US Homeland Security chief John Kelly said Saturday that a
new presidential immigrant ban will be better prepared and implemented to
ensure there is no repeat of the chaos caused by the first. He said President
Donald Trump was working on a “streamlined” version of the original executive
order banning travel from seven predominantly Muslim nations, which was quickly
overturned by the courts.
Trump said Thursday he would announce a new executive order
on immigration next week after federal courts suspended his ban on the ground
it targeted Muslims and was implemented without due care or preparation.
Kelly told the Munich Security Conference that the
administration had been surprised by the ruling and would try to do better.
“I would say the president is contemplating releasing a
tighter, more streamlined version,” he said. “We will have this time the
opportunity to work the roll-out plan in particular to make sure there is no
one … caught in the system.”
