War In NYC: Declare It; Prosecute it! 8 citizens died due to Trump's Cowardice

Let  This Adv. Begin The End Of The Democrat Party!

    God Damn!

     Writing, producing and publishing that advertisement marks the Democrat Party as race baiting , Islamopandering, demagogues seeking to divide and Balkanize the country.Goebbels must be proud of their work.

    Withdrawing the adv. in the  aftermath of the Manhattan Massacre is a clear admission of guilt. How can anyone vote for a Democrat with a clear conscience after this?!

    This advertisement must be seen and understood for what it is: a baseless calumny against Conservatives and Republicans. No sane Conservative wants to terrorize and kill children. With it, the Democrats seek to create and exploit paranoia. The party must be punished at the ballot box!!!

MilliGazette's Hypocrisy

One of my Google Alerts turned up this article:

American Muslims 16 years after 9/11

By Abdus Sattar Ghazali, The Milli Gazette Online

Published Online: Sep 08, 2017

    The article's major theme is assigning blame for perceived Islamophobia/bigotry/racism to Chump and his administration.
These are the headers used in the article:

Nationwide anti-Islam rallies

Trump fulfills promise to ban Muslims

Bills introduced in US Congress to designate Muslim Brotherhood s terrorist organization

American Muslim groups condemn Trump's Termination of DACA Program

On the positive note

    While the article provides a target rich environment for deliaring, I chose to concentrate on what I believe to be the most important Taqiyya.  The Moderator, as is his right, declined to publish my comment. I choose to publish it here:

The legislation to designate al-Ikhwan as a FTO is myopic & Moronic. I prefer Sen. Cruz to Chump and voted for him in the primary. I would gladly vote for him again in '20. But he does not see the forest for the trees. It is Ummah al-Islamiyya, not al-Ikhwan that should be a designated  Foreign Terrorist Organization.  Designating Islam would include all it's appendages including the Brotherhood and CAIR.

Muslims have overlooked something. Moe ordered them not to carry the Koran with them on ghazwat & sariya unless they were certain of victory 'cuz  we might use it against them. 

Now your canonical texts, exegesis, jurisprudence and biography have been translated to English and uploaded to the web. We can read them and many of us have. .

Now we know about the ayat that sanctify and command acts of terrorism, perpetual war, genocide, pillage, plunder, rape & slavery.  We learned how Moe got his income after  his cougar died, how Allah made him wealthy and victorious.  Flee at once, all is known.

    Rejecting that comment indicates that the Moderator recognized it as true and valid. He obviously doubts the ability of the author and other commentators to refute it.  The penultimate sentence in my comment packs a factual punch. "What's Wrong With Islam & Muslims" & "Islam's Mercenary Mission", embedded in the "Islam 101 For Politicians" page, document those facts which should be fatal to Islam.

Muslim Ban

    Chump did not ban Muslims! He banned unvetted individuals from six nations because it is impossible to document their intentions. The ban is limited and temporary.  We need a complete, total, permanent and retroactive ban on Muslims because Muslims are enemy combatants.
   
    According to Islamic law, every Muslim must be an "object of fear" to infidels because of they are likely to attack us.  There is no security and can be none while the enemy fifth column is encamped within our borders.

Rallies

    The first amendment guarantees us the right to peacefully assemble  and express our opinions. The Constitution does not give Anarchists, Communists, Muslims & illegal aliens a right to assault us while we are so assembled. 

    It is true that normal Americans are less organized and motivated than our enemies. We are not paid by George Soros and a host of foundations.  But Act For America chickened out because of threats of violence from Antifa  and the reluctance of law enforcement officers to enforce the law.

Racism

    Objection to Jihad, terrorism, genocide, extortion, pillage, plunder & rape, based on factual evidence, is not racism and Muslim is not a race. Did Ayaan Hirsi Ali changer her race when she apostatized? Last time I looked, she was still Black.  Wikiislam has the scoop on Islamic racism; read it and get a clue.

Supremacisn

    From 3.110 & Sahih Bukhari 4.52.65 we learn that Muslims are the best of peoples as they bring us to Islam with chains on our necks.  From 9.33 we learn that Islam must be made superior. From Muquaddimah we learn that "In the Muslim community, the holy war is a religious duty, because of the universalism of the (Muslim) mission and (the obligation to) convert everybody to Islam either by persuasion or by force."

DACA

    Is there anything less relevant to Islam?  What proportion of Illegal Alien  Mexicans are Muslims?  Nations have borders to prevent invasion and subversion.  Mexico has severe punishment for illegal immigrants.

    The brats came here illegally, with their illegal alien parents. Why should they receive preferential treatment over those following legal immigration procedures?  Obamination could not get the Dream Act through Congress, so he imposed it with an unconstitutional usurpation of legislative power. Chump is reversing his illegal act. That is no skin off Muslim snouts.

Leahy vs Gorsuch: Incontinent Sphincter Of The Senate Demanded Travel Ban Perjury!

Fox News displayed this video of  Senator  Patrick Leahy, for whom I have the utmost contempt and hatred,  and Judge  Neil Gorsuch  in his confirmation hearing.  

    In this line of interrogation, the incontinent sphincter attempted to suborn perjury.  Watch closely as the judge ostensibly refuses to Felch.    Listening inter alia, it sounds as if Judge Gorsuch  implied that he would rule against the  travel ban which is what the 'crat  senators want to hear.

    Fox embed code does not work. I am attempting to embed Cspan's video. The relevant part begins one hour and 49 minutes into the 9 hour video.  Neither embed code works. Click fox to watch the clip, Cspan to watch the whole thing.

    I attempted to transcribe the video, both my hearing and my typing skills are poor; I do not guarantee accuracy, spelling or punctuation.  I begin with the first question, answers are inset. Superscripts in the transcript are internally linked to my comments which follow.

