Attorney General Jackley Joins Support of President Trump’s Immigration Travel Restrictions for Eight Heightened Security Countries
PIERRE, S.D. – Attorney General Marty Jackley has joined 14 State Attorneys General and the Governors of Maine and Mississippi in a lawsuit supporting the President’s Proclamation suspending the entry of aliens from eight countries with a heightened national security risk into the United States.
“Our Nation’s inconsistent immigration policy is affecting our public safety and workforce in South Dakota. I am supporting President Trump’s temporary suspension of aliens from eight countries identified as posing a heightened national security risk. It is time for Congress to address our public safety and workforce needs with a comprehensive immigration policy,” said Jackley.
The Proclamation’s travel restrictions classify aliens by nationality and not religion. The Attorneys General argue that the challenged Proclamation is a lawful exercise of the President’s broad authority to suspend the entry of any class of aliens from the following countries:
• The eight covered countries- Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela, Yemen, and Somalia- are identified as “Countries of Identified Concern,” from which entry is suspended or limited as “detrimental to the interest of the United States.” The Proclamation restricts aliens that were outside the U.S. on the effective date of the Proclamation and who did not have a valid visa on the effective date of the Proclamation. It also applies to aliens who did not have a visa that was cancelled or revoked under an Executive Order issued on January 27, 2017.
The President’s Proclamation has been challenged, and the 12 State Attorneys General and Governor of Maine have weighed in to support the action taken to protect the public and our national security. The State Attorneys General and Governor argue they “have a significant interest in protecting their residents’ safety. But because the States possess no authority to restrict or set the terms of aliens’ entry into the United States for public safety and national-security reasons, the States and their elected officials rely on the federal Executive Branch to carry out that function, pursuant to the laws of Congress.
Is Marty J. Jackley calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on?
Xenophobia flu is mutating and spreading.
Pretty sure Marty is against the spread of Islamic Sharia Law xenophobia.
Hope so
Why do they have him looking down at the camera? It would be nice if Jackley looked more comfortable on camera.
Sharia Law where in the USA? Dearborn? Sioux Falls? Redfield?
It’s about to invade west Texas…. Remember how these patriots defeated the Jade Helm invasion?
8:13 – Would you consider FGM honoring Sharia law? That’s happened in MI.
Would you consider honor killings obeying Sharia law? That’s happened in America.
Would you consider a Muslim baker refusing to create a wedding cake for a gay couple respecting Sharia law or our Constitution? Oh, and that happened in Dearborn, MI.
I just want to make sure we’re clear about what Sharia law means to you so we can have a discussion starting close to a similar understanding. I’d answer Sharia law to all 3 questions. I’d also be curious what your thoughts are about instances where Muslims have told US judges they do not recognize American laws or court system? Please, fact check me before you respond. Here’s some help…YouTube Ami Horowitz: America or Somalia – you might be surprised.
Too bad, Anonymous 8:13, I thought we’d be able to have a progressive dialogue about Sharia law being implemented in the USA. You’re not interested?
Hope so
The Tapio voting block must be perceived to be big!! Sadly. He will get 9% and that 9% is what these knuckleheads are fighting for.
Any chance you could talk about Noem trying to undermine Jackley on this lawsuit? She’s been saying a lot of stupid things in the news lately.

Congress: Perhaps surprisingly, there’s also more chatter that lawmakers could decide to weigh in, almost five years after the Senate passed the Marketplace Fairness Act, which would have given states that power to collect from out-of-state companies.
Rep. Kristi Noem (R-S.D.) told the Rapid City Journal last week that President Donald Trump and senior members of his team had agreed to help a push for her online sales tax legislation. (Probably not coincidentally, one of Noem’s rivals for South Dakota governor – Attorney General Marty Jackley – argued the case that’s now before the Supreme Court.) Noem told Morning Tax on Wednesday that the bill could get tacked on to larger must-pass legislation this year. “I’ve been asking those questions all week,” Noem said when asked how Congress might approach the issue, before adding: “It’s got legs.”
Don’t try to act like this whole concept is Marty’s idea. He latched onto it after the state came to an agreement with Amazon.
Marty has yet to show an original idea… does he do anything of his own initiative? He’s a lackey grasping for votes from the far-right.
Hey look it’s Marty, taking credit for something someone else thought up! Why does he put out a release every time some other state’s AG does something, and he merely signs on?
There he goes again with another shot at “congress”. These little jabs Marty thinks are so cute are getting old.
