A Federal judge in New York issued a nationwide temporary injunction [1], halting the implementation of President Donald Trump's executive order on immigration on Saturday night, blocking the deportation of travelers with valid visas detained at airports in the past 24 hours.
Judge Ann Donnelly, a United States District Court Judge in Brooklyn, issued the ruling at an emergency hearing on a lawsuit [2] filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups on Saturday, as Trump's executive order temporarily banning citizens of seven nations with Muslim majorities from entering the U.S. took immediate effect.
The judge ruled that the government must immediately stop deporting travelers from those nations, including refugees who already went through a rigorous vetting process, and provide a complete list of all those detained, immigrants rights lawyer Lee Gelernt told reporters in Brooklyn.

Taking this particular thread seriously is a bad sign of the state of the human race. The hyperbole is exactly what we need to put things in perspective.

Funny. Plenty of European countries will reject your visa because you are not white enough. Which universe are you from? In this universe white people instituted colonialism. In this universe a black husband can have his visa denied while his white wife will get it. In this universe non-schengen European countries will reject your fully detailed tourist visa application for not being white (and that includes Britain, not just eastern Europe).