• Does the first amendment¹ allow the use of a religious  litmus test² for entry into the united states?
• Senator, that's an issue that's currently  being litigated³, actively, as you know 

• I'm not asking about the litigation in the ninth circuit or anything else, I;m asking about the fact⁴: is a blanket religions test- is that consistent with the first amendment ?
• Senator, we have a free exercise clause⁵ that protects the free exercise of religious liberties by all persons in this country If you ask me how I'd apply that to a specific case, I can't talk about that  for understandable reasons. 
• Well, could the Pres...
• The understandable reasons--I'm as frank and candid with you, Senator, as I can be, Senator, when you ask me to apply it to a set of facts that look an awful lot like a pending case, in many circuits now, ...
•   Would the President have the authority to ban all of Jews⁶ from the United States or All people that come from Israel⁷?
• Senator, that would be an easy question: we have a Constitution and it does guarantee free exercise it also guarantees equal protection of the laws⁸ and a whole lot else besides and the Supreme Court decided in [unintelligible] that due process rights extend even to undocumented persons in this country.  I will apply the law; I will apply the law⁹ faithfully and fearlessly and without regard to persons.
• I don't care about their religion
• Anyone, any law is gonna get a fair ans square deal with me. My job as a judge is to treat litigants who appear before me as I wished to be treated as a lawyer when I appeared with my client large or small.  I did not want them to be discriminated against because they were a large company or or a small individual with an unpopular belief¹⁰, and that's the kind of judge I try to be, Senator,  I think that's my record.
• Well, Judge, let me ask you  do you agree with me that there should not be a religious test in the United States ?
• I need to know more specifically...
• Well, let me give you an example: should there be a religious test to serve in the military¹¹?
•  Oh, Senator, that would be inappropriate, yes, it's against the law. 
• [unintelligible] Solely on their religion, solely on their religion...not based on a threat¹² or something, would you ban somebody solely on their religion?
• Senator, we have not just a first amendment free exercise clause in this country, very important protection, we have not just an equal protection guarantee of  the fourteenth amendment, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, gender ethnicity; we also have the religious freedom restoration act which Senator Hatch mentioned, which was a bipartisan bill passed by this body, with the support of Senator Kennedy and Senator Schumer when he was in the House, and that imposes an even higher standard on the government than the first amendment when it comes to religious discrimination.it says that if there is any sincerely held religious belief; honestly held religious belief, the government must meet strict scrutiny before they regulate on that basis, strict scrutiny being the highest standard known  in American law.  
• The reason I ask these questions, there is a legitimate concern, I hear stories from my grandparents that signs usta say that no Irish need apply or no Catholic need apply, I am sure that Senator Feinstein can speak about  rules of her religion.  President trump promised a Muslim ban¹³, he still has it on his web site to this day, he is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States and a Republican congressman recently  said the best thing the President can do  for his Muslim ban is to make sure he has Gorsuch on the Supreme Court before the appeals get to that point¹⁴.  
• Senator, a lot of people say a lot of silly things, my grandfather...
• [unintelligible] he wants you on the court so you can uphold a Muslim ban .
• Senator, he has no idea how I'd rule in that case and, Senator, I'm not gonna say anything here that would give anybody any idea how I'd rule¹⁵ in any case like that that  could come before the Supreme Court our my court of the tenth circuit it would be grossly improper of a judge to do that; it would be a violation of the separation of powers and judicial independence if someone sitting at this table, in order to get confirmed, had to make promises or commitments about how they'd rule in a case that is currently pending and likely to make its way to the supreme court.

first amendment

 Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
- See more at: http://constitution.findlaw.com/amendment1.html#sthash.WY6qrQZD.dpuf

    The idea was to establish  liberty by limiting the power of government.  Many of the colonists came here to escape from religious persecution.  They did not want the federal government to establish a state religion, domination or sect. They did not want their own denominations to be proscribed by law.  

    The constitution applies to citizens and residents, not non-resident aliens. It does not guarantee any rights to aliens not  under its jurisdiction.  Immigration is a privilege granted by the government under strict laws and rules, not a right.  Africans, Arabs &  Asians are not born with a constitutional right to come here.  They must apply for visas.

religious test

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

    Article six includes the supremacy clause, constitutional oath requirement and proscribes religious tests for public office.  Art. 6 does not mention immigration.  

    Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4 establishes federal control over naturalization.

4: To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;  http://constitutionus.com/

    Where in the constitution  do you find an absolute unqualified  right  for aliens to come here?  Where do you find a prohibition on religious tests for immigrants?

current litigation

    The issue before the courts is a travel ban based on national origin, not religion.  How is it a Muslim ban while the majority of the  Ummah  is not affected by it?   The words "Muslim" & Islam are not included in the executive orders challenged in court.  

    The executive orders are irrational. 15 of the "Magnificent Nineteen" were citizens of  the Kingdom Of Saudi  Arabia  but that nation is not included in the banned list. Pakistan and Iraq also provided terrorists but they are not on the list.

    The executive orders exclude persons originating from places where the governments are unwilling or unable to provide identifying information about their citizens.  Even knowing the prospective visitor's name, patrimony and address, how would you  determine if he harbored hatred for us and had the ability & intention to do us harm?  Even if you knew that he lacked desire, ability and  intention, what is to stop him from getting them in the immediate future?  Tashfeen Malik passed five vetting interviews before she helped her husband slaughter 14 innocent victims. So much for vetting; it's vaporware!

    Exactly how  would banning the entry of Muslims violate the establishment clause?  Exactly how would it interfere unconstitutionally with the free exercise clause?  Does it interfere with the  salat, saum, hajj, zakat, shahada or Jihad of the Syrian in Syria?  No, it simply prevents him from doing it here for the next 90 days.  Do either Leahy or Gorsuch know that Jihad is the "highest peak of Islam", not one of its pillars, yet a communal and individual obligation binding on all able bodied adult Muslims?  Have either of them  bothered to read  Reliance Of The Traveller, Book o, Chapter  9.1  or page 18 of "The Book Of Jihad"?  Do they know that 9.5, 14, 29 & 123 are fard ayn: individually binding obligations since the invasion of Afghanistan?

'fact': fallacy!

    There is no religious test in the executive order!  Islam is not mentioned in it. There are 56 nations with Muslim majorities, only 6  are included in the ban.  Leahy postulates fallacy as fact.

free exercise clause

    The free exercise clause of the first amendment prohibits Congress from  enacting legislation impiring free exercise of religion.  Executive orders are not acts of congress; they are orders, not legislation.  Leahy knows the diffeence, but he is dishonest.

