President Trump signed a 90-day immigration ban via Executive Order on Friday, which took effect immediately. And shortly afterwards, people began to be detained, especially from seven predominantly Muslim countries.
The result was immediate chaos and confusion, and the filing of at least one lawsuit, which resulted in a partial injunction against the order. Protests were quickly organized at many airports, which compounded the airport problems.
I’m not sure that the White House alerted the Customs and Immigration people that this was in the pipeline. The rank and file appear to have been taken by surprise, which is never a good thing.
A roll-out of this immigration policy should have been done in smaller steps, such as Trump’s first order against Obamacare.
I’m looking at the other issues.
It’s amazing how a page and a half Executive Order can wreak so much havoc almost instantly across the country.
