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.

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.
