On Friday, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order introducing sweeping changes to some of the country’s border controls. The effects of these changes go beyond the suspension of all refugee admissions to the United States; they will also affect many of those lawfully living and/or working in the US – and that has presented immediate problems for multinational companies with global workforces, including many in the technology industry.
The order has banned all people from seven Muslim-majority nations – Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen – from entering the US for 90 days. The ban includes those with dual-nationalities shared with those countries, except for those with dual citizenship in the US.
