FORT COLLINS — A Colorado congressman has pledged to support Muslim citizens amid fears about future policies that may be created by president-elect Donald Trump.
reports that U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., on Tuesday met with officials at the Islamic Center for Fort Collins, where he spoke to members of the congregation about their concerns about the future president, including those about a Muslim registry.
Polis, who is Jewish, said Tuesday that he would oppose any faith-based registry and if one were created he would register himself as Muslim as an act of civil disobedience.
While campaigning, Trump said he supported a national Muslim registry for those who immigrated to the United States.
