Trump Signs Revised Travel Ban, Excludes Iraq

President Donald Trump signed a revised executive order on Monday, temporarily halting entry into the country for people without valid visas from six predominantly Muslim countries and suspending the United States’ refugee program.

This is a somewhat narrower version of the travel ban the President signed just a week after his inauguration, sparking protests and confusion before it was later blocked by a federal appeals court. Under Monday’s revised order, people from six countries — Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen — who do not have valid visas or green cards will be banned from entering the U.S. for 90 days.
