About 90000 affected by travel ban

By Glenn Kessler

President Trump and his aides love to cite a small number and a big number in order to minimize the impact of the president’s executive order suspending the visas of citizens of seven countries.

But these figures are incredibly misleading ...

Officials have not responded to repeated requests for an updated number on the number of people detained at U.S. airports ...

... The universe of people likely affected by the travel suspension is around 90,000 — not 109.
