Judge halts implementation of Trump's immigration order. Betcha the Con is pissed...AGAIN!

A federal judge granted an emergency stay Saturday night for citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries who have already arrived in the US and those who are in transit, and who hold valid visas, ruling they cannot be removed from the US -- a decision that halts President Donald Trump's executive order barring citizens from those countries from entering the US for the next 90 days.

"The petitioners have a strong likelihood of success in establishing that the removal of the petitioner and other similarly situated violates their due process and equal protection guaranteed by the United States Constitution," US District Judge Ann Donnelly wrote in her decision.

"There is imminent danger that, absent the stay of removal, there will be substantial and irreparable injury to refugees, visa-holders, and other individuals from nations subject to the January 27, 2017, Executive Order," the ruling said.

I can't wait to see the first tweets on this one. I bet he blames Obama for appointing this bad liberal judge! Judge Ann Donnely was appointed to the Fed Bench in 2009.

envelopes & pkgs. for anthrax powder. But even worse, I doubt he'd understand the message. I think I'll opt for a pic of a diaper printed on the back of a post card with the message "Cause you get pissed all the time!"

4. Well, not really. They won't be sent home immediately, but they will be detained indefinitely

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.”'

I'm sure Judge Donnelly will be hearing from the lawyers in the morning, because I haven't heard of any of them being released, and no judge has ordered them released.

Similarly with the judge in Virginia
