Kemal Kilicdaroglu, leader of Turkey's secular Republican People's Party (CHP), has become the first leading Turkish politician to openly criticise Donald Trump's ban on refugees and Muslim migrants.
Kilicdaroglu, who belongs Turkey's minority Alevi Muslim community, said in a statement released on Twitter "the CHP is against warring policies that create refugees and stands by the millions defending the rights of migrants and refugees."
An official government petition to prevent an official UK state visit from Donald Trump has been signed over 200,000 times. More than 100,000 signatures is enough to require the issue is debated in the UK parliament:
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has condemned Trump's executive order against Muslims as it "harms vulnerable refugee and migrant families".
Regarding the Executive Order's halt and reduction of admissions, Bishop Joe S. Vásquez of Austin, Texas, chairman of the Committee on Migration, stated:
"We strongly disagree with the Executive Order's halting refugee admissions. We believe that now more than ever, welcoming newcomers and refugees is an act of love and hope. We will continue to engage the new administration, as we have all administrations for the duration of the current refugee program, now almost forty years. We will work vigorously to ensure that refugees are humanely welcomed in collaboration with Catholic Charities without sacrificing our security or our core values as Americans, and to ensure that families may be reunified with their loved ones."

The US Department of Homeland Security said Sunday it would continue to enforce President Donald Trump's sweeping executive order restricting immigration, but would also comply with court orders which have partially blocked the temporary ban.
"The president's executive orders remain in place - prohibited travel will remain prohibited, and the US government retains its right to revoke visas at any time if required for national security or public safety," the agency said in a statement.
"The president's executive order affects a minor portion of international travelers, and is a first step towards reestablishing control over America's borders and national security."
But the DHS also said it would "comply with judicial orders" - presumably including a federal judge's ruling that ordered authorities not to deport refugees and other travelers detained at US borders.
Iran's foreign ministry summoned the Swiss ambassador to Tehran on Sunday to protest against U.S. President Donald Trump's travel ban against people from Iran and six other Muslim nations, state news agency IRNA reported.
A note handed to the envoy, who represents U.S. interests in Iran because Washington and Tehran have no diplomatic ties, said Trump's executive order "was based on false and discriminatory pretexts and (went) against human rights conventions", IRNA said.
Mo Farah, double gold-medal winning Olympic distance runner, has written on Facebook of his dismay at being banned from the US by Trump's executive order.
Farah, who was born in Somalia and is now a British citizen, described the thought of being prevented from entering the country as 'deeply troubling':
"On 1st January this year, Her Majesty The Queen made me a Knight of the Realm. On 27th January, President Donald Trump seems to have made me an alien.
"I am a British citizen who has lived in America for the past six years - working hard, contributing to society, paying my taxes and bringing up our four children in the place they now call home. Now, me and many others like me are being told that we may not be welcome. It’s deeply troubling that I will have to tell my children that Daddy might not be able to come home - to explain why the President has introduced a policy that comes from a place of ignorance and prejudice.
"I was welcomed into Britain from Somalia at eight years old and given the chance to succeed and realise my dreams. I have been proud to represent my country, win medals for the British people and receive the greatest honour of a knighthood. My story is an example of what can happen when you follow polices of compassion and understanding, not hate and isolation."
The Mexican government has criticised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after he tweeted in praise of Donald Trump's plans to build a wall along the border with Mexico:
"The foreign ministry expressed to the government of Israel, via its ambassador in Mexico, its profound astonishment, rejection and disappointment over Prime Minister Netanyahu's message," the foreign ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
"Mexico is a friend of Israel and should be treated as such by its Prime Minister."
Thousands of pounds have been raised to help an Iranian-born Scottish veterinarian who was left stranded in Costa Rica following Trump's executive order.
Hamaseh Tayari, who grew up in Italy and works at the University of Glasgow and holds an Iranian passport, was on holiday with her boyfriend in the Costa Rica when the travel ban was issued. Her return flight was set to transit through New York and then on to Glasgow.
“In my passport I have a regular transit visa for the USA, but they told me the visa is not any more valid," she told the BBC. Booking another flight cost her £2,600, leaving her with concerns about being able to pay for "rent, bills and food."
After hearing about her situation, a woman, Kathleen Caskie, set up an account on gofundme.com calling for donations.
“When the story came out that this woman in Scotland was affected, I wanted to show that people shouldn’t be treated in this way,” she told the i newspaper.
“We won’t stand for Trump treating people like that and we will send a message that he won’t stop people who live in our country from getting back here. She must have felt so lonely. At least now she’s got a sense that people care for her, that people are standing in solidarity with her.
“It’s abhorrent and unacceptable.”
Currently, more then £5,000 has been raised. All money that goes over the amount needed by Tayari will go to the Scottish Refugee Council.

Influential Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr has called for US nationals to leave Iraq after Trump's order banning Iraqi Muslims from the US.
"It would be arrogance for you to enter freely Iraq and other countries while barring to them the entrance to your country ... and therefore you should get your nationals out,'' Sadr said on his website.
The Iraqi government has so far declined to comment on the executive order signed by Trump on Friday, which suspends the entry of travelers from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for at least 90 days.

UK labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn said that US President Donald Trump should be prevented from making a planned state visit to the UK as long as his "Muslim ban" policy remains,
Speaking to Peston on Sunday, Corbyn said it was "odd" that Trump had been invited so quickly to come to the UK considering his comments and actions.
"I suspect this visit is something that might find its way into the long grass," he said.
"I think we need to find out exactly what his intentions are an how much the US parliamentary system is actually going to protect fundamental rights and freedoms and laws.
"Is it really right to endorse somebody who has used this awful misogynist language throughout the election campaign, awful attacks on Muslims and then this absurd idea of building a wall with their nearest neighbour?"
