DailyMail reports:
The president denied that his executive order, which bars refugees and citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the US, was a Muslim ban.
Trump’s comments came as seven refugees bound for the US were stopped from boarding a plane in Cairo on Saturday and 12 migrants were detained in New York overnight because they arrived just after the executive order was signed, prompting a massive protest and a cab strike. Additional reports of dozens of people being stopped from entering the US or booted off airplanes have been pouring in.
‘It’s not a Muslim ban, but we are totally prepared,’ Trump told reporters in the Oval Office Saturday afternoon, according to The Hill.
‘It’s working out very nicely. You see it in the airports, you see it all over. It’s working out very nicely and we are going to have a very, very strict ban and we are going to have extreme vetting, which we should have had in this country for many years.’
Panic broke out after Department of Homeland Security issued a directive at 4:30 pm on Friday enforcing Trump’s executive order to close down the borders to refugees and visa holders from a list of banned Muslim-majority countries.
In addition to Iran, the other countries on Trump’s blacklist are Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia.
Meanwhile, protests are really heating up.
