Trump Expected to Impose Temporary Ban on All Refugees from Entering U.S.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trump is expected to sign more executive orders to continue the
crackdown against immigration, possibly as early as today. The New York
Times reports a draft of an upcoming executive order shows it would
indefinitely ban Syrian refugees from entering the United States, and
impose a temporary ban on all other refugees. The order would also
suspend all immigration from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria
and Yemen. In response, Connecticut Democratic Senator Chris Murphy
tweeted, "We bomb your country, creating a humanitarian nightmare, then
lock you inside. That's a horror movie, not a foreign policy." We'll
have more on the executive orders after headlines.
