President Donald Trump’s executive action temporarily suspending “immigrants and nonimmigrants” from seven countries left some people stuck at JFK International in New York who were en route to the U.S. when the order was signed. Two people have reportedly been allowed into the country and at this time others remain detained at the airport.