    What is free exercise of religion?  Congregational prayer, singing hymns, church bells, communion?  How about Jihad, genocide & terrorism?  Those are Islamic sacraments and a required part of  the practice of Islam.  

    Muslims are commanded to obey Allah and the Messenger.  They are warned to emulate Moe if they want to get into his celestial orgy.  Allah commanded Muslims to striker terror into the hearts of prospective victims my harsh treatment of defeated enemies and terrify them with maximized military might.  Moe terrorized the Jews of Medina by having Kab Ashraf assassinated and the B. Khatma tribe by  the assassination of Asma Bint Marwan; the entire tribe saw "the power of Islam" and reverted at once.  

    What do Muslims say while slitting the throat of a goat in celebration of Eid?  What do they say when they slit the throat of an Infidel?  Both are acts of worship.  The accursed abomination 9/11 was an act of Islamic worship!  

Many thanks to God, for his kind gesture, and choosing us to perform the act of Jihad for his cause and to defend Islam and Muslims. Therefore, killing you and fighting you, destroying you and terrorizing you, responding back to your attacks,are all considered to be great legitimate duty in our religion. These actions are our offerings to God.
http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/gitmo20090310.pdf

    Does the free exercise clause vitiate legal proscription of terrorism?  Is the Constitution a suicide pact?  Islam entails Jihad & terrorism; is incomplete with out them. There can be no right to manifest, practice and propagate it.

ban Jews?

    Why do you want to ban Jews?  Are Jews terrorists by divine mandate?  Are  Jews raising Hell wherever they go as Muslims are?  

ban Israelites?

    There  is good cause for excluding Israeli Muslims because they are under a divine mandate from Allah to terrorize us,.

equal protection

    A Christian, Jew & Muslim have equal protection of the laws: due process.  There is also due process in immigration law.  The McCaran-Walter  Immigration Act of  '52 makes provision for exclusion of inimical persons.

Whenever the Attorney General finds that a commercial airline has failed to comply with regulations of the Attorney General relating to requirements of airlines for the detection of fraudulent documents used by passengers traveling to the United States (including the training of personnel in such detection), the Attorney General may suspend the entry of some or all aliens transported to the United States by such airline.

apply the law

    The President and his administrative  staff & subordinates apply the law,  trial court judges determine facts and appellate judges interpret the laws & constitution.  

unpopular belief

    That means Muslims.  Even they get equal protection of the laws, not found guilty without probative evidence.

military

    What does the constitution say?

..".no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

Article VI http://www.heritage.org/constitution/#!/articles/6/essays/135/religious-test

Is soldier an office of public trust??   Whose cause do they fight in,  ours or Allah's ?  Remember Nidal Malik Hasan's business card?  It read "Soldier of Allah".   That is a clue for the few who can grasp a clue.

    Allah wants us defeated and gathered into Hell 3.12 , that is the role of Muslims: to do his wet work. Do you really want them in our armed services???

threat

    Islam, you damned fool, is a threat!!!  Most people, like that ignorant fool, are unaware of Moe's extortion letters. This one, part of a collection in Ibn Sa'd's sira, is the most explicit of them. Reasonable, open minded men of good will will curse Islam when they read it: http://www.soebratie.nl/religie/hadith/IbnSad.html#01.2.73.3

    Sahih Bukhari,  volume 9, page 237 contains a clear threat:
"How dare you
fight the people while Allah's Messenger
said, 'I have been ordered to fight the people
till they say: La ilaha illallah. And whoever
says La ilaha illallah, saves his wealth and his
life from me unless he deserves a legal
punishment justly, and his account will be
with Allah.' " '"

Muslim ban

    Candidate Trump did propose a Muslim ban and for good reason: numerous plots, some foiled, others successful by Muslims, some of them first or second generation  immigrants. That history, combined with the continuing threats from ISIS & al-Qaeda, constitute good cause for expelling and excluding the slaves of Allah who are obligated to do his wet work.

    Read the  EO at the New York Times and see if you can find "Muslim" in it. "Islam" is included  in a  defense of the  original travel ban, not in an active provision.  Exactly how is an order that affects only 40% of the Ummah a Muslim ban?  

appeals

    Assumptions make an ass of you.  Assuming that  Judge Gorsuch would vote in favor of the  EO  without first hearing the arguments and reading the briefs made an ass of Leahy.

how I'd rule

    The judge should rule after reading the briefs, hearing the arguments and   carefully examining  the precedents. Canons of judicial ethics proscribe perjury. It is not his case yet and he should neither have nor express an opinion on it.

Jihad

• Al-Jihid (holy fighting) in Allah's Cause (with full force of numbers and weaponry)
• (0: Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada, signifying warfare to establish the religion. And it is the lesser jihad. 
• The literal expression is striving: extreme exertion.  The connotation is Jihad In The Way Of Allah.  "Strive hard and fight with your wealth and your lives."
• How does one get injured or killed in Jihad an-Nafs?  3.156, 157. Fighting in Allah's cause obviously means mortal combat.

Trump's New Travel Ban 03-06- '17 Useless!

Update 03/11/'17
Two AssWholes intervened to get a Muslim through Muslim Ban 1.0, and the Muslim molested a little girl thanks to their AssWhollery. Daniel Greenfield has the story at Front page. I want you to read it!
President Trump still lacks the SISU required to name the enemy and the doctrine that makes it inimical.  Terrorism is not a function of nationality, it is a function of belief in Allah, his imperatives, threat & promise.

    Terrorists believe that they are on a divine mission to punish us for not being Muslims and to make Allah's word & law dominant on a global scale.   While they believe that Allah wants them to conquer us and will aid them in their struggle and grant them victory, they are difficult to  deter or stop.  While they believe that if they terrorize us, Allah will forgive their sins, save them from his fire and admit them to his celestial orgy, they will persevere.  While successive generations adhere to those beliefs, the Jihad will not end, it will continue until the last day as Moe prophesied.

    While President Trump, other politicians, preachers and teachers prefix 'radical' or synonyms to Islamic Terrorism, they lie to us, projecting a maundering pretense that Islam is an anodyne & benevolent religion of peace and terrorism is a function of hijacking, perversion, distortion or 'extremism'.
<!--Insert Trump.gif here.

