Immigration and Refugee Ban

President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order that prohibits refugees and people from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States. Since the ban is currently being challenged in the court system, the situation is changing rapidly.

Below are several links that explain the ban and provide up to date information about how it is enforced, who it impacts and other helpful details:
