The order is now
expected to be issued "sometime next week," the official said.
President Donald Trump said last week he expected to release the
new order this week.
Trump said the new directive will address legal concerns raised
in Washington state, San Francisco and elsewhere about the
original order, which was issued on Jan. 27.
The order, which was quickly implemented, caused chaos at
airports around the world as visa holders heading to the United
States were pulled off planes or turned around upon arrival at
U.S. airports.
Americans were deeply divided over the order, which was
condemned by prominent U.S. companies and allies before being
temporarily blocked by federal courts.
Trump criticized the court's action in a series of tweets,
including one that read: "The opinion of this so-called judge,
which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country,
is ridiculous and will be overturned!"
