The unfortunate incident took place on Friday one day after Yorke worked as a commentator in United’s 3-0 win over French team
Saint-Etienne in the Europa League. On Friday morning Yorke was allegedly stopped on his transit to Miami.
Trump’s executive order has resulted in chaos as approved refugees, valid visa holders, non-US dual citizens and US legal residents were detained, barred from boarding flights or ordered out of the US immediately following the order.
The executive order banned entry from seven majority-Muslim countries – Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen – for 90 days at the end of January.
The order was suspended when a federal district judge in Seattle issued a temporary restraining order against the order. The injunction was upheld by the ninth circuit court of appeals in a ruling on February 9.
