President Donald Trump signed a new executive order Monday that bars travelers from six Muslim-majority nations from entering the United States. The temporary ban removes Iraq from the list of countries covered in a previous order announced January 27. The new order bars travelers from Iran, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and Libya for 90 days. It also prevents all refugees from entering the United States for 120 days. U.S. officials said Iraq was removed from the list after Iraqi officials promised to increase cooperation with U.S. officials on vetting procedures. The new restrictions will take effect March 16. They will not affect legal permanent residents - those with green cards - or travelers who already had valid visas as of January 27. The new order comes after a federal judge in the state of Washington blocked the earlier ban in a ruling last month.
