The Intercept reports
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.

He asked a specific question without any partisan crap
Not really, he asked a stupid question that revealed a extensive ignorance of how the US legal system works, which is not surprising for a Trump Voter, so really it was not non-partisan, it was just stupid. Oh, but wait! While it is true that there are no "stupid questions", there are stupid people who ask things they could easily find out for themselves, stupid, lazy people. I believe we have found at least two!

Most people have extensive ignorance about most things, how email works, what makes their car go, what doctors know, how science operates, and on and on. I would even go so far as to say that most lawyers have extensive ignorance about how the US legal system works, except in their own particular, narrow specialty. It can even vary quite a bit from state to state, which is why you frequently have to take the bar exam in the state where you mean to practice law, even though you might have previously passed the bar somewhere else.
So if you stop and think about it ignorance is the natural lot of modern man, amid bodies of knowledge too large to be fully absorbed by anyone given our common limitations of time, capacity, and appetite. Willful ignorance, and asserting certitude based on impressions rather than actual facts and knowledge, are a different matter. Discourage the latter, but practice understanding for the former.

Maybe so. But how disconnected from reality do you have to be to believe that The Intercept would straight up lie about such a simple, mechanical issue of whether a federal injunction is "nationwide?" The only reason he asked the question is because he really, really wanted to disbelieve. Asking the question was the way he released the pressure of the cognitive dissonance of thinking muslims totally deserve to be fucked over hard and the fact that courts don't see it that way.
Just yesterday that asshole posted that standard islamofoe canard that "islam is not a religion its a political system" so 1st amendment protections don't apply.

You don't have to be disconnected from reality at all. You only have to be generally ignorant of how courts and jurisdiction work. I am not disconnected from reality, but I too am in the dark about such matters. Why? Because I studiously avoid the entire subject; I loathe lawyers, judges, and courts and politicians, who are themselves mostly lawyers. There are far too many interesting things in the world to learn and understand, without wasting time on people and a general profession that irritate the crap out of me. When it does come time to hang the lot of 'em, I will be jockeying to be the guy that pulls the lever.
So, choose to judge Runaway and everyone else a little more kindly before rushing to judgement. Perhaps he was being coy as you suspect, but his initial question seemed legitimate to me. And, in the end, what did it gain anyone to jump on it as an invitation to a flame war? We are really at a time as a global society when those small decisions, to fight, or to try and get along, will doom or save us.
