WASHINGTON ― Five Republican members of Congress broke with most of their party and President Donald Trump on Saturday by condemning his executive order to bar refugees and citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries. Ben Sasse (R-Neb. “I urge the admin to halt enforcement of this order until a more thoughtful and deliberate policy can be instated,” Dent, a Trump critic who represents a large Syrian community, told The New York Times’ Jonathan Martin. Sasse said the order was too broad and potentially dangerous, even if it wasn’t technically the blanket Muslim ban that Trump once proposed.
