CCBA Statement on President Trump's Immigration Ban
On Friday January 27, 2017, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order that bans immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries, halts the admission of refugees from Syria indefinitely, and establishes a religious test for refugees seeking asylum from other countries going forward. The hastily executed order resulted in chaos, leaving legal permanent residents, green card holders, and others lawfully allowed entry into the United States stranded at airports across the country.
