A step in the right direction, but still an almighty suck situation.
Judge Blocks Part of Trumps Immigration Order. New York Times
'A federal judge blocked part of President Trump’s executive order on immigration on Saturday evening, ordering that refugees and others trapped at airports across the United States should not be sent back to their home countries.
But the judge stopped short of letting them into the country or issuing a broader ruling on the constitutionality of Mr. Trump’s actions.
While none of the detainees will be sent back immediately, lawyers for the plaintiffs in the case
expressed concern that all those at the airports would now be put in detention, pending a resolution of the case. Inviting the lawyers to return to court if the travelers were detained, Judge Donnelly said, “If someone is not being released, I guess I’ll just hear from you.”'

Similarly with the judge in Virginia
