropriate consultation with Congress, and otherwise contravene the INA’s complex 7 immigration structure. 8 220. Defendants’ violation causes ongoing harm to the States and their residents. 9 IX. FIFTH CAUSE OF ACTION (Religious Freedom Restoration Act) 10 221. The States reallege and incorporate by reference the allegations set forth in each 11 of the preceding paragraphs of this Second Amended Complaint. 12 222. The Religious Freedom Restoration Act, 42 U.S.C. § 2000bb-1(a), prohibits the 13 federal government from substantially burdening the exercise of religion, even if the burden 14 results from a rule of general applicability. 15 223. Section 3 of the First Executive Order, as well as Section 2 of the Second 16 Executive Order, if implemented, will result in substantial burdens on the exercise of religion 17 by non-citizen immigrants by, for example, preventing them from exercising their religion 18 while in detention, returning to their religious communities in the States, and/or taking 19 upcoming, planned religious travel abroad. Such burdens on religion violate the Religious 20 Freedom Restoration Act. 21 224. Sections 3 and 5 of the First Executive Order, as well as Sections 2 and 6 of the 22 Second Executive Order, also will result in substantial burdens on the exercise of religion by 23 individuals and religious organizations that provide services to refugees and immigrants as part 24 of their religious beliefs/mission. 25 225. Defendants’ violation causes ongoing harm to the States and their residents. 26 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 57 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 X. SIXTH CAUSE OF ACTION (Procedural Violation of the Administrative Procedure Act) 2 226. The States reallege and incorporate by reference the allegations set forth in each 3 of the preceding paragraphs of this Second Amended Complaint. 4 227. The Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. §§ 553 and 706(2)(D), requires that 5 federal agencies conduct formal rule making before engaging in action that impacts substantive 6 rights. 7 228. In implementing Sections 3 and 5 of the First Executive Order, as well as 8 Sections 2 and 6 of the Second Executive Order, federal agencies changed the substantive 9 criteria by which individuals from affected countries may enter the United States. Federal 10 agencies did not follow the procedures required by the Administrative Procedure Act before 11 taking action impacting these substantive rights. 12 229. Through their actions above, Defendants have violated the Administrative 13 Procedure Act. 14 230. Defendants’ violation causes ongoing harm to the States and their residents. 15 XI. SEVENTH CAUSE OF ACTION (Substantive Violation of the Administrative Procedure Act) 16 17 18 19 20 21 231. The States reallege and incorporate by reference the allegations set forth in each of the preceding paragraphs of this Second Amended Complaint. 232. The Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. § 706(2), prohibits federal agency action that is arbitrary, unconstitutional, and contrary to statute. 233. Neither the First Executive Order nor the Second Executive Order is authorized 22 by the INA. As alleged herein, both the First Executive Order and the Second Executive Order 23 discriminates on the basis of race, nationality, place of birth, and/or place of residence in the 24 issuance of visas, suspends the refugee program without appropriate consultation with 25 Congress, and otherwise contravenes the INA’s complex immigration structure. 26 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 58 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 234. In implementing Sections 3 and 5 of the First Executive Order, as well as 2 Sections 2 and 6 of the Second Executive Order, federal agencies have taken or will take 3 unconstitutional and unlawful action, as alleged herein, in violation of the Administrative 4 Procedure Act. 5 235. In implementing Sections 3 and 5 of the First Executive Order, as well as 6 Sections 2 and 6 of the Second Executive Order, federal agencies have applied or will apply 7 provisions arbitrarily, in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act. 8 236. 9 Defendants’ violation causes ongoing harm to the States and their residents. XII. 10 237. EIGHTH CAUSE OF ACTION (Tenth Amendment) The States reallege and incorporate by reference the allegations set forth in each 11 of the preceding paragraphs of this First Amended Complaint. 12 238. The Tenth Amendment reserves all powers not enumerated in the Constitution 13 to the states and prohibits the federal government from commandeering state legislative 14 processes. 15 239. The Tenth Amendment prohibits the federal government from directly 16 compelling states to enact and enforce federal law. 17 240. Sections 3 and 5 of the First Executive Order, as well as Sections 2 and 6 of the 18 Second Executive Order, together with statements made by Defendants concerning their intent 19 and application, target individuals for discriminatory treatment based on their country of origin 20 and/or religion, without lawful justification. 21 241. The States and their employers, housing providers, and businesses have long 22 been prohibited by their States’ laws from discriminating against people based on national 23 origin and religion in employment, housing, and in places of public accommodation. 24 25 26 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 59 ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WASHINGTON 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 Seattle, WA 98104-3188 (206) 464-7744 1 242. The First Executive Order and the Second Executive Order effectively mandate 2 that the States engage in discrimination based on national origin and/or religion, thereby 3 rescinding the States’ historic protection of civil rights and religious freedom. 4 243. Through their actions above, Defendants have violated the Tenth Amendment. 5 244. Defendants’ violation causes ongoing harm to the States. 6 7 8 XIII.
