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.

Well, here in the US those believers in Christ tend to blow up abortion clinics so I'm sure the EU is worried about increased terror attacks. The Christians also support inequality for homosexual people so I'm sure Europe is wary of having such narrow minded preachers of hate affecting their youth. American Christians also tend to be loud, disagreeable, and judgmental so for the public peace they will be banned. There are also a lot of Muslims coming to Europe recently and the EU probably my wants to keep them safe from the likely violence/murder by American Christians who smuggled their favorite guns over to help "deal with the Muslim problem." Hell, American Christians are the leading cause of most of the problems in the middle east. Europe just doesn't want to be the battleground for the next crusades!

Except that's not a systemic problem.
33% of UK college educated Muslim students believe in the implementation of a worldwide Caliphate.
Only 53% categorically reject murder in the name of Islam.
40% support the implementation of Sharia in the UK.
6% believe that apostates should be punished according to Sharia. This means killed.
Only 29% believe Islam is fully compatible with western democracy.
Only 18% believe it's fully compatible with the separation between church and state.
That's well-educated educated young people who are mostly native born UK citizens, not some country bumpkin from Arkansas.
