The federal court for the Eastern District of New York issued an emergency stay halting President Donald Trump’s executive order banning entry to the US from seven majority-Muslim countries tonight, following widespread protests at airports around the country.
The court ruled on a habeas corpus petition filed by the ACLU on behalf of Hameed Khalid Darweesh and Sameer Abdulkhaleq Alshawi, who were denied entry to the US upon landing at JFK airport in New York City and detained indefinitely by Customs and Border Patrol. Darweesh spent a decade working for the United States military in Iraq as an interpreter and engineer and had been granted an entry visa after background checks; Alshawi had been granted a visa in order to join his wife and son who are already permanent residents of the US after their similar service with the US military.

The Swamp strikes back!
Maybe they're legit, maybe not . . .
Should be overturned posthaste.
He has to write a new EO or appeal this decision. I hope he had a team on standby. He should call his sister and get some advice...lolol
ping
This is Obama’s XO! All Trump did was copy verbatim what Obama himself did in 2013!
Court is overstepping. Who gets in, (or not), is the president’s perview.
Does any Federal judge have emergency stay powers over EOs? If so, how come it was never exercised against an Obama EO?
The Verge = Vox Media?
The House should immediately move to impeach Judge Donnelly.
Trump is trying to keep us all safe by denying entry of these slimy characters to our country, and these libtard morons are busy trying to drill holes in the bottom of the boat.
If I read this right, the Judge is halting the entire ban. Need that 9th SC justice post haste.
What is particularly galling is this gives the protestors fuel to continue their insurrection.
I’m guessing the “enforcers” are being over diligent to provoke an incident. This is a little bit more complicated and not sure Trump’s EO is applicable.
Have to say, it’s certainly a thrill a minute around here these days. F’em!
So wait, who is president? lolol
Major Nidal Hasan was a Muslim serving in the military as he shot 13 U.S. soldiers dead.
Where were the courts when Obama enacted travel pans. The ban is within the powers of the President. The judge is a tool and needs to be impeached.
This sucks
The court’s stay is temporary and only affects people currently detained and those in transit.
