Foggy Bottom Bureaucrats Bring 500 Refugees Into US One Day Before DJT's Expected Ban
[Breitbart] Bureaucrats at the State Department brought 500 refugees into the country on Tuesday, one day before President Trump "is expected to order a multi-month ban on allowing refugees into the United States except for religious minorities escaping persecution, until more aggressive vetting is in place," according to Reuters.The temporary ban on refugees will be one of several executive orders on immigration President Trump will sign on Wednesday, Reuters reports. "Another order will block visas being issued to anyone from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, said the aides and experts, who asked not to be identified." Two hundred and twenty-six of the 500 refugees resettled in the United States on Tuesday, or 44 percent, came from six of those seven countries, according to the State Department’s interactive website, as reported at 11:00 p.m. eastern on Tuesday: Syria (81), Iran (51), Iraq (46), Somalia (43), Sudan (4), and Yemen (1). No refugees from Libya were resettled in the United States on Tuesday. Posted by: Besoeker 2017-01-25 |
