Today, January 28th 2017, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security clarified that Trump’s executive order will stop green card holders from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen from returning to the United States if they travel abroad. "It will bar green card holders,“ Gillian Christensen, acting Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman, said.(source)

Later in the day an administration official said that they’re making “case-by-case” exceptions to allow certain green-card holders into the US. (source) Some residents are being admitted after lots of questioning but many are being turned away. Those who hold long-term temporary visas will also be included in this. (source) This mainly includes students and workers who have the right to live in the United States for years at a time. 

Note that Canadian citizens who are also citizens of these seven countries have also been banned from entering the United States. (source) In fact, all citizens who hold dual nationality with one of the seven banned countries are barred from entering the U.S. and those who initially hail from one of those seven countries but travel on passports issued from another non-banned nation will also be barred. (source)

Keep all this in mind if you are or were planning to travel and this applies to you.
