Trump orders new, narrower travel ban that goes into effect in 10 days


The new ban, which takes effect March 16, halts travel for 90 days for residents of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. The new order also leaves more time for agencies to implement it in hopes of alleviating the confusion that accompanied the original order, which was issued only a week after Trump took office, with little consultation from top agency officials. "There should be no surprises — whether it's in the media or on Capitol Hill,” Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly said during an announcement at his agency alongside Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Atty. Trump had vowed to keep fighting for the original order, tweeting “see you in court” after a pair of legal defeats that suspended enforcement of the ban. "Executive Order 13769 of January 27, 2017, is revoked as of the effective date of this order," the new order reads.
