Confusion Deepens Over Trump's Travel Ban
(POLITICO) - “Uncertainty about President Donald Trump’s “extreme vetting” policies continued to roil travelers, airlines and foreign governments Monday, as U.S. immigration officials made decisions on the fly about how to apply the directives — despite White House attempts to downplay the fallout,” POLITICO’s Ted Hesson and Jennifer Scholtes report.
Three days in, “lawyers were still struggling to reach clients being questioned at U.S. ports of entry,” they write. “Meanwhile, customs agents were handling entries for green-card holders on a case-by-case basis, and European governments were giving conflicting instructions to people with dual nationalities — both topics on which the Trump administration had sent decidedly mixed signals.”
