Press conference happening now at Dulles Airport with Gov. Terry McAuliffe and AG Mark Herring re: Trump’s disgraceful executive order on Muslim refugees, visas. From Gov. McAuliffe’s Twitter feed:
- “I’m deeply disappointed by @POTUS actions to close our country to Muslim travelers & people seeking refuge from persecution”
