Executive Order 13769: First Travel Ban

| Trump 45 & 47

Trump signs Executive Order 13769, barring entry from seven Muslim-majority countries (Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen) for 90 days and suspending the refugee admissions program for 120 days. The order causes chaos at airports as travelers mid-flight are detained. Hundreds of lawyers rush to airports to offer pro bono assistance.
