The order applies to dual citizens.

The text of the EO itself doesn't *specifically* indicate that it applies to dual citizens, but they are technically "aliens from countries referred to in section 217(a)(12) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1187(a)(12)" -- depending on the definitions of both "alien" and "from" (is someone an "alien from" a banned country if they're citizens in an unbanned country and traveling on valid documents that attest to that?) -- so it *may* apply, though IMO it's ambiguous and would require a legal test to get a hard interpretation.

In any case, as a practical manner, if the person is traveling *from* an unbanned country, *as* a national of an unbanned country, I don't see how it could be enforced on them.

It's already been shown that it doesn't.
