Congressman Dan Bishop (NC-09) released the following statement on the federal court order issued Saturday enjoining Governor Cooper's ban on religious gatherings:

"Governor Cooper's targeting of North Carolinians of faith, foot-dragging in reopening our state, and utter dismantling of our economy has made his response to the coronavirus among the most extreme in the entire country. Today's ruling confirmed it's even worse than that - an unlawful trampling of our constitutional right to exercise our faith in God.

I applaud the court for rebuking Roy Cooper and restoring religious freedom for the people of North Carolina."
