President Donald Trump's order to restrict people from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States sparked outrage but hit a roadblock late on Saturday when a federal judge said stranded travelers could stay in the country.
The emergency court ruling was cheered at Boston's Logan International Airport, one of several major U.S. airports where protesters angry with Trump's order gathered.
The American Civil Liberties Union, which sought the temporary stay, said it would help 100 to 200 people with valid visas or refugee status who found themselves detained in transit or at U.S. airports after Trump signed the order late on Friday.

Applies only to those already in-route or already at the airport, about 100-200 people. Leaves in-place the ban as airliners are not allowing people from those countries listed (By Obama’s original order in 2015-2016).
They’re stranded and need help getting home?
I’ll start a GoFundMe to buy them swim trunks.
Makes sense.
Obama did a six month ban on Iraqis.
Carter banned Iran.
The stay only applied to those with green cards or citizens and who were already in transit. 100-200 people.
Rest of van still in place.
Fake news from a number of MSM sources had itnwrong.
Our enemies know EXACTLY how our courts and our ROE works. They study it, and implement it.
fyi
Why would a federal judge have power over the POTUS? And where was this judge when Obama strangled us with ACA? I have faith Trump has a strike-back plan... but the left are like cockroaches; they don’t die quickly. Frustrating and plain wrong.
This is part of the rearguard fighting of an enemy defeated on the battlefield and trying to keep as much of its force intact and functioning as possible. The Obammunist Judges will hit at ever one of Trump’s actions with stays and injuncions that must be fought through to higher courts and ultimately to the USSC where they will be overturned after delay and more delay. The Civil Service part of the bureaucracy will do its part in throwing up as many roadblocks as it can. Trump’s will probably be the most litigated Presidency in our history.
Well this certainly has various social justice friends on facebook wound up.
...Obama did a six month ban on Iraqis.
Carter banned Iran...
As always, the rules are different for Democrats. It’s disgusting.
Exactly how does the stinking judge in Brooklyn have a say over immigration policy set by the president? He should ignore it and go forward.
not quite. The Judge stopped them from being sent back.
In theory, they can be kept in detention at the airport.
judge said stranded travelers could stay in the country.
“Applies only to those already in-route”
Yep. There are fake news stories out there saying that the entire executive order was struck down.
This court decision only affects a small number of people.
See # 14....but says nothing about how long or where.
Yep I think so, and they’ll be hanging themselves in the process because the people aren’t going to like it at all. And Trump’s not some weenie he’s not going to sit back and take it. George Bush isnt in office anymore.
Just like how every illegal alien stays in America. Years ago, I was in an apt bldg in Hollywood and one family did NOT work whatsoever.
They were section 8, and barely spoke English while their kids went to school. They know the system, in and out..
The ban is still in place. The court decision only applies to travelers who were already in transit when the executive order was implemented.
It’s OK when progressives ban Muslims from entering the country.
