The American Civil Liberties Union announced Saturday evening that a federal court in New York had issued an emergency stay on President Trump’s executive order banning immigration from seven predominantly Muslim countries. The court’s decision, which will affect people who have been detained in airports, came after the ACLU and other activist groups filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of two Iraqis who were held at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York as a result of the order.
“I hope Trump enjoys losing. He’s going to lose so much we’re going to get sick and tired of his losing,” ACLU national political director Faiz Shakir told Yahoo News shortly after the decision was announced.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the court ruling

ined or turned around at airports.
The class action lawsuit sought an immediate injunction barring the Trump administration from blocking immigrants based on the executive order. It argued that the order violates a 1965 law that banned discrimination in immigration based on national origin. According to a copy of the court decision from Judge Ann Donnelly, it will stop officials from removing individuals with approved refugee applications, holders of valid visas and people from the affected countries who have been authorized to enter — pending completion of a hearing on the matter in court. Donnelly also wrote that the lawsuit would have a “strong likelihood of success.”

“There is imminent danger that, absent the stay of removal, there will be substantial and irreparable injury to refugees, visa holders, and other individuals from nations subject to the January 27, 2017 executive order,” Donnelly said.
Shakir said the stay will affect those who are “currently detained in airports” and that the ACLU’s lawyers “will continue litigating the rest of the people impacted” by the order.
Trump’s order has led to large protests at airports around the country. Critics charge that it amounts to a “Muslim ban,” while Trump and his team have maintained that the order is not designed to target any specific religion and is merely aimed at terror-prone nations.
Yahoo News asked White House press secretary Sean Spicer about the order during his briefing on Wednesday. He framed it as a “necessary step” for dealing with people from countries that have “a propensity to do us harm.” During his presidential bid, Trump called for a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims” entering the U.S. That proposal subsequently evolved into a vague promise of “extreme vetting.”
Trump touted the executive order while speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Saturday. He said the scenes in the airports were evidence of its success.
“It’s not a Muslim ban, but we were totally prepared. It’s working out very nicely. You see it at the airports, you see it all over,” Trump said, according to a White House press pool report.

Awwn FTC...dedicated to God almighty

Chai !!! the guy above me have something to say

I hope ACLU national political director Faiz Shakir also regards it a violation of right where a Christian is banned from entering a Country with his Bible!

By the way, why do they feel offended from being barred from entering the land of the "infidels"?

i am a JEW and got automatic right to go to the USA(AN INFIDEL COUNTRY), their hypocrisy stinks to the high heavens. You leave your holy land and busy looking for infidels passport...... GOD BE PRAISED FOR DONALD TRUMP

The religion called "Islam" is so weird..

Nice one. That's a sane society and trump can't just think he can do anyhow, there are checks and measures to put him in line. No be naija. And yes, immigrants can be a problem but America got to her enviable position in the world thanks partly to immigrants.

Muslims should be banned simple. They have no peace at all.

And to the CAN, its time to rise up to present challenge or remain irrelevant for ever.
Hellufi DSS cannot continue to harass Apostle John sule man for no just cause.

Its now or never

their business

Nawao.

All these migrant Americans making trouble upandan.

Thank God for the southern Christians, if not NIGERIA would definitely have made made the list of banned countries.

How I wish Nigeria will just ban all Muslims in the North from entering the South

Sometimes you need drastic measures to curb these extremists. Muslims always scream foul when the hammers are falling on them but they can't advice their radicals to do away with any thing/book that encourages jihad and more than 60% of them are terrorists or atleast potentials

More countries will ban you all very soon!

Up Trump!

some group of people hate the west but cant stay away from her. when in trouble they run to her cos their father wud not accept them

Do you know the magnitude of damages people from those countries have caused the US? Ghana didnt do any of such before Nigeria started evicting them in the now infamous "Ghana must go".

Trump have a responsibility to protect his country and his country men from danger in whatever way he deems fit.

By the way, why are they all running to an infidel country? I understand there are genuine people from those countries, unfortunately the actions of others have spoilt things for them. Not everyone in Nigeria is a scammer but the actions of others have given the rest a bad name and there's no way of telling a good Nigerian from a bad one until the damage is done. Same way there is no way of telling a bad Muslim from a good one till the damage is done, so the best thing is to ban them all.

This is Trump's stance...

Muslim's

Until they start blowing things up

Nonsense, how I wish this Muslim will go and blow the headquarter of this ACLU.

sai Trump

Why are Muslims fighting to enter the land of shaytan

Thats bad news for trump

following

. Foolish liepids thinks America is like the lands of beerfraud where foolishness and zooness reign.

The persecution of "Gods faithfuls" has started.


Remember the bible never mentioned Christians, just Gods faithfuls.


You go to their country, destroy it and turn around to Chase them back to the danger you caused that they are running from. Just because you have the power to.


The Arabs are not known to travel much until the late 19th century when the west started poking their nose into the Arabs affairs. They started by claiming their women were being abused and are not given equal rights.