    Allah, in his book, is recorded as saying that he would and did cast terror into the hearts of disbelievers so that Moe and his army were victorious in battle.   He commanded Muslims to fight pagans until religion is his alone, 'people of the book' until they are subjugated and extorted. He commanded Muslims to start with the disbelievers nearest them. He commanded Muslims to strike terror and terrify by harsh brutality of defeated enemies and amassing great military power.

.    Moe said that he was made victorious with terror. He terrorized prospective victims with assassinations, genocide, extortion letters and barbarian plunder.

What part of that is not understood?

    Muslims do not need to come from Dar al-Islam or failed states to be dangerous. They do not need to be card carrying members of  ISIS or other groups to be dangerous. They just need to believe and have the will to kill. You can not test for that.  They can conceal it until the moment is right.  That is what Farook & Malik did. Had Farook's parents and wife been kept out of the country, fourteen Californians would still be alive and another 14 would not be faced with  large medical expenses. Tafsheen Malik passed five vetting interviews.  That is a clue for you, who can grasp it??!

    The temporary ban is necessary and insufficient.  We need a permanent, total and retroactive ban on Muslims.  This is a human rights issue: our right to live in peace, free from the threat and use of violence. We have a right to view parades without being plowed into by cars and trucks. We have a right to go shopping and attend school without being knifed or shot. We have a right to attend parties and visit night clubs without being shot.  We have a right to view races and walk down the sidewalk and through parks without being dismembered by bombs.  

    This is a pull your head out of your arse moment: until Muslims are removed and excluded from our borders, the threat of terrorism will continue and escalate.

    Religious liberty? God blessed right! You have a  right to believe in and worship the deity of your choice or none at all.  You do not have a right to attack, kill, enslave, rape or plunder anyone because he does not share your superstition.   Islam entails attacking, terrorizing, raping, killing, plundering and enslaving disbelievers. What is the meaning of "kill them wherever you find them"? Is that a command or a suggestion? What is the meaning of  "fight them until" ?  What is the meaning of "fight those who until"? What is the meaning of "fight those of the disbelievers nearest you"?  What is the meaning of 'Jihad is ordained for you"?   Allah commands Muslims to emulate Moe. Moe threatened, attacked, killed, raped, plundered and enslaved disbelievers  The practice of Islam is incomplete without performing those acts, putting the shirker in danger of the fire.  The World Trade Center attack was an act of Islamic worship!  Let that sink in for a moment, then read about it: http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/gitmo20090310.pdf

    Show me the Constitutional  Article, Section & Clause wherein you find rights to attack, kill, plunder, rape & enslave disbelievers; I will show you the right to manifest,  practice, & propagate Islam.

    Right to immigrate? The Constitution confers no rights on non resident aliens!!! The privilege is ours to grant, not theirs to demand.

    Mercy & compassion for refugees? Those fleeing well deserved destruction in Gaza & Syria?  Have you so soon forgotten Sirhan Sirhan?  Have you no memory of the brothers Tsarnaev?  Refugees, damn you!!!  Refugees!!! Like those who slaughtered more than 100 Frenchmen; like those raising Hell in Germany and Scandinavia.  They take a swing at the king, miss his neck and he retaliates so they are refugees; yeah, right.

    They are slaves of Satan, obligated to do us any possible injury.  All of them! Since we invaded Afghanistan in retaliation, the obligation of Jihad is fard ayn, look it up and get a clue. You can not tell the MINO from the Believer until they kill you, then it's too late.

    The order is so full of loop holes, exceptions and waivers as to be meaningless. It is so full of reporting requirements as to be onerous.   Just declare Islam to be an international terrorist organization with all its apendent bodies and ban its devotes.

    Next time, nominate and elect a genuine Conservative who has read the Qur'an & hadith so he understands the enemy of the human race.

Executive Order Protecting The Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States

EXECUTIVE ORDER

- - - - - - -

PROTECTING THE NATION FROM FOREIGN TERRORIST ENTRY INTO THE UNITED STATES

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq., and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, and to protect the Nation from terrorist activities by foreign nationals admitted to the United States, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1.  Policy and Purpose.  (a)  It is the policy of the United States to protect its citizens from terrorist attacks, including those committed by foreign nationals.  The screening and vetting protocols and procedures associated with the visa-issuance process and the United States Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) play a crucial role in detecting foreign nationals who may commit, aid, or support acts of terrorism and in preventing those individuals from entering the United States.  It is therefore the policy of the United States to improve the screening and vetting protocols and procedures associated with the visa-issuance process and the USRAP.
(b)  On January 27, 2017, to implement this policy, I issued Executive Order 13769 (Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States).

(i)    Among other actions, Executive Order 13769 suspended for 90 days the entry of certain aliens from seven countries:  Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen.  These are countries that had already been identified as presenting heightened concerns about terrorism and travel to the United States.  Specifically, the suspension applied to countries referred to in, or designated under, section 217(a)(12) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1187(a)(12), in which Congress restricted use of the Visa Waiver Program for nationals of, and aliens recently present in, (A) Iraq or Syria, (B) any country designated by the Secretary of State as a state sponsor of terrorism (currently Iran, Syria, and Sudan), and (C) any other country designated as a country of concern by the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Director of National Intelligence.  In 2016, the Secretary of Homeland Security designated Libya, Somalia, and Yemen as additional countries of concern for travel purposes, based on consideration of three statutory factors related to terrorism and national security:  "(I) whether the presence of an alien in the country or area increases the likelihood that the alien is a credible threat to the national security of the United States; (II) whether a foreign terrorist organization has a significant presence in the country or area; and (III) whether the country or area is a safe haven for terrorists."  8 U.S.C. 1187(a)(12)(D)(ii).  Additionally, Members of Congress have expressed concerns about screening and vetting procedures following recent terrorist attacks in this country and in Europe.

(ii)   In ordering the temporary suspension of entry described in subsection (b)(i) of this section, I exercised my authority under Article II of the Constitution and under section 212(f) of the INA, which provides in relevant part:  "Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate."  8 U.S.C. 1182(f).  Under these authorities, I determined that, for a brief period of 90 days, while existing screening and vetting procedures were under review, the entry into the United States of certain aliens from the seven identified countries -- each afflicted by terrorism in a manner that compromised the ability of the United States to rely on normal decision-making procedures about travel to the United States -- would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.  Nonetheless, I permitted the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security to grant case-by-case waivers when they determined that it was in the national interest to do so.

