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.

For what it's worth, I am ignorant of how those things work, too. So for me the question is a legitimate request for knowledge. The polite thing to do, the helpful thing to do, would be to answer it succinctly and forthrightly. And, no, RTFM is not an appropriate answer in this case because TFM is very, very long and arduous reading, and Google will be of no real help. And even if you found a lawyer online to ask, chances are they'd be at odds with the next lawyer in line, at which point they'd devolve into an endless, desultory argument replete with minutiae and arcana, exchanged at a slowly growing volume. At least, that's been my experience with anything that's ever come out of a lawyer's mouth.
So, how about be a mensch and give the guy (and me, and others) a straight answer, if you know it, instead of jumping on another cheap opportunity to slam the guy?
