Over 100,000 visas have been revoked as a result of President Donald Trump's ban on travel from seven Muslim-majority countries. An attorney for the government said this in Washington today. <br/><br/>The number came out during a hearing in a lawsuit filed by attorneys for two Yemeni brothers who arrived at Dulles International Airport on Saturday and were quickly put on a return flight to Ethiopia in response to the president's executive order.'<br/>'<br/>The government attorney could not say how many people with visas were sent back to their home countries from Dulles in response to the travel ban, Washington Post reported.'<br/>'<br/>An executive order signed by Trump over the weekend had halted the US refugee programme for 120 days and indefinitely banned all Syrian refugees. A separate order also suspended all entry from Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia, Libya and Syria on national security grounds.<br/>'''' <br/><br/>
