Presidential Executive Order: Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States

|

On March 6, 2017 President Trump signed a new a new Executive Order (EO), called Protecting The Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States, that places limits on travel to the U.S. from certain countries, and by all refugees who do not possess either a visa or valid travel documents. The new EO will revoke and replace the original travel ban/executive order issued January 27, 2017. The original EO caused confusion and led to a national injunction in court in federal court.

The new EO affects the countries of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Iraq, which was listed in the previous travel ban, is exempted in this order. The new EO adds more classes of people directly exempt from temporary immigration bans, provides for case-by-case waivers and gives people affected by the ban 10 days’ notice before the ban’s provisions go into effect on March 16. The EO also recognizes that all green-card holders, dual citizens and current valid visa holders are exempt from the travel ban, and Syrian nationals are included in a 120-day refugee ban.
