Judge blocks deportation of detainees over Trump refugee order
The Hill ^ | 1/28/17 | BROOKE SEIPEL

Posted on 01/28/2017 6:22:04 PM PST by randita

The federal court for the Eastern District of New York has issued an emergency stay halting President Trump's executive order banning immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S, The Verge reported Saturday night.

The court ruled on a habeas corpus petition filed by the 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 reportedly been granted entry to the U.S.

Trump's order handed down Friday bars Syrian refugees indefinitely and halts the resettlement of all refugees for four months for the administration to review the vetting process.

Admission will resume only after vetting has been deemed "adequate" by the secretary of State, the secretary of Homeland Security and Director of National Intelligence.

The order also denies entry for 90 days for individuals from seven predominantly Muslims countries: Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Libya and Yemen.

He needs to get that Scalia replacement in place. Then these things will be drawn out but will have a proper finish.

If you have to travel or know someone who does, take note of Tweet below. These protests are likely to mess up air travel. Also read that NYC taxi drivers (majority Muslim) are threatening refusing to transport anyone to JFK.

At least one, by a Texas federal judge. It never got reinstated but Hussein ignored it and just didn’t talk about what he was doing after that and the press didn’t feel like investigating and publishing it.

The blood anybody injured by any of these peoples on the judges hands. And on the ACLU and others who conspired to get this stay. Shame on them.

It’s not overturned. It’s a stay. And it’ll go up the ladder quickly.

President Trump is getting a real education on how bad America has gone into communism. He has a choice. Go along with the corrupt judges and the communists or fight. President Trump better act fast and fill some jails or we are done.

I respectfully disagree. I think this EO has not been ruined at all. Litigation was inevitable and despite liberal handwringing, I do not believe most Trump supporters have any issue with this. The US military had no authority to offer admission to the USA to translators or anyone else. These people accepted employment for money knowing full well that doing so would put them at odds with certain of their countrymen.

Since when does a noncitizen coming from outside the United States have right to habeas corpus in our courts? Trump should trump the judge by rescinding all visas from everyone and simply requiring that each reapply whether on arrival if already in transit or prior to coming. Trumps attorneys probably should of addressed the cases of those in transit. The judge should resign.

“They cannot be returned but those that aint here yet cant come.”

That is my understanding also. The judge’s ruling only lets in people who were in transit. Others are still affected by the ban.
