Story highlights People from nations under Trump's temporary ban will not be allowed into the US even if they are lawful permanent residentsThe nations are all predominantly MuslimWashington (CNN) The US government will not automatically allow green card holders who traveled to countries placed under a temporary travel ban back into the United States, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN. Instead, those travelers will have to apply for a waiver to the executive order that instituted the ban, the sources said. The countries targeted by Trump's executive order include the Muslim-majority nations of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Sudan and Yemen. Green card holders already overseas seeking to return to their homes in the US will be processed through a waiver authority that has already been established. One official said there is a case-by-case admissions process and another said it is being done "expeditiously."
