I know this thread is old now, but I wanted to update with a follow-up. Reuters has edited the story linked above [0] to state that the spokeswoman had improperly stated the effect and that, per a "senior administration official", permanent residents will be allowed to enter the United States after a "routine rescreening". [Permanent residents, or "green card holders", are non-citizens who have been granted a permanent right to reside in the United States.] As expected, this is just another case of the media heavily misrepresenting an action by Trump because they want to destroy him at any cost.

  As the administration itself implements and interprets its own policies (at least until judicial intervention corrects that interpretation), thus creating the consequences of enforcement, that doesn't seem likely.

    The administration wrote the policy then the DHS interpreted it. Then the administration overruled that interpretation. And then about a day later the administration changed its mind. It's almost as if they should've thought about this proposal for another 48 hours before signing it.
