GREAT News!! Last night, a federal judge ordered the immediate suspension of enforcement of the President Trump’s executive order on refugees and immigration. The order is nation wide and is effective immediately.
A not of caution however, the ban is temporary and has to be turned into a permanent ban after a merits hearing. The interesting this however, is the fact that the judge believed the arguments from the suing states that President Trump’s statements during the campaign show that the ban was in fact a “Muslim Ban”. I have been arguing this point since the order was issued and I knew that a competent judge will issue such ruling.
I have read reports that DHS and DOS have suspended enforcement of all things related to this order. This means that people who were turned away will be allowed to board plans to the US. Also, DOS will be reissuing cancelled visas. Lastly, all halt in adjudications from DHS and USCIS will be lifted.
I hope that this temporary restraining order will become permanent. However, the administration has already signaled that the order will be appealed. I will stay in touch to update you.
