Timeline: The evolution of Trump’s travel ban
Monday morning the White House rolled out the latest version of President Trump’s immigration policy, with the president signing the revised executive order.

The lineage of the order can be traced back to 2015 and the Republican primary, where in the wake of the San Bernardino shooting, then-candidate Trump called for temporarily banning Muslims from entering the United States.
