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.

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.
