MINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) - The St. Paul City Council on Wednesday approved a resolution condemning Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's call for a ban on Muslims entering the United States. The council voted 6-1 for the resolution which said the city "condemns anti-Muslim, anti-refugee, and anti-immigrant speech from presidential candidate Donald Trump and others." Trump called for a ban on Muslims entering the United States following the mass shooting in San Bernardino, California by a Muslim couple. One member voted against the resolution on free speech grounds. (Reporting by David Bailey; Editing by Cynthia Osterman)
