President Trump's March 6, 2017 Executive Order On Immigration

On March 6, 2017, President Trump signed a revised Executive Order, entitled: Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into The United States ("new order"). The new order suspends admission to the United States foreign nationals from six countries for a 90 day period, including: Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. Under the new order, Iraq is no longer included in the list of barred countries as it was in President Trump's first executive order. The new order will go into effect on March 16, 2017, at 12:01 a.m. and it rescinds President Trump's January 27, 2017 Executive Order ("old order") once the new order becomes effective. The new order was released in an attempt to withstand court challenges and delays implementation to avoid the chaos of the old order.
