The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is celebrating after a federal judge ruled in its favor, temporarily halting the removal of refugees and immigrants detained following President Trump's immigration ban.

“I hope Trump enjoys losing. He’s going to lose so much we’re going to get sick and tired of his losing,” ACLU national political director Faiz Shakir told Yahoo News shortly after the decision was announced.

12. Or they may be detaining them -- 2 judges ruled they will be detained, but not immediately deported

Drives me literally fucking crazy reading all over DU that "the ban has been lifted, hallelujah!"

They are still banned from entering the country (other than some detention facility) indefinitely.

A step in the right direction, but still sucks mightily

11. How many lawyers does the ACLU have??? I think they will need

A TON MORE.....every thing this orange does WILL NEED LAWERS. it will take a lot of years to get over this huge political mistake, but forever to recover from it, who is the tRump disaster. I cry for this once powerful country. From strength and passion, to compassion, and this FWAKING idiot HAS COMPLETLY DESTROYED THAT.

18. Trump is about to find out what operating within DoJ's finite budget is like

His M. O. Is to sue or threaten suing to get his way.
Usually he used this against people or companies that couldn't possibly contest him in court.

13. Whew! They are "only" being detained indefinitely

A step in the right direction, but still sucks mightily.

14. Excellent, so glad I joined ACLU after the elections, got to donate more after payday next week nt

15. I keep thinking there's more to this than meets the eye:

We'll get this eliminated (which does need to happen), but Trump and his thugs have a "terrorist" attack planned.
After which time he can say, "Now will you listen to me?"
With Trump, we need to keep looking in every direction.

19. you think like me

I don't believe though that it will necessarily be a fake one. This kind of thing incites vulnerable minds to retaliate. But it certainly would play right into the hands of this admin. I feel like our country has a lot in common with Turkey right now, just kind of teetering on the brink of losing its status as a democracy and without much more effort could turn theocratic.

17. I will never, ever, get sick & tired of Дональда Джона Трампа (Donald John Trump) losi

[Gothmog]

20. This is the first of many legal defeats for trump
