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.

The European Union has promptly responded to the new style of government in the USA by president Trump. As of 12:00 noon today, Sunday January 29 2017, no US citizens with a known christian belief may enter any of the European Union countries on suspicion that they may be planning Americanization campaigns. An exception is made for US citizens with native American and Mexican or Latino backgrounds, as well as US citizens with a different skin-color than white. Permanent residents of the EU with US papers, not falling in the exception categories, will be deported at the earliest convenience and on their own expense.
Luckily, the CJEU has a day off on Sundays, so all police and immigration staff may proceed without judicial intervention. It is expected that the courts will be kept in check for at least a couple of months, such that a clean house is to be expected before any potential adverse ruling may be entered in the record.

Why American Christians? They have no recent history of violently attempting to overthrow governments and instill a theocracy, nor the divine mandate to do so. If anything, we should ban US politicians [wikipedia.org] instead.

Well, here in the US those believers in Christ tend to blow up abortion clinics so I'm sure the EU is worried about increased terror attacks. The Christians also support inequality for homosexual people so I'm sure Europe is wary of having such narrow minded preachers of hate affecting their youth. American Christians also tend to be loud, disagreeable, and judgmental so for the public peace they will be banned. There are also a lot of Muslims coming to Europe recently and the EU probably my wants to keep them safe from the likely violence/murder by American Christians who smuggled their favorite guns over to help "deal with the Muslim problem." Hell, American Christians are the leading cause of most of the problems in the middle east. Europe just doesn't want to be the battleground for the next crusades!

Except that's not a systemic problem.
33% of UK college educated Muslim students believe in the implementation of a worldwide Caliphate.
Only 53% categorically reject murder in the name of Islam.
40% support the implementation of Sharia in the UK.
6% believe that apostates should be punished according to Sharia. This means killed.
Only 29% believe Islam is fully compatible with western democracy.
Only 18% believe it's fully compatible with the separation between church and state.
That's well-educated educated young people who are mostly native born UK citizens, not some country bumpkin from Arkansas.

Funny. Plenty of European countries will reject your visa because you are not white enough. Which universe are you from? In this universe white people instituted colonialism. In this universe a black husband can have his visa denied while his white wife will get it. In this universe non-schengen European countries will reject your fully detailed tourist visa application for not being white (and that includes Britain, not just eastern Europe).

I really wish they would be so stupid. The EU wouldn't last a month past the day they did something that obvious.

Besides the point that the EU does not have such authority, the individual countries are currently on their merry way to undermine themselves. The populists in the EU countries are already changing the landscape and, apparently, nobody is able to hold against the obvious fallacy of the populist premise. These are are both sad and exciting times. Lets hope that reason wins before a new war is required to reestablish reason.

Unlike yourself, I never "liked" the idea. Several Sci-Fi stories have explored that whole one-world-government idea. None of them work out well. In the 1940's a group of people were persecuted by a government, but as horrible as that persecution was, the vast majority of that group of people actually SURVIVED. There were other countries to go to, there were escape routes, there were people willing to hide some of them. In a totalitarian world government, there will be no escape routes. So, the next charismatic son of a bitch who takes a serious dislike to some group of people will be able to eradicate them. Extinct. Gone. The last of the Mohicans. Nevermore. And, at the rate things are going in the world today, it's likely to be all white people of European descent who are targeted. Maybe some of the swarthier Mediterranean and Slavik people will be exempted, but no more peach-colored skin, no blue eyes, absolutely no blonde hair.
THAT is the power of a one-world-government. THAT is the power that the UN wishes it could weild. And, THAT is the path that the EU is tentatively exploring today.

I'm not going to argue because that is what it has become. But on the onset the ideas and hopes that myself and other Europeans had were vastly different than to execution. No one would agree to one world government type of nonsense from the onset. We, as in Europeans, just wanted to be closer to our peaceful neighbors. The idea of a landmass the size of Europe living together in harmony is just not that far fetched, I live in the US and the country as a whole gets on quite fine. No sane European would ever want to include the whole world, and not even all of Europe - it would be silly to have Turkey join after all, and Russia has identity too strong to tack onto something else. But the whole thing got hijacked by agendas galore, and turned into the absurdity we now have. So when it turned out to be a tumor, it means it must now be cut out. I foresee smaller unions between countries that are very similar forming out of the remnants, and those countries will definitely not be taking in refugees.
