A Pakistani Christian family is scheduled to arrive in the U.S. next week as refugees. Will they be allowed to stay?

LA Times  

President Trump signs executive orders at the Department of Defense on Jan. 27, 2017, in Arlington, Va., including his original travel ban. With exceptions for people with a “bona fide relationship” to schools, employers, family or other U.S. entities, the ban going into effect Thursday will block admissions of people from six majority-Muslim countries for 90 days as the government evaluates its vetting procedures. The State Department is studying how to define “bona fide relationship,” spokeswoman Heather Nauert said this week. “We will make it.” But a representative of the resettlement agency helping her family, the International Rescue Committee, said he’s less sure because her scheduled arrival comes at the brink of the deadline. People with bona fide ties should include “anyone who has an existing relationship with a nonprofit, frankly tens of thousands of refugees,” said Becca Heller, director of the International Refugee Assistance Project.
