A Croatian woman trying to enter United States of America with tourist visa was reportedly detained at Los Angeles International Airport, despite that her country is not among the seven listed in President Donald Trump's executive order.


The woman flew from Paris, France, to Los Angeles, California, but was blocked from entering the country and coerced into surrendering her tourist visa, according to sources cited by TMZ.

She will be flown back to France as it remains unclear why she was targeted by the policy, which restricts travel from seven predominantly Muslim countries.

It remains unclear why the executive ban had any bearing on the woman's ability to enter the country on a tourist visa, given that she is a Croatian citizen.

But she was forced to sign documents surrendering her tourist visa and will now be flown back to Paris, TMZ reported.

Trump signed an executive order on Friday barring any non-US citizen traveling from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia or Yemen from entering the United States for 90 days.
