Trump's revised travel ban likely to target same seven Muslim countries

Washington, Feb 20 (IBNS): US President Donald Trump's revised travel ban order is likely to target immigrants from the same seven Muslim majority countries, according to media reports on Monday.

Quoting an internal State Department memo discussing Trump’s replacement executive order on immigration and refugees, reports said that the administration would try to keep temporary travel restrictions on citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries.

The new order would, however, reverse the previous directive’s inclusion of green-card holders from those countries, according to the State Department memo which was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

Trump's first order attracted more than 20 lawsuits, with petitioners arguing that the order violated individual rights.

According to reports, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco stayed several key provisions of the original order.
