“The rule would directly and gravely harm some of our nation’s most vulnerable people — children in foster care, senior citizens, and youth experiencing homelessness,” Laser said.

“When it comes to discrimination based on religion, the Trump administration is saying it’s OK to ignore the Constitution. It’s never OK and we will continue to fight to uphold our core American value of religious freedom.”
