Professor Larson Comments on Trump Muslim Immigration Ban for American Prospect

Professor Carlton Larson commented for American Prospect regarding the potential for presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump to make good on promises of banning Muslims from entering the country should he be elected. 

Larson said he did not think the courts would accept a ban on all Muslim immigration, but might accept a ban on certain strains of politicized Islam whose beliefs were determined to be a threat to national security. Larson also cautioned that civil liberties are often in danger "if you have people mobilized into a raging froth of hate."

Carlton Larson's research interests focus on constitutional law and legal history, with a strong emphasis on the 18th century.
