President Trump insists immigration ban is not a Muslim ban
It comes following Donald Trump's announcement this week to halt entry to the US to people from Syria and six other mainly Muslim countries
Donald Trump insists his immigration reforms are "not a Muslim ban", and says they're "working out very nicely".
The US president has been widely criticised for temporarily halting the arrival of refugees and putting controls on travellers from mainly Muslim countries.
The executive order which has been implemented at Dublin and Shannon Airports, bans nationals from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen for three months - it bans those fleeing from war-torn Syria indefinitely - and it stops the admission of all refugees for four months.
There have been protests at airports, but President Trump is standing by his decisions.
