Isaaf Jamal Eddin lies in bed as her granddaughter, Judy Ulayyet, wipes away tears at a hospital in Munster, Indiana, on Saturday, January 28. The day before, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning nationals of seven Muslim-majority countries -- Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen -- from traveling to the US for at least the next 90 days. The executive order bans entry from those fleeing war-torn Syria indefinitely and also suspends the admission of all refugees to the United States for four months. At far left is Nour Ulayyet, Judy's mother and daughter of Eddin. Nour said her sister -- a Syrian living in Saudi Arabia -- had a valid visa to travel to the US but after arriving on Saturday, she was told at the airport that she couldn't enter to help care for their sick mother. Trump has issued a statement defending the new executive order, saying: "We will continue to show compassion to those fleeing oppression, but we will do so while protecting our own citizens and voters."

About 3,000 members of Israeli security forces were deployed to evacuate Amona, said police spokeman Micky Rosenfeld. And while some families left peacefully, there were clashes between police and about 1,000 protesters. The evacuation of Amona came the same day Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced plans for the construction of a new settlement.
