NEW: Senior administration official says President Trump will unveil his revised executive order on immigration tomorrow at the DOJ

From CNN:

While sources caution that the document has not yet been finalized and is still subject to change, the major changes are as follows:

• · The new executive order will make clear that legal permanent residents (otherwise known as green card holders) are excluded from any travel ban.
• · Those with validly issued visas will also be exempt from the ban.
• · The new order is expected to revise or exclude language prioritizing the refugee claims of certain religious minorities.

The administration could potentially argue that the existing challenges to the original executive order are moot, but the challengers tell CNN the legal battles will likely continue even after the new order is signed.

"Exempting lawful permanent residents and current visa holders will not cure the core legal problem -- that the ban was motivated by religious discrimination, as evidenced by the President's repeated statements calling for a Muslim ban," ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt explained. "That discriminatory taint cannot be removed simply by eliminating a few words or clever tinkering by lawyers."

This new one will be tainted by the previous one but if this was the EO that was first put out, it'd have met a lot less resistance.

This. We've moved away from it being completely illogically thought out and disastrously implemented to the legal challenge regarding intent and the president's power over controlling immigration. We'll see what happens.

let's hope they didn't learn their lesson and the first drafts of future prejudiced EOs are just as transparent.

Still feel like with lack of evidence or anything from the intelligence committees presenting why this is needed or necessary it'll get shot down as well
