Calls for a "total and complete shutdown" of Muslims entering the U.S.

In a formal campaign statement titled "Statement on Preventing Muslim Immigration" released on Dec. 7, 2015, Trump declared that he was calling for a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States" after the San Bernardino attack and claimed that "hatred" among Muslims was "beyond comprehension," framing blanket religious exclusion as a security measure while ignoring the civil-rights and constitutional implications.
