Syrian Refugees Banned from Entering US

Syrian Refugees Banned from Entering US
President Trump spent his first week in office signing a series of executive orders, including some controversial travel bans. In addition to temporarily banning travellers from seven countries, Trump indefinitely banned all Syrian refugees. People around the world were quick to call the order a Muslim Ban, since the affected countries were all Muslim-majority nations. Protests erupted in US airports and in streets around the world. The acting US attorney general questioned the legality of the order and told the Justice Department not to defend it. In response, President Trump quickly used his trademark words, “You’re fired.”

1. President Trump signed a lot of executive orders in his first week on the job.
2. Many people are calling his immigration ban a “Muslim Ban” because all of the affected countries are Muslim-majority nations.
3. The report mentions airports because many protests erupted at US airports soon after the ban was announced.
