GOP Lawmakers Distance Themselves From Trump's Executive Order

Top Republican lawmakers are distancing themselves from President Donald Trump’s executive order to temporarily bar entry into the United States for citizens from seven countries and refugees, amid confusion over the order’s scope and implementation.

“In light of the confusion and uncertainty created in the wake of the President’s Executive Order, it is clear adjustments are needed,” House Homeland Security Committee chairman Michael McCaul said in a statement Sunday night. “In the future, such policy changes should be better coordinated with the agencies implementing them and with Congress to ensure we get it right.”
