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.

The 7 countries under Donnie Tiny Hands' blanket ban are Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Libya, and Somalia.
The Christian sect in Egypt are called Copts.
They are a minority of the population and are persecuted.
That non-Muslim sect and other non-Muslim sects have also taken root in adjoining lands. [msu.edu]
Note the overlap with the list of 7.
In their countries, those Christians are being targeted.

Cheating Donald [googleusercontent.com] (orig) [commondreams.org] claims to be a Christian, but his actions aren't anything like what the Nazarean taught.
It should come as no surprise that he has no empathy for those persecuted Christians.
...or even knowledge of their existence.
Expecting a president who gets his "information" from cable TeeVee to be well-informed and make wise decisions is just silly.
