2) Impossible to know how adhere to an executive order if you can't confirm its existence. Are you breaking the law? Who knows? Not you.

2) Authorities, like the customs agent quoted here, was being unnecessarily abusive. "Call Mr. Trump."pic.twitter.com/vOhaHaAnEH

A refugee is a person forced to leave their country due to war, persecution, natural disaster, etc. Trump is now creating refugees.
