US Judge Temporarily Blocks Part of Trump Order on Immigration

President Donald Trump’s executive order limiting immigration to the U.S. from seven Muslim-majority countries led to widespread confusion Saturday as refugees, green-card holders, students and workers were detained at American airports or barred from boarding international flights to the U.S.


By Saturday night, a federal judge in New York had issued a temporary stay of Trump’s order, barring the deportation of people who had been detained after landing at U.S. airports with valid visas.

Reports from federal authorities indicated at least 170 people had been detained since Trump signed his order at the White House on Friday.
