Charlie Flanagan to query US travel ban and undocumented Irish with new US administration

Foreign Affairs Minister Charlie Flanagan is expected to raise the new travel ban and the undocumented Irish when he meets officials with the US new administration.

The Irish Examiner understands a passenger had dual citizenship and was denied permission on Monday evening to board a flight as they tried to go through US pre-clearance at Dublin airport.

The refusal was the first here since President Donald Trump’s executive order was signed, temporarily banning entry into the US from seven countries.
