Some articles refer to, "citizens" of the seven countries, some articles say, "hails from," and none that I have read address dual citizenship (not sure if Mo is dual or just British).
Mo hails from Somalia, one of the seven countries.

Mo hails from Somalia, one of the seven countries.
I saw on twitter (so obviously unofficial) that he is a dual Somali-UK citizen and would therefore be covered
Farah may indeed be unable to return to his family in Portland.
It seems like this question is on everyone's mind...

"Those with dual citizenship are also affected."

He would not be devastated by that. He has plenty of places to shack up with groupies, and offshore money hidden away. His wife can raise the kids full time without his being around ... oh wait, Farah has been pulling that off for years.
KEEP HIM OUT!!!!
He's screwed. Nice police state you idiots voted for.
So those on athlete and entertainer visas (like Farah) are banned? Pretty sure these people are NOT the problem.
Mo travels under a UK passport and will probably be entering the US from Britain. Unless he starts declaring to Department of Homeland Stupidity officials that he is Somali, they will let him in.

Your intelligent president banned all dual nationality citizens also. Farah is banned. US state department said so.
I'd rather Trump target NOPers directly than this religious profiling crap.
Hamaseh Tayari, a UK resident who holds an Iranian passport, who had been on holiday in Costa Rica, found she was unable to board her plane back to Glasgow because her flight went via New York. She found her transit visa had been revoked.
Ms Tayari, who grew up in Italy and works as a vet in the UK told the Guardian she had never experienced anything like this.
Be proud America of your farce of a country. The world is laughing at you. The only place on Earth where such a moron could get into power.

I hate that this is so true. I'm still blown away that this is my reality. And I'm shocked that people who blindly voted for him will still call me an over sensitive liberal and that I need to move on and accept my new emperor.
The only positive from this is that more people are in tune and listening/speaking about policies and issues than ever before. Positive change will be coming.

Couldn't agree more. The ban also bans people from those countries who have green cards (legal ability to work and live in the US). So if you are here you get to stay, if you are out of country you don't get allowed back. So let's pretend the country was Kenya instead of Somalia. Everyone from Kenya living and training here would be good. If you left, you wouldn't be allowed back.
I've read it may be unconstitutional. Who knows how quickly they can sort that out because non-citizens have less rights in court to begin with and if you're out of the country how to you establish jurisdiction in the country to sue?

As bad as Trump is, I don't think these are his ideas. He is just doing what the republicans and his deplorable voters want him to do.
Also, is it really the only country? Wasn't the Brexit vote (Farah's country!) also based in part on racism?

They implemented it without thinking. Typical of Trump. You cannot even fly via the US to transfer planes. A complete and total clusterf*ck if ever there was one.

Judge Ann M. Donnelly has issued a stay. The ban is off for now because she judged that it indeed is likely to be unconstitutional.

He signed the decree. Which forced it to be immediately implemented. He owns this one.
I think the opposite actually.
I think Trump is horrible and most Republicans are not.
You remember no other Republican supported him until very late in the campaign.
Wejo, well said.
I support the new pres, but throwing out GC holders who are already vetted is not right.
The protests in the last week didn't sway opinion. This single action will however.
They ran on removing illegals. Now they are removing legal permanent residents?
This will affect mid term results if not reversed. Landslide.
