Confusion and consternation as new 'extreme vetting' policy blocks Middle East immigration


“We’ll see you in court, Mr. Trump,” tweeted the ACLU’s national legal director, David Cole, after the writ was filed. The suit, to be filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Virginia, argues that the executive order is unconstitutional because of its apparent aim of singling out Muslims. Lawyers at the department are examining Trump's executive order and drafting instructions for border officials, said a senior U.S .immigration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. Google Chief Executive Sundai Pichar on Friday slammed Trump’s executive order in a memo to employees, saying some 100 employees are affected, and advising employees traveling abroad to reach out to the company’s immigration teams for assistance. Iran’s foreign ministry, condemning the executive order, said Saturday that Iran “reserves the right of reciprocity,” official outlets reported.
