President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday prohibiting people from seven predominantly-Muslim countries from entering the U.S. over the next 90 days. The countries included in the ban are Somalia, Iran, Libya, Yemen, Sudan, Iraq and Syria.
The president's orders went into effect upon signing the order. Since the executive order was signed, people abroad who have visas allowing them to enter the U.S. are not permitted to travel.

To our Muslim neighbors in the world: I & tens of millions of others are so very sorry. The majority of Americans did not vote 4 this man.

That the President of the United States would order on Holocaust Memorial Day the banning of a people due to their religion is reprehensible
@MMFlint
The 9/11 attackers were from Saudi Arabia, Egypt & UAE--not the 7 nations in the immigration ban. These all do have Trump properties though.
@GeorgeTakei
I have worked for decades on religious tolerance. @realDonaldTrump's Muslim ban is against everything this country was founded on. Shameful.

Going to go out on a limb and say America was greater a week ago.

It's like we're watching history repeat itself but only half the population know how bad it turns out.
