The ban was expected to affect several countries in the Middle East as well as in Africa, according to a report by Reuters published Tuesday evening. Those countries follow below:

• Iran
• Iraq
• Libya
• Somalia
• Sudan
• Syria
• Yemen

Specifically, the U.S. will automatically block any visa held by a person traveling from any of the above listed countries. Also included in the temporary immigration ban are refugees.

While the ban was expected to be temporary (90 days) , However, Reuters reported the ban would likely stay in place until the U.S. immigration vetting process was overhauled to be more thorough.

“From a legal standpoint, it would be exactly within his legal rights,” said Stephen Legomsky, the former chief counsel at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services under former President Barack Obama. “But from a policy standpoint it would be terrible idea because there is such an urgent humanitarian need right now for refugees.” Read the full story here.