(iii)  Executive Order 13769 also suspended the USRAP for 120 days.  Terrorist groups have sought to infiltrate several nations through refugee programs.  Accordingly, I temporarily suspended the USRAP pending a review of our procedures for screening and vetting refugees.  Nonetheless, I permitted the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security to jointly grant case-by-case waivers when they determined that it was in the national interest to do so.

(iv)   Executive Order 13769 did not provide a basis for discriminating for or against members of any particular religion.  While that order allowed for prioritization of refugee claims from members of persecuted religious minority groups, that priority applied to refugees from every nation, including those in which Islam is a minority religion, and it applied to minority sects within a religion.  That order was not motivated by animus toward any religion, but was instead intended to protect the ability of religious minorities -- whoever they are and wherever they reside -- to avail themselves of the USRAP in light of their particular challenges and circumstances.

(c)  The implementation of Executive Order 13769 has been delayed by litigation.  Most significantly, enforcement of critical provisions of that order has been temporarily halted by court orders that apply nationwide and extend even to foreign nationals with no prior or substantial connection to the United States.  On February 9, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit declined to stay or narrow one such order pending the outcome of further judicial proceedings, while noting that the "political branches are far better equipped to make appropriate distinctions" about who should be covered by a suspension of entry or of refugee admissions.
(d)  Nationals from the countries previously identified under section 217(a)(12) of the INA warrant additional scrutiny in connection with our immigration policies because the conditions in these countries present heightened threats.  Each of these countries is a state sponsor of terrorism, has been significantly compromised by terrorist organizations, or contains active conflict zones.  Any of these circumstances diminishes the foreign government's willingness or ability to share or validate important information about individuals seeking to travel to the United States.  Moreover, the significant presence in each of these countries of terrorist organizations, their members, and others exposed to those organizations increases the chance that conditions will be exploited to enable terrorist operatives or sympathizers to travel to the United States.  Finally, once foreign nationals from these countries are admitted to the United States, it is often difficult to remove them, because many of these countries typically delay issuing, or refuse to issue, travel documents.
(e)  The following are brief descriptions, taken in part from the Department of State's Country Reports on Terrorism 2015 (June 2016), of some of the conditions in six of the previously designated countries that demonstrate why their nationals continue to present heightened risks to the security of the United States:

(i)    Iran.  Iran has been designated as a state sponsor of terrorism since 1984 and continues to support various terrorist groups, including Hizballah, Hamas, and terrorist groups in Iraq.  Iran has also been linked to support for al-Qa'ida and has permitted al-Qa'ida to transport funds and fighters through Iran to Syria and South Asia.  Iran does not cooperate with the United States in counterterrorism efforts.

(ii)   Libya.  Libya is an active combat zone, with hostilities between the internationally recognized government and its rivals.  In many parts of the country, security and law enforcement functions are provided by armed militias rather than state institutions.  Violent extremist groups, including the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), have exploited these conditions to expand their presence in the country.  The Libyan government provides some cooperation with the United States' counterterrorism efforts, but it is unable to secure thousands of miles of its land and maritime borders, enabling the illicit flow of weapons, migrants, and foreign terrorist fighters.  The United States Embassy in Libya suspended its operations in 2014.

(iii)  Somalia.  Portions of Somalia have been terrorist safe havens.  Al-Shabaab, an al-Qa'ida-affiliated terrorist group, has operated in the country for years and continues to plan and mount operations within Somalia and in neighboring countries.  Somalia has porous borders, and most countries do not recognize Somali identity documents.  The Somali government cooperates with the United States in some counterterrorism operations but does not have the capacity to sustain military pressure on or to investigate suspected terrorists.

(iv)   Sudan.  Sudan has been designated as a state sponsor of terrorism since 1993 because of its support for international terrorist groups, including Hizballah and Hamas.  Historically, Sudan provided safe havens for al-Qa'ida and other terrorist groups to meet and train.  Although Sudan's support to al-Qa'ida has ceased and it provides some cooperation with the United States' counterterrorism efforts, elements of core al-Qa'ida and ISIS-linked terrorist groups remain active in the country.

(v)    Syria.  Syria has been designated as a state sponsor of terrorism since 1979.  The Syrian government is engaged in an ongoing military conflict against ISIS and others for control of portions of the country.  At the same time, Syria continues to support other terrorist groups.  It has allowed or encouraged extremists to pass through its territory to enter Iraq.  ISIS continues to attract foreign fighters to Syria and to use its base in Syria to plot or encourage attacks around the globe, including in the United States.  The United States Embassy in Syria suspended its operations in 2012.  Syria does not cooperate with the United States' counterterrorism efforts.

(vi)   Yemen.  Yemen is the site of an ongoing conflict between the incumbent government and the Houthi-led opposition.  Both ISIS and a second group, al-Qa'ida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), have exploited this conflict to expand their presence in Yemen and to carry out hundreds of attacks.  Weapons and other materials smuggled across Yemen's porous borders are used to finance AQAP and other terrorist activities.  In 2015, the United States Embassy in Yemen suspended its operations, and embassy staff were relocated out of the country.  Yemen has been supportive of, but has not been able to cooperate fully with, the United States in counterterrorism efforts.

