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.

Second link first - looks like a partisan paid advertisement. FFS, MSM makes some claim that Obama is bringing in women and children. But - that's not what your first link says, either. The wives and the children didn't come until the fathers were on their way, as well.
That first link is pretty tough, really. They flew all the way here, only to be turned around. But - wait a second.
"According to the Assalis, their family members do not speak English very well and were told by authorities they could either be detained and have their visas taken away, or they could take the first flight back to Doha.
Frightened and facing a language barrier, the six family members chose the second option. Sarmad Assali told CNN she wished she had been able to speak with them, since she would have told them to stay until she could arrive with her attorney."
So, the Assalis weren't *exactly* "kicked out". They were given a choice between detention, or returning to whence they came. They chose to return. Now, if they had just left a hot war zone, why didn't they choose to stay in a relatively safe detention center, until things could be worked out one way or the other?
It's still a rough deal for them, but they chose.
Maybe they aren't actually flying back into the danger you paint?

What a masterful display of motivated reasoning!
First, straight up widely reported facts are actually "partisan paid advertisement."
Because everybody knows reality has a well-known liberal bias. So who needs reality anyway?
Second "eh, fuck'em they were weak, tough shit!"
You are the best, man!
I think I saw you on American Horror Story: Freakshow.
You were the logical contortionist!

Yup, this is the example where Runaway goes from reasonable questions / points and wanders into the crazy zone. I'm all for personal responsibility, but you have to take extenuating circumstances into account. Instead, you double down on "their fault if they made a mistake" instead of "fucking fascists screwing with people's lives for no good reason". And it is no good reason, as many have pointed out the ban doesn't target the right countries and so does nothing to keep us safe. Not to mention that protecting against "terrorism" is statistically the worst allocation of resources possible.
Why would a family opt to take their chances in their home country instead of being "detained"? Gee, because many people detained in the US spend several years in detention along with the very real chances of abuse or even torture. Yeah, why would a responsible parent not send their kids into a foreign system they know nothing about? Come on Runaway, time to work on your "compassion" circuits.

Or forced labor or extermination, as our own dear VLM has advocated. Let's hope that's a bridge too far for Trump's team.
Washington DC delenda est.
