WASHINGTON—Representatives Eliot L. Engel (D-NY), Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, and Marcy Kaptur (D-OH), Co-Chair of the Congressional Hungarian Caucus, today led a group of Members of Congress in urging President Trump to cancel his planned meeting with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

"Today, Ohio's Southern District Court justly and unanimously ruled for the people of Ohio," said Rep. Kaptur. "Extreme radical partisan gerrymandering is about politicians picking their constituents. In a healthy democracy, constituents should be those who pick their elected leaders. In Ohio, our deeply partisan and illegally drawn districts were gerrymandered by Republicans and for Republicans, not for the people. These districts were drawn without regard for existing communities or counties and purposefully diluted the votes of millions of Ohioans.
