Private Notes
One week after Donald J. Trump was sworn in, the 45th president of the United States signed an executive order titled "Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into the United States". The order described the new measures as a means to "keep radical Islamic terrorists" out of the US and included a ban on immigrants from 7 Muslim-majority countries, including Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
While the order suspended entry for all citizens of the aforementioned countries for a total of 90 days, it went a step further with banning refugees for an additional month, at 120 days, and barred Syrian refugees from entering the US indefinitely.
