‘It is the president’s solemn duty to protect the American people’

TILLERSON: “Protecting the nation from foreign terrorist entry into the United States is a vital measure for strengthening our national security. It is the president’s solemn duty to protect the American people. And with this order, President Trump is exercising his rightful authority to keep our people safe. As threats to our security continue to evolve and change common sense dictates that we continually reevaluate and reassess the systems we rely upon to protect our country."
