Trump Has Made an Executive Order to Ban Muslim Immigration

 

By Anthony Hines

​

Trump began his weekend with an executive order to stop immigration. The countries involved are considered heavily muslim countries and they are Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and Syria. Green card or not, if someone is from those countries, they may not enter the United States. Many citizens are being detained when they land at airports across the country, which is considered international land.
 

However, for those who were detained, the ban was temporarily lifted by the federal court to let them enter, as well as those that were still in transit. Republicans and Democrats alike are against the bans, as most of those countries haven’t done anything wrong. Many have pointed out how the few countries not banned, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, Trump has his own businesses in. More importantly to the people, these countries had terrorist that helped with the 9/11 attacks. Either way, the ban is only temporary, and will be lifted after a few months.
