SPC

Sort of predictable, people with Green cards are being held at the US border or prevented from boarding planes to the USA.

This has all the hallmarks of the Obamacare website scenario.

  Apparently the Trump order does not specify those with Green Cards who have permanent residence in the USA. And they are being excluded if they come from the countries (citizens or departing from?) subject to the ban on entry to the USA (the only exception being diplomats).
