A broad ban stopping citizens of mostly Muslim countries from entering the United States means Allouch won’t attempt to enter the U.S. for the foreseeable future. His sister, 28, made her home in Washington D.C. and has her green card, which makes her a legal permanent resident of the United States. Mahmoud Allouch is not making any plans to travel to the United States and doesn’t know when his sister will be able — or willing — to risk coming to see him. “There is uncertainty, there is apprehension, there is a lot of ambiguity, so we are playing it safe,” and holding off on making plans, said Allouch. It resulted in chaos, confusion, protests and legal challenges across the United States.
