Trump to re-implement travel ban on nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries

Over in the U.S.
The Donald Trump Administration is working on a stricter and more streamlined order of
immigration ban on nationals from Muslim-majority countries.
Lee Ji-won zooms in on the prelude to another round of chaos.
U.S. President Donald Trump is set to re-issue an executive order banning entry to the U.S.
of nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries as a means to "head off attacks by Islamist
militants",... as confirmed on Saturday by the U.S. Secretary for Homeland Security,
John Kelly, at the Munich Security Conference.
"The president is contemplating releasing a tighter, more streamlined version of the
first . And I will have the opportunity to work a rollout plan, in particular to make
sure that there's no one in a sense caught in the system of moving from overseas to our
airports, which is what happened on the first release."
The order is expected to be released as early as next week,... and is likely to keep last
month's order imposing a 3-month entry ban on residents from the predominantly Muslim
countries of Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.
But, the new order is said to admit green card holders, who are permanent U.S. residents,
and travellers already on planes bound for America.
The initial order stirred protests around the world, drew criticism from international
leaders and wreaked havoc at airports across the U.S.
The new order is said to take into account the criticisms and problems of the last order
to minimize the legal hurdles.
The first one was blocked by a federal judge in the state of Washington a week after coming
into effect,... and two days later an appeal by the Justice Department was also rejected
by a federal appeals court.
