Protests rock the U.S. after Trump's refugee ban
By Darlene Powers Jan 31, 2017
Another Federal District Court judge in Virginia also issued a seven-day to prevent green card holders being held at Dulles International Airport, just outside Washington DC, from being removed from the country.
Expect plenty more backlash on Trump's strict, but, some would argue, necessary immigration mandate.
Over the weekend the president and senior aides sought to defend the policy and play down the chaos sparked by the order.
What does the order do?
US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has said that passport-holders from states such as Iran and Iraq, including cabin crew, will be barred entry to the United States, IATA said in an email.
The prime minister arrived back in Britain to a storm of fury after she refused to condemn the U.S. president's controversial ban, which could affect United Kingdom citizens born overseas.
The U.S. may admit refugees on a case-by-case basis during the freeze, and the government will continue to process requests from people claiming religious persecution, "provided that the religion of the individual is a minority religion in the individual's country".
What does the order not do?
Priebus acknowledged that the visa restrictions could come up when Trump speaks to the leaders of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other countries. "Our Sikh and other non-Muslim brown and black members also suffer from anti-Muslim violence".
The order caught many by surprise, including Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly. (Multiple people have been released, but others across the country are still detained.) By Sunday, President Trump's administration appeared to have partially reversed course, saying green card holders from the seven nations banned will be allowed to return the country if they are outside the USA, though Reince Priebus, White House chief of staff, noted that they may be subjected to "further screening".

His aggression levels were higher than at the start and he even hit a few fizzing forehands of old as the fists began to pump. Federer loves tennis, and most likely would have been watching Friday night's match at some point as a spectacle.
The Darweesh family landed in NY at approximately 6 p.m. Friday evening, and Hameed Darweesh was detained by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officials, according to the complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of NY.
According to Reuters, five Iraqi passengers and one Yemeni passenger holding valid visas were barred from boarding EgyptAir flight from Cairo to NY and directed to flights that were going back to their home countries. "It does not take 26 people to be processed through immigration".
A Trump representative could not be reached immediately for comment.
"Get your nationals out before removing expatriates", said Sadr. He was supposed to fly from NY to Houston, but he was by officials that he couldn't apply for an asylum case and needed to fly back to Iraq.
"We only want to admit those into our country who will support our country and love deeply our people", he said.
What are leading lawmakers saying? Federal judges have issued rulings barring authorities from deporting travellers affected by the executive order. "As an organization whose membership is largely Muslim, a workforce that's nearly universally immigrant, and a working-class movement that is rooted in the defense of the oppressed, we say no to this inhumane and unconstitutional ban".
Legal experts were divided on whether this order would be constitutional.
One immigration advocate described Trump's move to ban refugees as akin to taking a wrecking ball to the Statue of Liberty.
Rudy Giuliani, who does not have a former White House role but is one of Trump's closest confidants, said otherwise. He said, 'Put a commission together. "He called me up". Show me the right way to do it legally'.
