countries except for syria where the refugee program will be suspended indefinitely. the inconvenience for the ban is small compared with the need to protect every american. >> i'm sorry that some folks may have had to wait a while but the president would much rather know that he's not placing a call to someone who was killed because someone was let into this country to commit a terrorist act. >> the white house press secretary acknowledged there was not a specific security threat that led to the president's executive order. >> more local colleges are warning students and staff about how

they tell me it is effecting some of their students. both in terms of where they can travel and get back in and then also in terms of anxiety just in the last hour. we spoke with the chief operating officer of the international house a few blocks from here. they host internationals students from around the globe. they are opposing this order and they're trying to offer support to students. at international house in university city there's a poster offering residents a chance to talk about it, how they feel about the president's executive order. some are directly effected coming from one of the seven countries listed. >> the executive order has created a climate of fear and uncertainty among the thousands of international students that are in america to pursue their academic dreams. >> reporter: the university warnings to effected students aren't about academics but travel. the bottom line to the message, don't leave the country right now because it's unclear when you'll be able to come back. it's as a result of the president's executive order effecting citizens of seven countries. at temple university, anxiety. >> our biggest function i think is to help the students distinguish

hadn't been stoleth. >> my main reason to enhance our obamacare, stand with our second amendment and stand with police officers. >> reporter: some at this table quite frankly why they didn't support him and others will tell them why it's too earlier. >> trump ran on a certain platform and he was elected on that platform and i think within ten days he's already showing that he meant business. >>

shaking things up. we're -- we can be republican again. >> reporter: they're not surprised by the actions of president trump after all this is what he campaigned on and this is what he promised to do.

yemen. mark murray joins us live from washington, d.c. after a weekend of demonstrations across the country. >> thanks for being here. this action s has caused an eruption of lawsuits and new legislative action. what do you expect the political fallout might be? >> it's hard to tell but right now just diagnosing it 48 hours, 72 hours afterwards and i think the trump administration should be a little bit concerned. maybe the biggest reason they're have been republican deflections. dozen republican lawmakers either from the house or united states senate have said they disagree with this travel ban or they have some serious reservations about it. there are some supporters and say this was needed but whenever you see a fisure within your own party you have to be concerned. the biggest roadblock ahead for donald trump and his administration are the courts and already we saw one stay and it was -- it wasn't a broad stay but certainly more courts that get involved and more lawsuits would end up having some cause some troubles for the policy that this administration formulates. >> so what could we expect to come out of the rally that's planned in washington later on today? >> what is been amazing so far in being someone who covers politics is that the rallies in washington we're in day 11 of the trump administration and we've had two weekends worth of rallies and then morallies ahead as you ended up mentioning in this washington, d.c. metro areas including philadelphia have all been protesting centrals. it is obviously a hallmark of our politics that people protest whether you're democratic, republican, independent, someone in the middle but so far the energy that you've actually seen from forces who are very upset about some of these early moves from the trump administration coming this early are very extraordinary in my eyes. >> big move coming tomorrow. president has promised to reveal his nominee for u.s. supreme court. what do you we expect there? >> my pete williams says two finalists. one is neil gorsuch from the denver area, conservative but doesn't have any big marks that democrats would necessarily be able to go after at least at this stage right now and the other person is from thomas hardman appealat judge from the pittsburgh area and again doesn't seem to necessarily set up a humongous political clash, almost sometimes the smallest of things become very heated and very polarized early on. we're going to get that tomorrow but those are the two finalists. >> mark murray live for us in washington. thanks for the incites. >> thank you. >> and for more on the debate and discussions surrounding president trump's executive order join nbc10 nightly news with lester holt on 6:30. >> now to a snowy scene at the jersey shore today. nbc10
