Protests Continue At Airports Across The US Following Trump Order

Here we explain its implications.

Trump signed an executive order that effectively denies entry to refugees from seven Muslim-majority countries, including those with green cards, who otherwise have permanent residence in the US.

The situation for individuals with dual nationality remains complex.

The order barred USA border agents from removing anyone who arrived in the U.S. with a valid visa from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.

Anyone with USA citizenship, whether that person is natural-born or naturalised.

Karen Tumlin, Los Angeles-based legal director of the National Immigration Law Center, said she was “incredibly relieved” by the stay.

Those travelling from anywhere else – including the United Kingdom – are not affected and will not have to experience extra checks, regardless of their nationality or place of birth.

Heller said this isn’t only happening JFK, but also at other airports around the country.

White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus said that other countries could be added to the list. Anne Frank was refused United States visa; she died in concentration camps. People gathered at Battery Park in Lower Manhattan, within sight of the Statue of Liberty, Boston’s Copley Square as well as popular spots across San Francisco demonstrating and extending their support and solidarity with refugees and those impacted by the ban.

Suspending the entry of all “immigrants and nonimmigrants” from Iraq, Iran, Sudan and Libya for a period of 90 days. Diplomats have been exempted.

What about those travelling via the USA to another place?

And U.S. District Judge Thomas Zilly in Seattle ordered the government not to remove two individuals, who were not identified, pending a Friday hearing.

“As an organization whose membership is largely Muslim, a workforce that’s nearly universally immigrant, and a working-class movement that is rooted in the defense of the oppressed, we say no to this inhumane and unconstitutional ban”, the NYTWA said in a statement. That decision prohibits the removal of green-card holders at Dulles International Airport.

What does the United Kingdom government say about travelling?

Protesters returned to Dallas/Fortworth International Airport on Sunday morning, in a crowd that started off as a few dozen and soon ballooned into hundreds chanting “Set them free!”, NBC DFW reported.

Yesterday Foreign Office officials were rushing to get more information from Washington about how the ban will work.

Reuters reported that Muslim around the world are “furious” over the executive orders and that the us immigration system has been “plunged into chaos” by the orders, which are broadly worded and are being interpreted differently by different agencies and by different divisions within those agencies.

After the 120 days expire, only refugees from countries that have sufficient safeguards in place to guarantee the security and welfare of America will be allowed into the country.

What do the airlines say? Facebook COO and and Lean In author Sheryl Sandberg also broke her silence, taking to Facebook to criticize the order that would bar funding to overseas healthcare providers that give abortion counseling.

British Airways told Quartz that is will refund passengers who are unable to travel to the United States due to the ban.

However, British Airways said it had already offered “affected customers” a refund, or the opportunity to rebook their flight.

After assembling peacefully for almost two hours, a small group within the crowd attempted to rush into the terminal building but was blocked by police officers, airport officials and other protesters urging civility.

More than 10,000 people gathered in Boston (main photo) to hear speakers including Senator Elizabeth Warren of MA, a leader of the Democratic Party’s liberal wing.
