CNN is reporting that the State Department is officially reversing VISA cancellations, and DHS has just released a statement about how they’re reacting to the Seattle federal judge’s restraining order:
Here’s more on the VISA cancellations:
A week after President Donald Trump signed an executive order temporarily limiting travel and immigration to the United States from seven countries, around 60,000 visas have been revoked as a result, according to State Department officials.
On Jan. 27, the day the order was signed, an internal State Department notice ordered the provisional revocation of visas from the affected countries: Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
The visas cannot be used for travel during the 90-day review period established by the order, but may again become valid depending upon the outcome of the review.
Trump bashed the “so-called judge” this morning on twitter, and there are already protests popping up against him and his orders.
