"I have instructed Homeland Security to check people coming into our country VERY CAREFULLY. The courts are making the job very difficult!" Trump wrote on Twitter on Sunday.
On January 27, Trump signed the executive order "Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into the United States". The document blocked refugees coming to the United States for 120 days, indefinitely suspended the entry of Syrian refugees and restricted immigration from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen for 90 days.
The order stirred up controversy in America and in other countries, with thousands of people taking the streets around the world.
