WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — President Donald Trump revised an executive order temporarily suspending immigration from six Muslim-majority nations to address concerns from US courts that the order was discriminatory, Wall said.
"The president went back and, in response to concerns that the courts had raised… revised the order," Wall stated.
Trump removed Iraq from the list of banned nations, took out a provision dealing with religious minorities and changed the indefinite suspension of Syrian refugees in the second executive order, wall explained.
The US government appealed a Maryland court’s blocking of the order, which imposes a 90-day ban on travelers from Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen and freezes Syrian refugee admissions for 120 days.
The second executive order replaced Trump’s original order issued five days after his inauguration.
