WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – After losing a recent attempt to get the immigration executive order reinstated, US President Donald Trump is considering other options, including rewriting the language of the controversial order.
On January 27, Trump signed an executive order barring citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from entering the US for 90 days. Moreover, the order prohibited refugees from entering the United States for 120 days and barred indefinitely Syrian refugees indefinitely.
Trump’s executive order was challenged by the state of Washington a few days later, which led to a district judge in Seattle issuing a temporary stay on the executive action. Later, the Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco issued a stay on the stay.
