Many organizations reacted to the enactment of Executive Order 13769, titled "Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States," which was an executive order issued by United States President Donald Trump. Domestically, the order was criticized by Democratic and Republican members of Congress, universities, business leaders, major corporations, Catholic bishops, and Jewish organizations. Some 1,000 U.S. diplomats signed a dissent cable opposing the order, setting a record.[1] Public opinion was divided, with initial national polls yielding inconsistent results.[2] Protests against the order erupted in airports and cities.
Internationally, the order prompted broad condemnation, including from longstanding U.S. allies, although some leaders expressed support for it.[3][4][5] The travel ban and suspension of refugee admissions was criticized by top United Nations officials[6][7] and by a group of 40 Nobel laureates and thousands of other academics.[8] Dozens of medical and scientific groups protested the order as well.[9]
