Holding meetings exclusively outside the US means that anyone living

from such a meeting.
It has been announced that the ban does not apply to green card holders.
What has been announced and what is happening are very different. Example:
"I was born in Baltimore MD in 1951. That automatically makes
me an American. Interesting and creepy experience checking into
Houston International Airport this morning. I was detained for
almost an hour by the TSA with questions about my travels to
North Africa (1970s), my current social media communications
with friends in Taiwan, Indonesia, Bangladesh and Morocco to
name a few, where I have had friends for years and decades.
These communications consist mainly of flowers, children, dogs,
recipes and understanding of our different cultures. I was
asked if I was Christian, and I said yes I am. My passport was
taken, and was told it would be returned by mail in 14 business
days. [...]"
Citizen. Detained. Interrogated. Passport confiscated.