(f)  In light of the conditions in these six countries, until the assessment of current screening and vetting procedures required by section 2 of this order is completed, the risk of erroneously permitting entry of a national of one of these countries who intends to commit terrorist acts or otherwise harm the national security of the United States is unacceptably high.  Accordingly, while that assessment is ongoing, I am imposing a temporary pause on the entry of nationals from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, subject to categorical exceptions and case-by-case waivers, as described in section 3 of this order.
(g)  Iraq presents a special case.  Portions of Iraq remain active combat zones.  Since 2014, ISIS has had dominant influence over significant territory in northern and central Iraq.  Although that influence has been significantly reduced due to the efforts and sacrifices of the Iraqi government and armed forces, working along with a United States-led coalition, the ongoing conflict has impacted the Iraqi government's capacity to secure its borders and to identify fraudulent travel documents.  Nevertheless, the close cooperative relationship between the United States and the democratically elected Iraqi government, the strong United States diplomatic presence in Iraq, the significant presence of United States forces in Iraq, and Iraq's commitment to combat ISIS justify different treatment for Iraq.  In particular, those Iraqi government forces that have fought to regain more than half of the territory previously dominated by ISIS have shown steadfast determination and earned enduring respect as they battle an armed group that is the common enemy of Iraq and the United States.  In addition, since Executive Order 13769 was issued, the Iraqi government has expressly undertaken steps to enhance travel documentation, information sharing, and the return of Iraqi nationals subject to final orders of removal.  Decisions about issuance of visas or granting admission to Iraqi nationals should be subjected to additional scrutiny to determine if applicants have connections with ISIS or other terrorist organizations, or otherwise pose a risk to either national security or public safety.
(h)  Recent history shows that some of those who have entered the United States through our immigration system have proved to be threats to our national security.  Since 2001, hundreds of persons born abroad have been convicted of terrorism-related crimes in the United States.  They have included not just persons who came here legally on visas but also individuals who first entered the country as refugees.  For example, in January 2013, two Iraqi nationals admitted to the United States as refugees in 2009 were sentenced to 40 years and to life in prison, respectively, for multiple terrorism-related offenses.  And in October 2014, a native of Somalia who had been brought to the United States as a child refugee and later became a naturalized United States citizen was sentenced to 30 years in prison for attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction as part of a plot to detonate a bomb at a crowded Christmas-tree-lighting ceremony in Portland, Oregon.  The Attorney General has reported to me that more than 300 persons who entered the United States as refugees are currently the subjects of counterterrorism investigations by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
(i)  Given the foregoing, the entry into the United States of foreign nationals who may commit, aid, or support acts of terrorism remains a matter of grave concern.  In light of the Ninth Circuit's observation that the political branches are better suited to determine the appropriate scope of any suspensions than are the courts, and in order to avoid spending additional time pursuing litigation, I am revoking Executive Order 13769 and replacing it with this order, which expressly excludes from the suspensions categories of aliens that have prompted judicial concerns and which clarifies or refines the approach to certain other issues or categories of affected aliens.
Sec. 2.  Temporary Suspension of Entry for Nationals of Countries of Particular Concern During Review Period.  (a)  The Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Director of National Intelligence, shall conduct a worldwide review to identify whether, and if so what, additional information will be needed from each foreign country to adjudicate an application by a national of that country for a visa, admission, or other benefit under the INA (adjudications) in order to determine that the individual is not a security or public-safety threat.  The Secretary of Homeland Security may conclude that certain information is needed from particular countries even if it is not needed from every country.
(b)  The Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Director of National Intelligence, shall submit to the President a report on the results of the worldwide review described in subsection (a) of this section, including the Secretary of Homeland Security's determination of the information needed from each country for adjudications and a list of countries that do not provide adequate information, within 20 days of the effective date of this order.  The Secretary of Homeland Security shall provide a copy of the report to the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and the Director of National Intelligence.
(c)  To temporarily reduce investigative burdens on relevant agencies during the review period described in subsection (a) of this section, to ensure the proper review and maximum utilization of available resources for the screening and vetting of foreign nationals, to ensure that adequate standards are established to prevent infiltration by foreign terrorists, and in light of the national security concerns referenced in section 1 of this order, I hereby proclaim, pursuant to sections 212(f) and 215(a) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) and 1185(a), that the unrestricted entry into the United States of nationals of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.  I therefore direct that the entry into the United States of nationals of those six countries be suspended for 90 days from the effective date of this order, subject to the limitations, waivers, and exceptions set forth in sections 3 and 12 of this order.
(d)  Upon submission of the report described in subsection (b) of this section regarding the information needed from each country for adjudications, the Secretary of State shall request that all foreign governments that do not supply such information regarding their nationals begin providing it within 50 days of notification.
(e)  After the period described in subsection (d) of this section expires, the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, shall submit to the President a list of countries recommended for inclusion in a Presidential proclamation that would prohibit the entry of appropriate categories of foreign nationals of countries that have not provided the information requested until they do so or until the Secretary of Homeland Security certifies that the country has an adequate plan to do so, or has adequately shared information through other means.  The Secretary of State, the Attorney General, or the Secretary of Homeland Security may also submit to the President the names of additional countries for which any of them recommends other lawful restrictions or limitations deemed necessary for the security or welfare of the United States.
(f)  At any point after the submission of the list described in subsection (e) of this section, the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, may submit to the President the names of any additional countries recommended for similar treatment, as well as the names of any countries that they recommend should be removed from the scope of a proclamation described in subsection (e) of this section.
(g)  The Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall submit to the President a joint report on the progress in implementing this order within 60 days of the effective date of this order, a second report within 90 days of the effective date of this order, a third report within 120 days of the effective date of this order, and a fourth report within 150 days of the effective date of this order.
Sec. 3.  Scope and Implementation of Suspension.
(a)  Scope.  Subject to the exceptions set forth in subsection (b) of this section and any waiver under subsection (c) of this section, the suspension of entry pursuant to section 2 of this order shall apply only to foreign nationals of the designated countries who:

(i)    are outside the United States on the effective date of this order; 

(ii)   did not have a valid visa at 5:00 p.m., eastern standard time on January 27, 2017; and 

(iii)  do not have a valid visa on the effective date of this order.

(b)  Exceptions.  The suspension of entry pursuant to section 2 of this order shall not apply to:

(i)    any lawful permanent resident of the United States;

(ii)   any foreign national who is admitted to or paroled into the United States on or after the effective date of this order;

(iii)  any foreign national who has a document other than a visa, valid on the effective date of this order or issued on any date thereafter, that permits him or her to travel to the United States and seek entry or admission, such as an advance parole document;

(iv)   any dual national of a country designated under section 2 of this order when the individual is traveling on a passport issued by a non-designated country;

(v)    any foreign national traveling on a diplomatic or diplomatic-type visa, North Atlantic Treaty Organization visa, C-2 visa for travel to the United Nations, or G-1, G-2, G-3, or G-4 visa; or

(vi)   any foreign national who has been granted asylum; any refugee who has already been admitted to the United States; or any individual who has been granted withholding of removal, advance parole, or protection under the Convention Against Torture.

