Visa holders are not "legal immigrants". A visa holder is a legal non-immigrant (ie, someone who can be here or work here temporarily). A legal immigrant is someone with lives permanently in the US, a citizen or green card holder. Did green cards get revoked for those from the high risk countries?

Sure, let's go with your argument.
Green card holders are most definitely legal permanent residents. Yet many of them were detained at airports for days. That would seem like a problem, no?

Trump explicitly campaigned on "no problems for legal immigrants"

Explain that, if you can.

First off, I haven't heard anything about "many of them detained for days". I know some underwent questioning for hours, not days.

That's an unfortunate side effect of the execution. It should have been executed better so there wouldn't be the confusion on the part of the DHS etc in how the order was to be implemented.

What point are you trying to make?

The point is that Trump clearly not following his own campaign promises, and his followers not calling him out on it.

You think he's promising to do all sorts of stuff, make massive changes to DC and how our government works (or doesn't work) and not have there be any hiccups or any minor issues along the way? Really?

We're not. In fact, the only ones that keep bringing up the election is the President and his base. Over and over and over.
