On January 27, 2017, President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 13769, titled “Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist
Entry into the United States.” The order lowered the number of refugees to be admitted into the United States in 2017 to 50,000,
suspended the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) for 120 days, suspended the entry of Syrian refugees indefinitely, directed
some cabinet secretaries to suspend entry of those whose countries do not meet adjudication standards under U.S. immigration
law, and included exceptions on a case-by-case basis. Homeland Security lists these countries as Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia,
Sudan, Syria, and Yemen.
Beginning on January 28 thousands of protesters gathered at airports and other locations throughout the United States to protest
the signing of the order and detention of the foreign nationals.
Immediately, there were numerous protests and legal challenges. A nationwide temporary restraining order (TRO) was issued
on February 3, 2017 in the case Washington v. Trump, which was upheld by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth
Circuit on February 9, 2017. Consequently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stopped enforcing portions of the order
and the State Department re-validated visas that had been previously revoked.
