On Sunday, an appeals court denied President Trump’s request to immediately restore the travel ban after the Department of Homeland Security suspended all actions to implement it.
I’m concerned terrorists are going to hurry to get into the country while the refugee ban is down. We’re so busy fighting with each other that now is a great time to try to sneak people in.
I don’t agree with all President Trump does, but if you can’t see that he is only trying to protect us, you’re part of the problem. Eric Kenney
Trump is doing more damage to Americans than any Muslim can do or is capable of doing. He thinks he is doing one of his backroom “Art of the Deal” scenarios, where he can intimidate and bully someone.

There is no evidence that suggests the ban will work against terrorism, and it is un-American. No question that it’s wrong. @Citizen_Stephen
The ban tells our enemies that they scare us enough to make us change. It opens us up to greater danger. @LoganMcCray25
President Trump’s ban has zero to do with terrorism. Look at the countries where his conflicts of interest exist. Possible threats! @ChrisRaple
