US District Court Judge Ann Donnelly has issued an emergency stay blocking the Trump Administration from expelling anyone from the United States on the basis of the new executive order banning refugees and severely restricting visas to people from several Muslim countries.
The ruling came as the result of an ACLU petition on behalf of a pair of Iraqis who had paperwork which would normally have entitled them to enter the United States, but who landed at Kennedy Airport in New York after Trump’s executive order was signed and were immediately detained because of that.
Donnelly insisted there was “imminent danger” of causing substantial injury by removing such people from US soil, and no likely harm in blocking the implementation of this aspect of the order. The ruling ultimately means people already approved to come to the US as refugees can still come, irrespective of the ban.
The ruling does not appear to restrict the Trump Administration from implementing the order beyond the people already in the system, and assuming they simply stop issuing approvals for people to come to the US, the ruling will eventually stop mattering.
What a hoot to watch that happening last night! He’s being made a complete fool over all this stupid kneejerk exec orders. And it does appear that there are no grownups around him who can tie the cannon down.
Same stock photo too Jason. Good choice!
luv from Canada.
The mainstream media and anti-Trump crowd are deliberately playing up the fact that a few dozen people have been stranded at airports. Boo-hoo. One would think they were being tossed into Gestapo prisons.
That is what is driving this.
The mainstream media hates everything about Trump including his neckties (but not his pro-Israel policies).
Here’s something that’s going to please the Trumpers:
Border cops at some locations are defying the Federal judge’s order. Others are going to going off the deep end at seeing the chaos the US is descending into over Trump’s crazyas-ed executive orders.
luv from Canada.
Perhaps those who don’t like Trump’s executive order on immigration should encourage the US to go back to the old policies that let in the 9/11 hijackers and the other terrorists who murdered Americans in San Bernandino and Orlando.
Is that what you want?
And then there’s the fellow in New Jersey who set off bombs in that state and NY City.
You want to let in more people like him?
Most of the people demonstrating against Trump’s executive order at airports are just anti-Trump people. They don’t give a hoot about Muslims or immigration policy.
Trump’s order obviously has some problems, but it is based on the valid idea that America is going to be careful about who it lets in and from which country. It’s a start. A few dozen people stranded at airports is nothing new nor is it that big a deal.
The hysteria surrounding it is largely based on an anti-Trump agenda by the mainstream media.
“It’s a start.”
Yes, it is.
So was Kristallnacht.
