One week after former president Donald Trump took office, he announced an executive order banning people from several Muslim majority countries from entering the US.

I'm establishing new vetting measures to keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the United States of America. We don't want them here.

This was Trump's so-called Muslim ban, a promise he had made during his election campaign.

Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.

At the time, I was in the United States and Queens and I was kind of sad. I heard it on the TV. I heard the speech by President Donald Trump.

This is Nasser Al-Moghnahi, he's an American citizen from Yemen.

I was thinking it's not going to have a lot of effect on a lot of people or on a lot of families.

I wouldn't think it kind of got escalated and it got serious.

Al-Moghnahi's wife had been in Yemen for years at this point.

He had started the visa application process to bring her to the US long before Trump ever took office.

And now Yemen was one of the countries on Trump's ban list.

I thought it wouldn't have effect in my case.

And I thought this ban might not even take effect because it's outrage.

But Al-Moghnahi and his family were affected, along with tens of thousands of others.

This ban shut out travelers who were all ready on their way to the US.

Visas were canceled, people were detained and sent back home, chaos erupted at airports around the US.

Americans protested for days across the country.

The protests at airports in the Bay Area and across the nation.

Thousands of demonstrators descended on Philadelphia International Airport today.

Filling five different McNamara terminal locations with faults,
