Ex-CIA chief: Trump’s travel ban is ‘simplistic, misguided’

More experts and officials are expressing their opposition to Trump visa ban order and according to the US media, a federal judge in Hawaii last Wednesday extended his previous ruling blocking Trump's so-called 'travel ban'. The issue has been referred to the appeal court for final decision.

Speaking during an interview with the BBC, Brennan said that while he thinks 'it is very important that there are measures taken to protect countries from individuals who may be trying to enter the borders for terrorist purposes,' the proposed executive order would be counterproductive.

'First of all, a lot of citizens from those countries who have very legitimate reason to travel to the United States—family, personal, professional, educational—I think are really going to see this as reflecting a different approach and a different tone from the United States which has prided itself on our 241 years of welcoming people from all walks of life and all countries,' he said.
