Zuvor war bekanntgeworden, dass mehrere Flüchtlinge an US-Flughäfen wegen Trumps Dekret zum „Schutz der Nation vor der Einreise ausländischer Terroristen in die Vereinigten Staaten“ in Gewahrsam genommen worden waren.

Die Maßnahmen der Regierung seien nicht verfassungskonform, die Festnahme von Menschen mit gültigen Visa sei illegal, argumentierten die Bürgerrechtler. Zudem forderten die Kläger die Freilassung von zwei Irakern, die am New Yorker Flughafen festgenommen worden waren.

Human rights groups reported that legal permanent residents of the United States who hold green cards were being stopped in foreign airports as they sought to return from funerals, vacations or study abroad — a clear indication that Mr. Trump’s directive is being applied broadly.

Das Gespräch dauerte 45 Minuten, wie die Agentur Reuters unter Berufung auf einen hochrangigen Beamten aus der US-Präsidialverwaltung meldet.

“Syria and Iraq has a great importance for Turkish and British relations. We want to have a much different concept in the upcoming period for the cooperation between Turkey and the coalition powers. We have discussed these issues,” said Erdoğan.

May has also praised Turkey for its pro-democracy stance in the July 15 coup attempt and added that “carrying our relationship to a further level is for the benefit of both countries.”

„The U.S. is responsible for the U.S. policy on refugees,“ May told reporters Saturday at a news conference in Ankara, the Turkish capital, after ignoring the question three times.

The ban extends to green card holders who are authorized to live and work in the United States, according to Gillian Christensen, a Homeland Security spokeswoman.

In den vergangenen Monaten hatte Moskau mehrere Gespräche zwischen der syrischen Regierung und der PYD vermittelt.

An earlier draft contained a section for the creation of “safe zones” for refugees in and around Syria. According to Zogby, this would have committed tens of thousands of U.S. troops to maintain these zones and likely drawn the U.S. deep into a ground war in Syria. The administration removed this section before it was signed.

Inside the West Wing, it is almost impossible for some aides to know what is in the executive orders, staffers say. They have been written by Stephen Miller, Trump’s senior White House adviser for policy, and Steve Bannon, Trump’s chief strategist, according to people familiar with the matter. Ideas for some of the Trump executive orders came from transition officials and so-called “landing teams,” sources say, who weren’t working in the White House.
