The court specifically ruled on Darweesh and Alshawi’s petition; the ACLU will have to include all other similarly-affected immigrants as part of a class action to have it apply more broadly. But the point of a stay is to preserve the status quo while a permanent ruling is made — something the judge specifically reminded the lawyers for the goverment in the courtroom. And as the tweet from the National Immigration Law Center’s Jackie Vimo indicates above, there is a likelihood of class certification.
i watched this unfold on twitter. A reporter in the NY/NJ airport, airport told reporters to leave, reporter tweets for they will not leave. Argument begins as to whether or not airports belong to the public.
Nadler tweets, headed to airport, ACLU tweets they file suit, twitter comes alive with the ignorant bigoted leftists and democrats.
Within a half hour protesters arrive, tweets go out for everyone to go to any airport near them to protest, news media tweets begging for anyone stopped to contact them, lawyers tweet offering to assist pro bono to anyone.
These people disgust me. We won but they still wield a bigger crowd and louder voice. I hope Trump doesn’t give one inch!
