The current president, Donald Trump, has imposed a travel restriction that is not an abuse of his executive powers, due to immigration law, constitutional authority, and his oath of office.

Lastly, a given statement from the U.S. District Court in February by Judge James Robart, leans people toward the opinion that the travel ban is an abuse. Judge James himself feels that the travel ban will affect the states’ areas of education, employment business, family relations, etc. He states, “The Executive Order adversely affects the states’