(c)  Waivers.  Notwithstanding the suspension of entry pursuant to section 2 of this order, a consular officer, or, as appropriate, the Commissioner, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), or the Commissioner's delegee, may, in the consular officer's or the CBP official's discretion, decide on a case-by-case basis to authorize the issuance of a visa to, or to permit the entry of, a foreign national for whom entry is otherwise suspended if the foreign national has demonstrated to the officer's satisfaction that denying entry during the suspension period would cause undue hardship, and that his or her entry would not pose a threat to national security and would be in the national interest.  Unless otherwise specified by the Secretary of Homeland Security, any waiver issued by a consular officer as part of the visa issuance process will be effective both for the issuance of a visa and any subsequent entry on that visa, but will leave all other requirements for admission or entry unchanged.  Case-by-case waivers could be appropriate in circumstances such as the following:

(i)    the foreign national has previously been admitted to the United States for a continuous period of work, study, or other long-term activity, is outside the United States on the effective date of this order, seeks to reenter the United States to resume that activity, and the denial of reentry during the suspension period would impair that activity;

(ii)    the foreign national has previously established significant contacts with the United States but is outside the United States on the effective date of this order for work, study, or other lawful activity;

(iii)   the foreign national seeks to enter the United States for significant business or professional obligations and the denial of entry during the suspension period would impair those obligations;

(iv)    the foreign national seeks to enter the United States to visit or reside with a close family member (e.g., a spouse, child, or parent) who is a United States citizen, lawful permanent resident, or alien lawfully admitted on a valid nonimmigrant visa, and the denial of entry during the suspension period would cause undue hardship;

(v)the foreign national is an infant, a young child or adoptee, an individual needing urgent medical care, or someone whose entry is otherwise justified by the special circumstances of the case;

(vi)    the foreign national has been employed by, or on behalf of, the United States Government (or is an eligible dependent of such an employee) and the employee can document that he or she has provided faithful and valuable service to the United States Government;

(vii)   the foreign national is traveling for purposes related to an international organization designated under the International Organizations Immunities Act (IOIA), 22 U.S.C. 288 et seq., traveling for purposes of conducting meetings or business with the United States Government, or traveling to conduct business on behalf of an international organization not designated under the IOIA;

(viii)  the foreign national is a landed Canadian immigrant who applies for a visa at a location within Canada; or

(ix)    the foreign national is traveling as a United States Government-sponsored exchange visitor.

Sec. 4.  Additional Inquiries Related to Nationals of Iraq.  An application by any Iraqi national for a visa, admission, or other immigration benefit should be subjected to thorough review, including, as appropriate, consultation with a designee of the Secretary of Defense and use of the additional information that has been obtained in the context of the close U.S.-Iraqi security partnership, since Executive Order 13769 was issued, concerning individuals suspected of ties to ISIS or other terrorist organizations and individuals coming from territories controlled or formerly controlled by ISIS.  Such review shall include consideration of whether the applicant has connections with ISIS or other terrorist organizations or with territory that is or has been under the dominant influence of ISIS, as well as any other information bearing on whether the applicant may be a threat to commit acts of terrorism or otherwise threaten the national security or public safety of the United States.
Sec. 5.  Implementing Uniform Screening and Vetting Standards for All Immigration Programs.  (a)  The Secretary of State, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Director of National Intelligence shall implement a program, as part of the process for adjudications, to identify individuals who seek to enter the United States on a fraudulent basis, who support terrorism, violent extremism, acts of violence toward any group or class of people within the United States, or who present a risk of causing harm subsequent to their entry.  This program shall include the development of a uniform baseline for screening and vetting standards and procedures, such as in-person interviews; a database of identity documents proffered by applicants to ensure that duplicate documents are not used by multiple applicants; amended application forms that include questions aimed at identifying fraudulent answers and malicious intent; a mechanism to ensure that applicants are who they claim to be; a mechanism to assess whether applicants may commit, aid, or support any kind of violent, criminal, or terrorist acts after entering the United States; and any other appropriate means for ensuring the proper collection of all information necessary for a rigorous evaluation of all grounds of inadmissibility or grounds for the denial of other immigration benefits.

(b)  The Secretary of Homeland Security, in conjunction with the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and the Director of National Intelligence, shall submit to the President an initial report on the progress of the program described in subsection (a) of this section within 60 days of the effective date of this order, a second report within 100 days of the effective date of this order, and a third report within 200 days of the effective date of this order.

