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.
It looks like this only pertains to the 100-200 refugees/visa holders that were in transit/at the airport when the order went down. This is liberal judicial activism. The order is legally sound.
It should have no effect on anyone else. Obama banned Iraq refugees in 2011 and Carter banned all Iranian nationals and expelled them from US in 1979.
What I read was that this stay only affects 100-200 people who have arrived at U.S. airports. The stay prevents them from being sent back to their country of origin right away. But it doesn’t free them, either. Those people are in limbo for now.
