In Washington, the Trump administration showed no sign early Sunday of backing down from the executive order, despite global outcry and late court orders that immediately blocked enforcement of the ban to varying degrees. Canadians with duel citizenship, after a day fraught with anxiety and fuelled by mixed messages and few answers, only learned they would be exempt from the ban late Saturday night. Amid chaotic, sometimes conflicting, pronouncements from Trump advisors late Saturday and early Sunday, it remains unclear who is actually affected by the ban. “It’s not a Muslim ban, but we were totally prepared,” Trump told reporters Saturday in the Oval Office. A senior Department of Homeland Security official said late Saturday that 109 people had been denied entry into the United States.
