A federal judge in Brooklyn, N.Y., has temporarily blocked part of President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration by ordering that refugees, visa holders and others impacted by the Jan. 27 executive order not be deported. In her order, Judge Ann Donnelly cited “substantial and irreparable injury to refugees, visa-holders, and other individuals” from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen, as well as a strong likelihood that deporting these individuals would violate “their rights to Due Process and Equal Protection guaranteed by the United States Constitution.” This stay will last until a court hearing is held on the merits of this case brought by the ACLU and other legal organizations. It applies to “all people stranded in U.S. airports,” according to a statement by the ACLU.
