U(D54G1D)y+"!]!#!=!/ CAIRO — The Germans criti- cized it. The British voiced their discomfort. The French, the Cana- dians and even some Republican senators in Washington stood in open opposition. But in Cairo and Riyadh, in the heart of the Muslim world, Presi- dent Trump’s decision to bar mil- lions of refugees and citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from the United States was met with a conspicuous silence. King Salman of Saudi Arabia, home of Islam’s holiest sites, spoke to Mr. Trump by telephone on Sunday but made no public comment. President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt, whose capital, Cairo, is a traditional seat of Is- lamic scholarship, said nothing. Even the Organization of Is- lamic Cooperation, a group of 57 nations that considers itself the collective voice of the Muslim world, kept quiet. Leaders in Iran and Iraq, two of the countries targeted by Mr. Trump’s order, issued furious de- nunciations on Sunday and vowed to take retaliatory measures. But the silence in the capitals of Mus- lim-majority countries unaffected by the order reflected a lack of sol- idarity and an enduring uncer- tainty about the direction that Mr. Trump’s foreign policy might take in some of the world’s most vola- tile corners. Will he move the American Em- bassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Je- rusalem? Designate Egypt’s Mus- lim Brotherhood as a terrorist or- ganization? Fall in line with Rus- sia in dealing with the conflict in Syria? “Trump has promised to do all kinds of things, but it’s not clear what he will move on immedi- ately,” said Nathan J. Brown, a Middle East expert at George Washington University. “Nobody seems to know. It’s not even clear if Trump knows.” The lack of unity stems from an old problem: Muslim leaders pay lip service to the “ummah,” or global community of Muslims, but are more often driven by narrow national interests — even when faced with grave actions seen as an affront to their own people. “They don’t have a strong basis of legitimacy at home,” said Rami G. Khouri, director of the Issam Fares Institute at the American University of Beirut. “They are delicately perched between the anger of their own people and the anger they might generate from the American president.” Still, Mr. Trump’s executive or- der — which froze all refugee ar- rivals in the United States and barred the entry of citizens of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Heads of Muslim Nations Not Targeted Are Conspicuously Silent By DECLAN WALSH TECH WORLD Silicon Valley de- nounced the president’s move to bar certain immigrants.

Despair at the Airport WASHINGTON — Travelers were stranded around the world, protests escalated in the United States and anxiety rose within President Trump’s party on Sun- day as his order closing the nation to refugees and people from cer- tain predominantly Muslim coun- tries provoked a crisis just days into his administration. The White House pulled back on part of Mr. Trump’s temporary ban on visitors from seven coun- tries by saying that it would not apply to those with green cards granting them permanent resi- dence in the United States. By the end of the day, the Department of Homeland Security formally is- sued an order declaring legal resi- dents exempt from the order. But the recalibration did little to reassure critics at home or abroad who saw the president’s order as a retreat from traditional American values. European leaders de- nounced the order, and some Re- publican lawmakers called on Mr. Trump to back down. As of Sun- day evening, officials said no one was being held at American air- ports, although lawyers said they believed that dozens were still be- ing detained. More than any of the myriad moves Mr. Trump has made in his frenetic opening days in office, the immigration order has quickly come to define his emerging presi- dency as one driven by a desire for decisive action even at the ex- pense of deliberate process or co- alition building. It has thrust the nine-day-old administration into its first constitutional conflict, as multiple courts have intervened to block aspects of the order, and into its broadest diplomatic inci- dent, with overseas allies object- ing. The White House was left to de- fend what seemed to many gov- ernment veterans like a slapdash process. Aides to Mr. Trump in- sisted they had consulted for weeks with relevant officials, but the head of the customs and bor- der service in the Obama adminis- tration, who resigned on inaugu- ration day, said the incoming pres- ident’s team never talked with him about it.

It was the first counterterrorism opera- tion authorized by President Trump since he took office, and the commando was the first United States service member to die in the yearslong shadow war against Al Qaeda’s Yemen affili- ate. Members of the Navy’s SEAL Team 6 carried out the surprise dawn attack, and the military said that about 14 Qaeda fighters were killed during a nearly hourlong battle. A Qaeda leader — a brother-in-law of Anwar al- Awlaki, the American-born cleric and top Qaeda leader in Yemen, who died in a drone strike in 2011 — was believed to have been killed. After initially denying that there were any civilian casualties, American officials said they were assessing reports that women and children had died in the attack. The military’s Joint Special Op- erations Command had been plan- ning the mission for months, ac- cording to three senior American officials.

Gen. John F. Kelly, the secretary of homeland security, had dialed in from a Coast Guard plane as he headed back to Washington from Miami. Along with other top offi- cials, he needed guidance from the White House, which had not asked his department for a legal review of the order. Halfway into the briefing, some- one on the call looked up at a tele- vision in his office. “The president is signing the executive order that we’re discussing,” the official said, stunned. The global confusion that has since erupted is the story of a White House that rushed to enact, with little regard for basic govern- ing, a core campaign promise that Mr. Trump made to his most fer- vent supporters. In his first week in office, Mr. Trump signed other executive actions with little or no legal review, but his order barring refugees has had the most explo- sive implications. Passengers were barred from flights to the United States, customs and border control offi- cials got instructions at 3 a.m. Sat- urday and some arrived at their posts later that morning still not knowing how to carry out the president’s orders. “The details of it were not thought through,” said Stephen Heifetz, who served in the Justice and Homeland Security Depart- ments, as well as the C.I.A., under the previous three presidents. “It is not surprising there was mass confusion, and I expect the confu- sion and chaos will continue for some time.” How a Rushed Order Ignited Global Confusion By MICHAEL D. SHEAR and RON NIXON Chaos on Immigration Caught Officials Off Guard Continued on Page A10 WASHINGTON — The whirl- wind first week of Donald J. Trump’s presidency had all the bravura hallmarks of a Stephen K. Bannon production. It started with the doom-hued inauguration homily to “American carnage” in United States cities co-written by Mr. Bannon, fol- lowed a few days later by his “shut up” message to the news media. The week culminated with a bliz- zard of executive orders, mostly hatched by Mr. Bannon’s team and the White House policy advis- er, Stephen Miller, aimed at disori- enting the “enemy,” fulfilling cam- paign promises and distracting at- tention from Mr. Trump’s less than flawless debut. But the defining moment for Mr. Bannon came Saturday night in the form of an executive order giv- ing the rumpled right-wing agita- tor a full seat on the “principals committee” of the National Secu- rity Council — while downgrading the roles of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the direc- tor of national intelligence, who will now attend only when the council is considering issues in their direct areas of responsibil- ities. It is a startling elevation of a political adviser, to a status along- side the secretaries of state and defense, and over the president’s top military and intelligence ad- visers.
