Michael Bradley’s response to the immigration ban matters

On Friday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order limiting travel and immigration from Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Sudan, and Somalia. The order also limits and reduces the number of refugees admitted into the country, with Syrians outright banned. The impact of the executive order has been devastating to people with ties to these seven countries. Individuals with visas to the United States have seen their visas revoked and are included in the minimum of 90 days travel bar, which means that students, health workers, and even an Oscar nominated director have been banned. The celebrated British runner Mo Farah questioned whether he could return to California where he trains because of his Somali birth.
