PEN America On 
As @PENamerica our mission does not encompass immigration rights but we joined the fight against the Muslim Ban on grounds that it violated the 1st Amendment right to receive and impart ideas through international exchange. Proud the battle has been won. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2021/1/20/22235986/biden-trump-travel-muslim-ban
Congrats and thanks to @PressSec for modeling a respectful, candid and fact-based exchange with the media. An important early step in restoring respect for press freedom at home, and rebuilding US leadership on media freedom around the world. https://thehill.com/video/in-the-news/535110-watch-live-jen-psaki-holds-first-white-house-briefing-for-biden
