The Federal Court for the Eastern District of New York has issued an Emergency Stay halting President Trump's Executive Order banning Immigrants from seven Muslim-Majority Countries from entering the U.S.
Judge Ann Donnelly ruled on a Habeas Corpus Petition filed by the ACLU on behalf of two Iraqi men who were detained at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Friday after Trump's ban.
Since then both men, Hameed Khalid Darweesh and Sameer Abdulkhaleq Alshaw, have reportedly been granted entry to the U.S.
Dale Ho, director of the ACLU's Voting Rights Project, tweeted: "Stay is National."
Trump's Order handed down Friday bars Syrian Refugees indefinitely and halts the Resettlement of all Refugees for four months for the Administration to review the Vetting process.
Admission will resume only after Vetting has been deemed "Adequate" by the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and Director of National Intelligence.
The order also denies entry for 90 days for individuals from seven predominantly Muslims Countries: Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Libya, and Yemen.
The seven Nations targeted for new Visitation Restrictions by President Trump on Friday all have something in common: They are places he does not appear to have any business interests.
Excluded from the lists are several Majority-Muslim Nations where the Trump Organization is active and which in some cases have also faced troublesome issues with terrorism.
