The United State (US) Government has suspended President Donald Trump’s ban on travelers from seven Muslim countries, following a court judgment that blocked its enforcement.

Meanwhile, several thousands of people had stormed the U.S. embassy in London, United Kingdon (UK) with banners bearing different inscriptions to express their displeasure over the action of the U.S President.

The government in a statement on Saturday by the Department of Homeland Security, said it would desist from flagging travelers from the countries under the Trump administration’s travel ban.

A spokesperson for Homeland Security explained that the decision to stop the ban eight days after the president signed the order was made in order to comply with a Friday ruling by a federal judge, adding that the department would resume with its standard procedures in its inspection of travelers.

“The Department of Justice informed us of the Washington state court ruling barring the U.S. government from enforcing certain provisions of Executive Order 13769, including those related to visas and travel.

“We have reversed the provisional revocation of visas under Executive Order 13769. Those individuals with visas that were not physically cancelled may now travel if the visa is otherwise valid,” the statement said.

Trump while reacting to the judgment through his twitter handle, said:”the opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned.

“When a country is no longer able to say who can, and who cannot , come in & out, especially for reasons of safety and.security – big trouble,” he added.

It would be recalled that on January 27, Trump issued an executive order that banned citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from entering the US.

The order was met with widespread protests and confusion, with multiple lawsuits already filed and many more expected in the coming days.
