Lots of reports that Trump’s broadly worded EO is being applied to long term US residents (green card holders.) We’re talking about people who’ve lived here, worked here and paid taxes here for years, who in some cases have US citizen children and spouses, who just left the country for business trips or vacation and now find themselves exiles from their homes and families.

Within hours of President Trump’s executive order limiting immigration from Muslim countries, green card and visa holders were already being blocked from getting on flights to the U.S.

The Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee said people who had already landed were being sequestered at airports and told they have to return to their point of origin.

This situation is exceedingly fucked.
