Despite only being signed a matter of hours ago, President Trump’s executive order banning US entry for refugees from seven Muslim-majority countries is already having life-changing consequences.

There are multiple reports of refugees being detained or turned away at American airports.

Even green-card holders, legal permanent US residents, are being denied entry back into the country.
