SUNY Warns 320 Students from Trump's Banned Countries to Avoid Traveling Abroad


The State University of New York system issued a statement Sunday warning its 320 students from countries banned by President Donald Trump's executive order to avoid travel.

"SUNY is reviewing President Trump's Executive Order and surveying its campuses to determine the impact it may have on our students, faculty, and staff both abroad and at home on our 64 college and university campuses," the statement said.

Trump's order temporarily banned all refugees from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Libya and Yemen from entering the U.S. Some people with valid visas traveling back to the U.S. from those countries were originally detained, but the Trump administration on Saturday said those people with green cards would be allowed into the U.S.

SUNY's statement did not specify how the executive action could affect SUNY students, but they are reviewing any possible complications for students. The SUNY system said it will do what it can within the law to support any students from the banned countries.
