hehehehe....A federal judge in New York has issued an emergency stay
temporarily stopping the removal of individuals detained at the
airport after President Trump's order banned immigrants from seven
Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S.
According to CNN, the move marks the first successful legal challenge
against the Trump administration and affects those who have arrived in
the U.S. already or were in transit with valid visas.
The court ruled on a habeas corpus petition filed by the American Civil
Liberties Union (ACLU) on behalf of two Iraqi men who were detained at
John F. Kennedy International Airport on Friday after Trump's ban.
Since then both men, Hameed Khalid Darweesh and Sameer Abdulkhaleq
Alshaw, have been granted entry into the U.S.
Cecillia Wang, deputy legal director at the ACLU, tweeted:
The ruling deals with a part of Trump's order which bars Syrian refugees
indefinitely and halts the resettlement of all refugees for four months
as the administration reviews the vetting process.
