From the what-separation-of-powers department:
The Department of Homeland Security has an update on the entry ban:
The Department of Homeland Security will continue to enforce all of President Trump's Executive Orders in a manner that ensures the safety and security of the American people. President Trump's Executive Orders remain in place—prohibited travel will remain prohibited, and the U.S. government retains its right to revoke visas at any time if required for national security or public safety. President Trump's Executive Order affects a minor portion of international travelers, and is a first step towards reestablishing control over America's borders and national security.
The NY Post adds:
The ACLU is getting "multiple reports" that federal customs agents are siding with President Trump — and willfully ignoring a Brooklyn federal judge's demand that travelers from seven Muslim countries not be deported from the nation's airports.

A certain segment of the population has been warning you all about this. But it is just fine to aggregate power in one place as long as you like the excuses, isn't it? That is the sad part of this whole story, and why "the left" can't be taken seriously by normal folk. Whatever thought process is behind this probably has something to do with why every attempt at communism has ended up being run by totalitarian dictators as well.

You are right on the money on this one, however the entire mainstream society in the US has been ignoring the growing powers of the president. It is kind of disingenious to imply this is a leftist mess when it was the republicans who kicked it into high gear with the full blessing of their core demographics.

If by "left" you mean "democrats" then these "normal folks" of yours are making the grave mistake of not taking seriously one of the primary political forces of your country. The Democrats themselves are guilty of the exact same mistake during this presidential election, one would think you will learn from their failure, but apparently you didn't.

Could it be the fact that every attempt at communism has been attempted BY a totalitarian dictator? Radical regime change usually ends up that way, regardless of the political system being implemented.
