It wasn’t until Friday — the day Trump signed the order banning travel from seven Muslim-majority countries for 90 days and suspending all refugee admission for 120 days — that career homeland security staff were allowed to see the final details of the order, a person familiar with the matter said.
The result was widespread confusion across the country on Saturday as airports struggled to adjust to the new directives. In New York, two Iraqi nationals sued the federal government after they were detained at John F. Kennedy International Airport, and 10 others were detained as well.

In addition, the United States should not admit those who engage in acts of bigotry or hatred (including "honor" killings, other forms of violence against women, or the persecution of those who practice religions different from their own) or those who would oppress Americans of any race, gender, or sexual orientation." Remember when it was pointed out to Trump that American troops wouldn't kill the families of terrorists because it would be illegal? "They'll do what I tell them to do, believe me." He was advocating violence over American law. Remember when Paul Ryan said Trump was committing "textbook racism?" Trump was advocating "bigotry and hatred." "...other forms of violence against women." Hey, when you're as famous as Trump, you can grab them by the pussy! "...persecution of those who practice religions different from their own..." Hell, isn't that the primary goal of the order? Does Trump actually read these things before he signs them? From the order:
