Federal Judge Ann Donnelly of the Eastern District of New York has issued a temporary stay on President Trump’s immigration executive order. The ruling is in response to a petition by the ACLU on behalf of two individuals at JFK airport. The ruling does not overturn or even stop all aspects of the Executive Order. It applies to people who have already arrived in the United States and prevents them from being deported under the Executive Order. My understanding is that the stay has effect nationwide.
This is a breaking story. This post will be updated.