Sec. 6.  Realignment of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program for Fiscal Year 2017.  (a)  The Secretary of State shall suspend travel of refugees into the United States under the USRAP, and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall suspend decisions on applications for refugee status, for 120 days after the effective date of this order, subject to waivers pursuant to subsection (c) of this section.  During the 120-day period, the Secretary of State, in conjunction with the Secretary of Homeland Security and in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence, shall review the USRAP application and adjudication processes to determine what additional procedures should be used to ensure that individuals seeking admission as refugees do not pose a threat to the security and welfare of the United States, and shall implement such additional procedures.  The suspension described in this subsection shall not apply to refugee applicants who, before the effective date of this order, have been formally scheduled for transit by the Department of State.  The Secretary of State shall resume travel of refugees into the United States under the USRAP 120 days after the effective date of this order, and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall resume making decisions on applications for refugee status only for stateless persons and nationals of countries for which the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Director of National Intelligence have jointly determined that the additional procedures implemented pursuant to this subsection are adequate to ensure the security and welfare of  the United States.
(b)  Pursuant to section 212(f) of the INA, I hereby proclaim that the entry of more than 50,000 refugees in fiscal year 2017 would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, and thus suspend any entries in excess of that number until such time as I determine that additional entries would be in the national interest.
(c)  Notwithstanding the temporary suspension imposed pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security may jointly determine to admit individuals to the United States as refugees on a case-by-case basis, in their discretion, but only so long as they determine that the entry of such individuals as refugees is in the national interest and does not pose a threat to the security or welfare of the United States, including in circumstances such as the following:  the individual's entry would enable the United States to conform its conduct to a preexisting international agreement or arrangement, or the denial of entry would cause undue hardship.
(d)  It is the policy of the executive branch that, to the extent permitted by law and as practicable, State and local jurisdictions be granted a role in the process of determining the placement or settlement in their jurisdictions of aliens eligible to be admitted to the United States as refugees.  To that end, the Secretary of State shall examine existing law to determine the extent to which, consistent with applicable law, State and local jurisdictions may have greater involvement in the process of determining the placement or resettlement of refugees in their jurisdictions, and shall devise a proposal to lawfully promote such involvement.
Sec. 7.  Rescission of Exercise of Authority Relating to the Terrorism Grounds of Inadmissibility.  The Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall, in consultation with the Attorney General, consider rescinding the exercises of authority permitted by section 212(d)(3)(B) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1182(d)(3)(B), relating to the terrorism grounds of inadmissibility, as well as any related implementing directives or guidance.
Sec. 8.  Expedited Completion of the Biometric Entry-Exit Tracking System.  (a)  The Secretary of Homeland Security shall expedite the completion and implementation of a biometric entry exit tracking system for in-scope travelers to the United States, as recommended by the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States.
(b)  The Secretary of Homeland Security shall submit to the President periodic reports on the progress of the directive set forth in subsection (a) of this section.  The initial report shall be submitted within 100 days of the effective date of this order, a second report shall be submitted within 200 days of the effective date of this order, and a third report shall be submitted within 365 days of the effective date of this order.  The Secretary of Homeland Security shall submit further reports every 180 days thereafter until the system is fully deployed and operational.
Sec. 9.  Visa Interview Security.  (a)  The Secretary of State shall immediately suspend the Visa Interview Waiver Program and ensure compliance with section 222 of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1202, which requires that all individuals seeking a nonimmigrant visa undergo an in-person interview, subject to specific statutory exceptions.  This suspension shall not apply to any foreign national traveling on a diplomatic or diplomatic-type visa, North Atlantic Treaty Organization visa, C-2 visa for travel to the United Nations, or G-1, G-2, G-3, or G-4 visa; traveling for purposes related to an international organization designated under the IOIA; or traveling for purposes of conducting meetings or business with the United States Government.
(b)  To the extent permitted by law and subject to the availability of appropriations, the Secretary of State shall immediately expand the Consular Fellows Program, including by substantially increasing the number of Fellows, lengthening or making permanent the period of service, and making language training at the Foreign Service Institute available to Fellows for assignment to posts outside of their area of core linguistic ability, to ensure that nonimmigrant visa-interview wait times are not unduly affected.
Sec. 10.  Visa Validity Reciprocity.  The Secretary of State shall review all nonimmigrant visa reciprocity agreements and arrangements to ensure that they are, with respect to each visa classification, truly reciprocal insofar as practicable with respect to validity period and fees, as required by sections 221(c) and 281 of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1201(c) and 1351, and other treatment.  If another country does not treat United States nationals seeking nonimmigrant visas in a truly reciprocal manner, the Secretary of State shall adjust the visa validity period, fee schedule, or other treatment to match the treatment of United States nationals by that foreign country, to the extent practicable.
Sec. 11.  Transparency and Data Collection.  (a)  To be more transparent with the American people and to implement more effectively policies and practices that serve the national interest, the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Attorney General, shall, consistent with applicable law and national security, collect and make publicly available the following information:

(i)    information regarding the number of foreign nationals in the United States who have been charged with terrorism-related offenses while in the United States; convicted of terrorism-related offenses while in the United States; or removed from the United States based on terrorism-related activity, affiliation with or provision of material support to a terrorism-related organization, or any other national-security-related reasons;

(ii)   information regarding the number of foreign nationals in the United States who have been radicalized after entry into the United States and who have engaged in terrorism-related acts, or who have provided material support to terrorism-related organizations in countries that pose a threat to the United States; 

(iii)  information regarding the number and types of acts of gender-based violence against women, including so-called "honor killings," in the United States by foreign nationals; and

(iv)   any other information relevant to public safety and security as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security or the Attorney General, including information on the immigration status of foreign nationals charged with major offenses.

(b)  The Secretary of Homeland Security shall release the initial report under subsection (a) of this section within 180 days of the effective date of this order and shall include information for the period from September 11, 2001, until the date of the initial report.  Subsequent reports shall be issued every 180 days thereafter and reflect the period since the previous report.
Sec. 12.  Enforcement.  (a)  The Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall consult with appropriate domestic and international partners, including countries and organizations, to ensure efficient, effective, and appropriate implementation of the actions directed in this order.
(b)  In implementing this order, the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including, as appropriate, those providing an opportunity for individuals to claim a fear of persecution or torture, such as the credible fear determination for aliens covered by section 235(b)(1)(A) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(1)(A).
(c)  No immigrant or nonimmigrant visa issued before the effective date of this order shall be revoked pursuant to this order.
(d)  Any individual whose visa was marked revoked or marked canceled as a result of Executive Order 13769 shall be entitled to a travel document confirming that the individual is permitted to travel to the United States and seek entry.  Any prior cancellation or revocation of a visa that was solely pursuant to Executive Order 13769 shall not be the basis of inadmissibility for any future determination about entry or admissibility.
(e)  This order shall not apply to an individual who has been granted asylum, to a refugee who has already been admitted to the United States, or to an individual granted withholding of removal or protection under the Convention Against Torture.  Nothing in this order shall be construed to limit the ability of an individual to seek asylum, withholding of removal, or protection under the Convention Against Torture, consistent with the laws of the United States.
Sec. 13.  Revocation.  Executive Order 13769 of January 27, 2017, is revoked as of the effective date of this order.
Sec. 14.  Effective Date.  This order is effective at 12:01 a.m., eastern daylight time on March 16, 2017.
Sec. 15.  Severability.  (a)  If any provision of this order, or the application of any provision to any person or circumstance, is held to be invalid, the remainder of this order and the application of its other provisions to any other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.
(b)  If any provision of this order, or the application of any provision to any person or circumstance, is held to be invalid because of the lack of certain procedural requirements, the relevant executive branch officials shall implement those procedural requirements.
Sec. 16.  General Provisions.  (a)  Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i)   the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or

(ii)  the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(b)  This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
(c)  This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
