Donald Trump: Executive Order Bans Syrian Refugees and Muslims From 7 Countries

They were exercising religious freedom at a time when many of them fear their civil liberties are in jeopardy in the United States.

The opposition leader also called on Britons to sign a parliamentary petition demanding that Trump be barred from the United Kingdom, which has picked up hundreds of thousands of signatures so far.

Calls to ban Muslims from entering the USA are offensive and unconstitutional.

Passengers have been barred from flights into the USA and visa holders refused entry after Donald Trump imposed strict new controls on travellers from seven Muslim-majority nations.

“Calls to ban Muslims from entering the US are offensive and unconstitutional”, Pence wrote at the time. You see it in the airports, you see it all over.

This ultimately led a federal judge to issue an emergency stay that temporarily permits refugees and others detained or stranded at American airports as a result of the executive order to remain in the USA if they have a valid visa.

‘Donald Trump destroyed my life.

Trump’s executive order follows a campaign promise to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States and review the processes used for allowing refugees in.

“It is wrong to link radicalism and terrorism with one particular religion”, Nasir said.

“I didn’t think it would come to this”, said Aljabiri. “I do not think a Muslim ban is in our country’s interest”.

Hashd al-Sha’abi, the Shia-majority Iraqi volunteer force, which is aiding the military in fighting the terrorists also called on the Iraqi government to react to the ban by preventing USA nationals from entering Iraq and expelling those who are already in the country. We can protect the homeland while upholding #religiousfreedom & refuge for the persecuted.

Senator Rob Portman, a Republican from OH called it an “extreme vetting program that wasn’t properly vetted” on CNN on Sunday, adding that he was glad federal judges had temporarily blocked it. Congress should be involved in any strengthening of the visa process and has already done work on the issue, he said.

“The needs of refugees and migrants worldwide have never been greater and the USA resettlement programme is one of the most important in the world”, the agencies said in a joint statement. “We want to make sure that we are not admitting into our country the very threats our soldiers are fighting overseas”.

The foreign ministry of Indonesia, which is not one of the countries affected by the ban, said it “deeply regretted” Trump’s policy.

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said “the worldwide refugee ban set forth in the executive order is overly broad and implementing it will be immediately problematic”.

“We’re really in a crisis mode, a constitutional crisis mode in our country, and we’re going to need everyone”, Hincapie said. “This kind of thing is causing us great damage right now, and it’s sending shock waves through this worldwide system”.

The order “affects a minor portion of global travellers”, the department said in a statement, saying the measures “inconvenienced” less than 1 per cent of travellers.

Cited by Reuters, two unnamed Iraqi parliamentarians, meanwhile, said Baghdad was to argue with the USA that the travel curbs could affect cooperation against the Takfiri Daesh terror group. Mattis stood by smiling as he did so.

Establishment Republicans’s support for Trump’s executive order may anger liberals, but it is not particularly surprising – the party has largely fallen in line behind their president ever since the election. They see no need to investigate his global business conflicts.

The UN refugee agency and the International Organization for Migration called on Mr Trump to let in those fleeing war and persecution.

HUNDREDS and thousands of fuming Americans have flooded the streets in protest against Donald Trump’s ban on immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries.

She told reporters: “The United States is responsible for the United States’ policy on refugees”.
