WaPo, U.S. denies visas for Afghanistan’s all-girl robotics team
From that article:
To participate, the girls from the city of Herat in western Afghanistan needed permission to travel to the United States. So, after they convinced their parents to let them go, they made the 500-mile journey to the U.S. Embassy in Kabul to apply for their visas. They did this twice, even though that location was targeted by a deadly truck bomb.

Not as presently requested or enforced it doesn’t — but the whole idea as Trump originally proposed it may nevertheless have a wider impact..
