White House reverses travel ban on green card holders

The White House appeared to reverse a key proponent of Donald Trump’s immigration ban Sunday morning, announcing that residents with green cards from the seven affected countries would not be banned from entering the United States. White House chief of staff, Reince Priebus, made an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press to defend the controversial executive order that bans immigration from Muslim-majority countries. On Saturday, travellers around the world, legal US residents who hold green cards, were denied entry into the country, prevented from boarding planes, and detained in airports.
