White House Tries to Course Correct After Messy Travel Restriction Rollout

Washington (CNN) - For those in the White House yearning for a more controlled structure than existed in Donald Trump's presidential campaign, the messy rollout of the executive order restricting travel into the US may have been a gift.

White House sources tell CNN the President himself was unhappy with the way it was executed -- particularly the backlash caused by poor communication to key agencies and members of Congress.

According to sources familiar with internal White House conversations, Chief of Staff Reince Priebus will now take more control of the systems dealing with basic functions, like executive orders.

The way one source described it: Priebus already technically had the authority, but clearly the staff needed a reminder "not to color outside their lines."

The same source said the executive order on travel restrictions, written largely by Trump policy adviser Stephen Miller, was moved too quickly without "reading in" people who could have helped execute it more cleanly.

The source said it wasn't nefarious, but rather "irrational exuberance" and a desire to be "too ambitious" too fast.

Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner, two other senior advisers, still have considerable power and influence with Trump. Administration officials say no role has been diminished or expanded but rather existing roles clarified. It is unclear how that will fit in with Priebus exerting more control over White House operations. Additionally, White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway is expected to take more control of the communications strategy.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer took on responsibilities of communications director after Jason Miller, who was named to the post, withdrew over the holidays.
Administration officials say they do not blame Spicer for the sloppy rollout. Instead, they say it is a reminder of the need for an additional staffer to focus on communications strategy, which most modern White Houses have had in addition to the White House press secretary.

For Trump in particular, who incessantly watches the news and monitors how he and his White House are being perceived, getting someone in that role is essential.

It is unclear if Conway will get the formal title of communications director in addition to that of counselor to the president, or simply take on the responsibility.

I never thought I'd be cheering for a republican, but I hope preibus can get trump to realize how damaging undoing DACA will be. It'll be the Muslim ban on steroids. Even some trump supporters are sympathetic only to us.

I highly doubt that. This EO is a disaster, targeting people who are legally here, LPRs, H1Bs etc. They might feel bad for us but we are illegal after all. If they are willing to do that to LPRs I doubt they'll care much about us.

Think about it H1Bs probably contribute more on taxes than dreamers do, just by the nature of their job. Not everyone here is upper middle class, whereas I'd say a lot of H1Bs are upper middle class, at least here in the bay area tech scene. Our best shot is if they are willing to use us as bargaining chips, and that's not gonna be pretty for whoever is in the receiving end. You might get something but what will be the cost.

To the general public immigrants are immigrants. Whether legal or otherwise. Dreamers have the most sympathy because we were brought against our wills as children. We have garnered a lot of support from top universities and companies. Of course we will be used as a bargaining chip.

Your use of semantics and categories is atrocious. Please stop internalizing that illegal BS. No human is illegal.

I saw an article about an hour ago, that said credible administration sources are saying in 4 weeks Trump will likely end DACA and only renewals will be accepted. I can't have the shit now!! damn

so we (750k daca recipients) can keep renewing as long we're in the program? eh thats fine. If eligible applicants didnt know about it, thats their fault for living under a rock. they had about nearly 5 years to decide to apply or not. so if they want to apply under a trump administration, they are shit out of luck. if they didnt apply within those 5 years they probably didnt qualify or were scared to... so in a way it weeds out the bad hombres.

I hope this isn't true though. I feel bad for the kids just turning 16 and getting ready to apply. If this is true though I hope a more permanent relief will be offered for us and them through congress.
