Trump chief of staff Reince Priebus says Muslim immigration ban 'doesn't include Green Card holders' White House reverses immigration ban on Green Card holders
(35 minutes later)
Donald Trump's chief of staff, Reince Priebus, has told NBC News that the ban on immigration from some Muslim-majority countries does not include people who already have Green Cards. The White House appeared to make a major reversal on Donald Trump’s immigration ban Sunday morning, announcing that people with green cards from the seven affected countries would not be banned from entering the United States.
The President issued an executive order on Friday which implemented a 90-day ban on the issuing of visas for citizens from Somalia, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya and Yemen. White House chief of staff, Reince Priebus, made an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press to defend the controversial executive order that bans immigration from Muslim-majority countries.
But the order led to confusion within the US government over what to do with people from the seven countries in question who have already been approved for entry into the US, including those with the right to live and work there, who have been returning to America in the last couple of days. On Saturday, travellers around the world, legal US residents who hold green cards, were denied entry into the country, prevented from boarding planes, and detained in airports. 
More follows Now, Mr Priebus is promising that the ban will not affect green card holders going forward.
"If you're an American citizen travelling back and forth to Libya, you are likely to be subjected to further questioning when you come into an airport," he said on the program, adding, "There is discretionary authority that a custos and border patrol agent has when they suspect that someone is up to no good when they travel back and forth to Libya or Yemen."
