On April 20, 2020, President Trump tweeted: “In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States!” This broadly vague statement has obviously caused great concern and confusion; however, the impact of the actual order will not be known until the content of the order has been revealed, which is expected to happen in the next few days. Additionally, depending on the claimed legal basis for such action, litigation is also expected. We will provide further updates and guidance on the practical impact of this action as more information is released.
