The White House is defending its implementation of President Donald Trump's executive action targeting immigration from seven predominantly Muslim countries and says only two dozen travellers remain detained.
"It wasn't chaos," Chief of Staff Reince Priebus said on NBC's Meet the Press program on Sunday, adding that 325,000 travellers entered the United States on Saturday and 109 of them were detained.
"Most of those people were moved out. We've got a couple dozen more that remain and I would suspect that as long as they're not awful people that they will move through before another half a day today," he said.
