The Pentagon says it is compiling a list of Iraqi nationals who have aided the U.S. military, in an attempt to exempt them from President Donald Trump's 90-day ban on immigration from seven countries identified by the White House as "sources of terror."
Pentagon spokesman Navy Captain Jeff Davis told reporters Monday that there are a "number of people in Iraq" who have worked alongside U.S. troops, "often doing so at great peril to themselves."
"We are ensuring that those who have demonstrated their commitment tangibly to fight alongside us and support us, that those names are known in whatever process there is going forward," Davis said.
