On Monday, President Trump signed a new executive order placing a 90-day ban on people from six mainly Muslim nations.
The order was presented as a means to strengthen US national security against terror threats.
Sudan and Somalia who are among countries that are affected by the ban, say the move which includes a 120-day ban on all refugees, takes effect on 16 March is unjustified.
Commenting on the move, U.S Attorney-General, Jeff Sessions, say there are more than 300 refugees under investigation for potential terror offences, but no further details were given.
According to him, three of the countries on the list are state sponsors of terrorism and the other three have lost control of territory to militants.
