1. It's not a draft, it's an issued order.
2. People did start protesting immediately.

Well, the initial 90-day ban in the order is. The order itself is much broader.

90 days.
30 days is the timeline for the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security to decide on information that countries (not limited to those covered by the 90-day ban) must provide in the future in order for immigration to be allowed from their country.
> 3) After that point all countries on that list need to provide additional screening info in order for visas to be accepted.
No, all countries period must provide the additional information once it is determined what that information is, within 60 days of the rules being issued. A list of countries (again, not limited to those in the 90-day ban) will be maintained, and entry from those countries will be banned; the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security are to recommend countries based on non-compliance, but the order neither indicates that non-compliance will consistently result in inclusion on the banned list, or that the list will be restricted to non-compliant countries.
