The federal court for the Eastern District of New York issued an emergency stay halting President Donald Trumps 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.

So what is to prevent visa holders in the banned countries from boarding a flight tomorrow? Once here, the ruling applies to them too. Not a lawyer, but I read nothing in the stay limiting it to travelers already here.

For those in transit with valid green cards. That’s all.
Unreal. HE HAS THE POWAH!
Several/many soldiers were killed in Afghanistan by Muslims that were doing joint operations with them.
this decision only effect green card holders. It is an absolute fact that the PRESIDENT SETS IMMIGRATION POLICY!!! I read it in the Arizona case. SHUT THEM DOWN!!We will not allow our people to be killed by Sharia!! Let that Judge enforce her ruling!!!! GO TRUMP!!~
Was the judge female or male... or were there two separate rulings.
Going forward, the airlines are not allowed by law to let ineligible aliens board flights to the USA. But I just saw on Twitter some UK based airline employees (they claim) saying they are going to defy the US govt and fly them anyway. Hope that we can put a stop to that fast, bc otherwise there will be a growing mass of ppl arriving and kept in custody tomorrow etc. Hope that does not happen! No one should be boarding flights to USA if they are subject to the EO.
Just filled to MSNBC ... where there we broadcasting the ACLU lawyer talking.
He seems to think that this is just temporary .... and that the judge can overturn the whole e.o. in the upcoming days ...
Is that possible or is he just delusional
It’s a misleading title.
The moratorium is not halted.
Of course they did.
Laws only apply to little white people.
Not Latinos with big, rich liberal friends. :)
It won’t stop honest Americans from dropping the scum that is here and on its way here. ESADislam and adherents.
Note the repeated pattern of the thin sharp lips, little or no makeup etc.
TRUMP WILL CRUSH THESE BASTARDS!! We are going to stop jihad here! STOP THE VISAS!!!!!!!!This is a narrow decision by a dumb assed newbie obama appointee. We get to appoint 100 of these judges on majority vote!!
Twitter? The left is absolutely hysterical there tonight. Even moreso than election night. One of the WaPo stooges banned me for tweeting the San Berdoo terrorist at the airport pic. LOL.
...the guy who shot up Fort Hood was in the military for several years, and at the time he started shooting....
As I recall, the murdering Manor was displaying troubling, disturbing signs that everyone ignored. Totally. Yes, vetting is vetting.
Absolutely NOT nation wide. This applies to GREEN CARDER on in New York. TRUMP WILL CRUSH THIS!!
Democrats still mad at the election outcome trying to enable muslim terrorists access to America. Sadly the terrorists don’t just kill their enablers.
Yep, even the title is a misleading deceptive lie.
