Police in Quebec City, Canada, say one person is in custody following a shooting at a mosque.

Six people were killed, eight were wounded Sunday in the shooting, which Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned. "The people who commit these acts mean to test our resolve, and weaken our values. They aim to divide us, to sow discord and plant hatred. We will not close our minds. We will open our hearts."

U.S. President Donald Trump called Mr. Trudeau Monday to offer his condolences.

President Trump took to Twitter Monday to say reports from Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly indicate "all is going well" in the implementation of his executive order on immigration.

The order temporarily bans entry into the country from Iraq, Iran, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Libya and Yemen.

The White House says only a tiny fraction of those entering the U.S. territory since Friday has been affected.

Spokesman Sean Spicer told reporters Monday that 109 people so far have been stopped from entering the United States out of 325,000 foreign nationals who have entered the country in a single 24-hour period.

"This focus on securing our borders in our homeland is obviously major part of what the president campaigned on, and now [he's doing exactly what the America to] he's doing exactly what he told the American people he would do. The president will always put the safety and prosperity of our country first and foremost."

Congressional Democrats gathered outside the U.S. Supreme Court building in Washington to express their opposition to the immigration order.

Senate Republicans blocked an effort by Democrats to overturn it.
