Federal Court in Brooklyn Issues Emergency Stay Stopping Trump Immigration Order

Applause for lawyer who wins the ban on Trump’s immigration order.

President Donald Trump’s executive order blocking immigration from specified Muslim-dominated countries took hold and impacted people almost immediately. The order includes people from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen and bans citizens of these seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S. for at least 90 days. President Trump’s Muslim ban excludes countries linked to his international business empire, i.e. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Turkey, where Trump holds multi-million dollar licensing and development deals. The order prevents entry of any refugees to the U.S. for four months. There was a lack of clarity over what the executive order meant, who was impacted and how quickly it would be enforced. People were concerned about their family members, friends, classmates. The Department of Homeland Security issued a directive at 4:30 p.m. ordering the Customs and Border Protection to enforce the executive order. People began to be turned away from the United States on Friday night including green card and visa holders.

There was an immediate reaction to the ban. People were at airports to support those being held at airports when they came off of an airplane. In addition, lawsuits were being filed to support them and overturn the Trump ban.
