Washington (CNN)Lawyers for two Iraqis who had been granted visas to enter the US have filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump and the US government after they were detained when they arrived in New York Friday.
The lawsuit could represent the first legal challenge to Trump's controversial executive order, which indefinitely suspends admissions for Syrian refugees and limits the flow of other refugees into the United States by instituting what the President has called "extreme vetting" of immigrants. Trump's order also said Iraqi citizens, as well as people from six other Muslim-majority nations, cannot enter the US for 90 days, and suspends the US Refugee Admissions Program for 120 days until it is reinstated "only for nationals of countries for whom" members of Trump's Cabinet deem can be properly vetted. According to court papers, both men legally were allowed to come into the US but were detained in accordance with Trump's move to ban travel from several Muslim-majority nations. The lawyers for the two men called for a hearing because they maintain the detention of people with valid visas is illegal.

A “real” judge would throw that lawsuit out the window as soon as it hits his/her desk. GONE!
ACLU has a lawsuit going on right now. On the news they are crying that they can’t see their lawyers. What lawyers? And they are not Americans so that doesn’t count for them.

Please open Ellis Island back up and hold all immigrants until they can be vetted. If it was good enough for immigrants in the 1800s it’s good enough for Muslims.
My grandparents all went through Ellis Island.
And surprise, surprise, not everyone who arrived there was let into the country.
They sent many people back for various reasons, mostly health related from what I understand.
No foreigner has the RIGHT to demand to be allowed into our country.
Waterboard them and send them back.
