The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!

Interesting that certain Middle-Eastern countries agree with the ban. They know if certain people are allowed in it's death & destruction!

US revokes visa ban after court rules against Donald Trump's order

WASHINGTON: The Trump administration has been forced to back down from the presidential order selectively restricting entry into United States , setting up a potential confrontation between the executive and the judiciary, and pitting liberal, immigrant-welcoming states against a federal government accused of shutting doors.A Federal District Judge in Washington state in the Pacific Northwest on Friday echoed similar rulings in New York, California, and Massachusetts (all liberal, Democrat-leaning states) while temporarily blocking President Trump’s executive order from being enforced nationwide.The ruling immediately re-opened US doors to travellers from seven Muslim-majority countries who were barred by the Trump executive order.The government complied with the court ruling for now, communicating to airlines that they could board passengers with valid travel documents, even as the President himself railed against it."The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned !" Trump tweeted on Saturday, after administration officials had said they will challenge the ruling. The State Department too announced it was reversing the cancellations of visas for nearly 60,000 travelers from seven majority-Muslim countries who had their visas "provisionally revoked" to comply with Trump's order blocking them from traveling to the United States.An earlier White House statement said the Justice Department would file for an emergency stay of the "outrageous" ruling from the judge at the earliest possible time. "The president’s order is intended to protect the homeland and he has the constitutional authority and responsibility to protect the American people," the statement said.A revised statement issued later omitted the word "outrageous" for fear of provoking the court, but Trump was blunt in calling the ruling "ridiculous."In another tweet, he said "When a country is no longer able to say who can, and who cannot come in & out, especially for reasons of safety & security - big trouble!" He also claimed some middle-east countries supported his order, without naming them.The Washington court ruling came from Judge James Robart , a Bush administration appointee, after the state had challenged the executive order arguing it was separating families, damaging the States’ economies, and undermining "states’ sovereign interest in remaining a welcoming place for immigrants and refugees."States which have won injunction against the Presidential order are all typically better-educated, higher-income, more open immigrants, and have a more diverse population.Some of the rulings emerging from these states have selectively allowed stranded passengers to return to their resident states, but the Washington judge went further than other rulings by ordering a nationwide injunction of the Trump order. He cited the precedent of a federal district court in Texas that had blocked President Barack Obama’s plan to shield some undocumented immigrants from deportation nationwide and allow them to legally work in the United States.The upshot of the rulings is that several students and researchers from the seven red-flagged countries, including accomplished academics who held green card, are now allowed to return to the US till such time the Trump administration gets the ruling overturned. Several have already made it back to U.S and more are expected in the narrow window before the government gets the ruling overturned, as is widely expected.While the ruling has enabled families, couples, and partners to re-unite, in one poignant case, a four-month old Iranian baby en route to US for a critical heart surgery was turned back from Dubai and sent home following the executive order. The baby is now expected to return to US this coming week with hospitals on the east coast and west coast competing to treat the baby and waive the costs.
