Judge Blocks Trump Order on Refugees Amid Chaos and Outcry Worldwide

A federal judge in Brooklyn came to the aid of scores of refugees and others who were trapped at airports across the United States on Saturday after an executive order signed by President Trump, which sought to keep many foreigners from entering the country, led to chaotic scenes across the globe.

The judge’s ruling blocked part of the president’s actions, preventing the government from deporting some arrivals who found themselves ensnared by the presidential order. But it stopped short of letting them into the country or issuing a broader ruling on the constitutionality of Mr. Trump’s actions.

The high-stakes legal case played out on Saturday amid global turmoil, as the executive order signed by the president slammed shut the borders of the United States for an Iranian scientist headed to a lab in Massachusetts, a Syrian refugee family headed to a new life in Ohio and countless others across the world.

The president’s order, enacted with the stroke of a pen at 4:42 p.m. Friday, suspended entry of all refugees to the United States for 120 days, barred Syrian refugees indefinitely, and blocked entry into the United States for 90 days for citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

The Department of Homeland Security said that the order also barred green card holders from those countries from re-entering the United States. In a briefing for reporters, White House officials said that green card holders from the seven affected countries who are outside the United States would need a case-by-case waiver to return.

    Quoting  :

Trump was born with a "silver spoon" in his mouth.
He only likes young, attractive, skinny, beauties. He has two wives are immigrants.
If women are not pretty, he will "send them back".

Iraqi man, Hameed Khalid Darweesh, a former U.S. Army translator, shrugs off 18-hour detainment at JFK Airport after release. Hameed Khalid Darweesh held no grudge against President Trump for ruining his first day in America.

The heroic Iraqi man, who risked his life as a U.S. Army translator in his homeland, found himself detained at JFK Airport for 18 hours under Trump’s new refugee ban.

Once released around 12:30 p.m. Saturday, an emotional Darweesh shrugged off the inconvenience and lit up a cigarette.

“America is the land of freedom, the land of the life,” he said to cheers at the Queens airport. “This is why I came here. Really, I am very thankful.
