Immigration officials weren't given instructions as how to deal with visas and green card recipients - otherwise those individuals wouldn't have been detained and not allowed to speak with their lawyers.Trump and co. initially insisted that visa and green card holders WERE included. They have since decided to walk that back some but people are still being detained and some agencies are ignoring court orders to stop detaining such people.
The Trump Administration backtracked only after it was confronted with a political firestorm and the adverse decisions by several federal court judges.
For a businessman who supposedly has decades of experience of managing issues and dealing with the public, this was yet another public relations disaster!
