Titled “Protection of the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States,” the executive order would start to make good on Trump’s promise to tighten borders and halt certain refugees from entering the United States.
The order bars all persons from certain countries from entering the United States for 90 days and suspends the US Refugee Admissions Program for 120 days until it is reinstated “only for nationals of countries for whom” members of Trump’s Cabinet deem can be properly vetted.
The countries impacted are Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia, according to a White House official quoted by CNN.
