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.

And the Neuremburg Trials were full of people "just following orders".

Way to Godwin the thread. Besides denial of entry is a long way from gas-chambers and concentrations camps.

Unless the denial of entry sends people back to the gas-chambers and concentration camps, as the United States did to Jews fleeing the Nazis. Barrel bombs and chemical weapons are also not a long way from it.

Unintentional Godwin, but can you think of a better precedent showing how "following orders" does not make you exempt from the law?
Besides, the tiny-handed one is Godwinning himself, calling for mandatory registration of a particular religious group, travel bans, and mass deportations. If he wants to avoid comparisons to the man with the silly moustache, perhaps he should stop acting like him.
