Former President Barack Obama criticized President Donald Trump's executive order curbing immigration in a statement on Monday, backing protesters who have taken to the nation's airports to express their displeasure with Trump's action on Friday.

NATO members flexed their military muscle in Russia's backyard Monday, as allied warships headed toward the Black Sea while American tank fire echoed across Polish plains.  

During his inaugural address, President Donald Trump reiterated one of his key campaign themes, pledging to eradicate Islamic terrorism "from the face of the Earth." But President Trump's objective of destroying ISIS and other jihadi groups that sow terror in the region and beyond -- however desirable -- is also fantastically otherworldly.

CNN's Ben Wedeman explains the one thing you need to know on how President Trump's executive order on refugees could impact the war on ISIS.

Last Friday, President Trump signed an executive order titled: "Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States." In the following days, mass hysteria and an onslaught of misleading news reports have falsely depicted the President's actions as an unconstitutional ban on Muslims entering the United States.

The White House spokesman on Monday said career US diplomats who don't back President Donald Trump's anti-immigration executive order should find a new line of work.

From Boston to Baghdad, families are being ripped apart. Some people can't go home to the US, others can't return to their native countries to visit parents and children, and still others are stranded in airports and cities halfway across the world.

Statement from Kevin Lewis, spokesman for former President Obama:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will visit the White House on February 15, White House press secretary Sean Spicer announced Monday.

Quebec City Police have confirmed via Twitter a shooting at a mosque in Quebec. No further details were available.

The seven Muslim-majority countries targeted in President Trump's executive order on immigration were initially identified as "countries of concern" under the Obama administration.

None of those who have conducted lethal jihadist terror attacks in the US since 9/11 emigrated from or were born into a family that emigrated from a country that is under the Trump travel ban, according to Peter Bergen and David Sterman.

Far more jobs are lost to robots and automation -- better technology -- than trade with China, Mexico or any other country.

Dear President Trump, We know what you're doing, we know why you're doing it, and we will not tolerate it or normalize it.

World leaders and prominent figures have blasted US President Donald Trump's temporary ban on citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States as divisive, illegal, insulting and discriminatory.

President Donald Trump's seismic move to ban more than 100 million people from the United States and to deny entry to all refugees reverberated worldwide Saturday, as chaos and confusion rippled through US law enforcement agencies, airports and foreign capitals trying to grasp the US's new policy.

Donald Trump's Executive Order on immigrants and refugees violates our founding principles, threatens our global credibility, and recalls our darkest moments as a nation. Worse, it undermines our national security and puts the lives of US citizens at greater risk.

As part of our campaign to raise awareness about modern slavery, we want you to tell us what freedom means to you.

Amid the chaos and confusion of President Donald Trump's new executive order on immigration and refugees, sources tell CNN that White House policy director Stephen Miller spoke with officials of the State Department, Customs and Border Patrol, Department of Homeland Security and others to tell them that the President is deeply committed to the executive order and the public is firmly behind it -- urging them not to get distracted by what he described as hysterical voices on TV.
