House Officials: Success Story and Muslim Ban

house officials: His comments came after White House officials, responding to the widespread uncertainty about the order, held a briefing with reporters Sunday evening to argue that the order's rollout was a massive success story, according to Guelph Mercury. Earlier that day, Trump sought to clarify the exact reach of his ban, saying in a statement that his action is not a Muslim ban. In a series of tweets, Trump sought to minimize its impact on travelers following confusion, angst and two days of protests that have erupted across the country since he signed the order. But critics remain concerned over the exact limits of its scope, legal questions about its constitutionality and whether the Trump administration will comply with orders from federal judges to temporarily halt the travel ban. Tens of thousands of people protested his immigration order outside the gates of the White House, in Boston's Copley Square and in New York's Battery Park, with its views over the Statue of Liberty. Intense protests cropped up in airport terminals from coast to coast on Saturday and Sunday, meaning both weekends of Trump's presidency so far have been marked by heavy public demonstrations against him.
