US President Donald Trump’s immigration decree, which denies the entry into the country of all refugees from six Muslim-majority countries, comes into effect from this Thursday.

The order, supposedly designed to prevent the arrival of terrorists, temporarily prohibits the entry into the US of citizens of six Nations with Muslim majority: Syria, Libya, Iran, Sudan, Somalia, and Yemen, as well as refugees from any place in the world.

The judges in charge decided to limit the effect of Trump´s decree, so that it could not apply to those persons who could justify a valid relationship with a person or entity in the United States.

The measure means that those citizens arriving from one of these countries to visit, study or work will be accepted in US territory.
