The unveiling of the second edition of President Donald Trump’s travel ban came not with a bang but a whisper.

The president made no statement himself, not even a tweet. He signed the order in private. Its enactment was delayed 10 days, ensuring no immediate havoc at airports. The details were carefully outlined for reporters in advance, and the text of the order itself was available to the public less than an hour after Trump signed it.
