Can someone check into this?

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by DonViejo (a host of the Editorials & Other Articles group).

I was just talking to someone in Sweden who has told me that the American Embassy there has been instructed not to let anyone in from the seven countries named in Trump Travel Ban EO...this will keep them from applying for a Visa. If this is true, this is more than disturbing.

in Sweden was refusing to grant US visas to people from the 7 countries who are currently in Sweden and wanting to travel to the US. That makes more sense.
