Arizonans react to President Donald Trump's immigration ban

President Donald Trump issued a temporary ban on entries to the United States from seven Muslim-majority countries Friday. The ban affects not only new refugees to the country, but green-card holders who are authorized to live and work in the U.S.

Travelers trying to reach, or return to, the country have been turned back as they tried to board planes overseas, forced to turn around once they reached the U.S. or detained at their U.S. airport destination. Officials with Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport declined to say whether anyone had been detained in Phoenix, and referred all questions to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Homeland Security officials could not be reached for comment.

Here's how some Arizonans are reacting to the ban:

Democratic U.S. Rep. Ruben Gallego tweeted a statement directed toward Speaker of the House Paul Ryan.

Former Arizona Sen. Al Melvin tweeted a positive response to Trump's enforcement on immigration.

Other Arizonans also have reacted to the ban via Twitter with the hashtag #MuslimBan.
