[history]
When President Donald Trump declared at the Pentagon Friday he was enacting strict new measures to prevent domestic terror attacks, there were few within his government who knew exactly what he meant.
Administration officials weren't immediately sure which countries' citizens would be barred from entering the United States. The Department of Homeland Security was left making a legal analysis on the order after Trump signed it. A Border Patrol agent, confronted with arriving refugees, referred questions only to the President himself, according to court filings.

TRUMP’S MUSLIM BAN
Here are some FACTS about “TRUMP’S MUSLIM BAN.”
1. It’s not a “BAN.” It’s a 120 day suspension in the processing of visas, intended to give the government time to emplace better vetting procedures.
2. It’s not directed at “MUSLIMS.” It is directed at all individuals, Muslim or non-Muslim, from 7 designated countries. Approximately 90% of the world’s Muslims are totally unaffected.
3. The countries were not put on a list BY TRUMP. In fact, these countries were designated by the OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.
THREE WORDS—THREE LIES.
But let’s not let FACTS get in the way of feeling outraged!

Beat me to it.
But, then again, the Clinton News Network is not exactly known for its Mensa members.

Its a VERY BIG bureauracacy, populated by bureaucrats, so just about anything can or cant happen. Depending. Because depending. See first sentence...

Exactly. Funny how CNN admits to being confused by something relatively simple.

That is not true. There is a whole circle on circle on circle of federal bureaucrats who think they have the power to review, stall, put into a bureaucratic tail-spin, and otherwise tie-up, tie down or circumvent a presidential order.
And DHS has more circles on circles on circles than any of them.

Confusion is only in the weak minds of the perpetual Trump Haters.

What confusion? 8 U.S. CODE S 1182. Inadmissible Aliens
(f) Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President. Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.
Seems clear to me.

I can’t tell if this is predictable or unpredictable.

The “Green Card” ban that wasn’t is the biggest confusion. Needs to be clarified.
Very few Americans want Green Card holders restricted from re-entry.

“Administration officials weren’t immediately sure which countries’ citizens would be barred from entering the United States. “
WAIT! How do the judges know which countries are affected, when Trump’s own team, who Trump has told this to for the last year and a half don’t know?
Sounds like it is CNN who doesn’t know.
