Thanks, where is the official source?
https://twitter.com/SamAugustDean/status/1291576813685108736 - There's been no official clarification, but an on-the-record confirmation from the WH via a LA Times reporter.
What they say to the press and what the EO order say are two different things.
an EO is up to the executive branch to enforce. so unless you think they are lying, the wording doesn’t really matter but rather how they enforce it. (unlike a law)
