The following is a summary on the affect of the recently implemented U.S. administration's executive order, banning immigration and travel to the United States for millions of individuals from seven majority Muslim countries.
1) Trump's Executive Order
Trump signed an executive order on Friday, January 27 2017 that placed a temporary ban on entry to the U.S. for citizens of seven Muslim nations: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. The 90-day ban expires on April 27, 2017 with a view to giving time for the Trump administration to set up its 'extreme vetting' procedure.
The order also blocked all refugees from entering the U.S. for 120 days, and blocked the entry of refugees from Syria indefinitely. It cut by more than half the number of refugees the U.S. plans to accept in 2017, from 110,000 to 50,000.
The order excluded officials with diplomatic credentials.
