Trump plans to institute the ban through an executive order, which he said he was likely to sign on Wednesday. He said it would not apply to individuals entering the United States on a temporary basis and would be re-evaluated once the 60-day period had passed. Trump said that pausing immigration would put "unemployed Americans first in line for jobs" as the country re-opened. Trump said there would be some exemptions in the order and he could renew it for another 60 days or longer. The status allows a person to live and work in the United States and apply for citizenship after a five-year period.
