An executive order signed by President Donald Trump on Jan. 27 which temporarily bans travel from seven Muslim-majority countries has prompted protests and confusion around the country and locally. Though some have praised the executive order, amid questions of its legality and the manner in which it was implemented, local legislators both Democrat and Republican alike have expressed their skepticism and concern publicly. President Trump cited national security concerns when he signed the order which bans travel from Iraq, Iran, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia for 90 days, suspends all refugee admission for 120 days and bars refugees fleeing the war in Syria from entry to the U.S. indefinitely.
