Trump Expected to Issue Revised Travel Ban Today
------------------------------------------------

President Trump is expected to issue a new executive order temporarily
banning all refugees, as well as people from six majority Muslim
countries, from entering the United States. The New York Times reports
the new ban would apply to people from Syria, Sudan, Iran, Somalia,
Libya and Yemen, but not people from Iraq. Iraqis were included in
Trump's first Muslim travel ban, which was blocked by the courts in
February amid massive nationwide protests. Unlike the first ban, the new
executive order is also not expected to apply to people from these
countries with green cards or who already have a visa.
