Governor Roy Cooper issued a statement opposing President Donald Trump's Executive Order temporarily banning visitors from seven nations identified as having terrorism ties:  
 
"The executive order issued by the President will make our homeland and our troops serving overseas less safe. Our vetting process has to be tough and thorough, but we should not impose a religious test to enter the country. It's especially troubling that individuals who risked their lives to protect our troops and served alongside them are now being turned away. We can secure the safety of our country without separating families, hurting our businesses, and turning away good people who need our help."
