For anyone a bit confused amidst the wave of Trump news…
The executive order signed by US President Donald Trump blocks entry into the US for the next 90 days to travellers from Syria, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia and Yemen.
The move has sparked controversy among both the public and politicians around the world with large protests taking place at US airports.
The Trump administration suffered a defeat in federal court over the weekend which stayed some sections of the executive order, but some people still remain in limbo.
Last night, Donald Trump fired acting Attorney General Sally Yates after she ordered the Justice Department not to defend the order banning refugees from seven predominantly-Muslim countries.
Mr Trump appointed Dana Boente, US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, to replace Ms Yates. He was sworn in last night according to The White House.
There seems to be one turn after another in this whole executive order saga and it can be difficult to keep up to date with developments.
In an exclusive interview with Indy100, Virginia Alonso Navarro spoke about Trump’s order and showed off some of the illustrations she made to simplify the topic for the public.
It’s called ‘An Illustrated Exploration of the #MuslimBan.
Speaking to Indy100, she said: “I feel that particularly since Trump took office we have been fed vast amounts of information that leave the future of the country and the world very uncertain.”
The above illustration is in reference to a Bloomberg article that claims Trump deliberately excluded countries from the ban due to business ties in those nations.
