Trump’s travel ban

Trump’s travel ban

January/30 | pm:12:09 / No Comments 354 views

President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled, “Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into the United States”. It shut down the US refugee programme for 120 days, indefinitely suspended the resettlement of Syrian refugees, and halted all immigration to the US from Syria, Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, Sudan and Yemen for 90 days.
The order led to chaos at airports all over the world. Travellers were prevented from boarding planes abroad and, in some cases, were pulled off flights. They were detained at US airports. And there seemed to have been little instructions given to US Customs and Border Patrol on how to handle refugee and immigrant arrivals under the new rules.
