I could say more about this:
Double
standards never seem to go away. It seems to be fine for large
numbers of people to bomb Muslims back to the Stone Age while being
affront that they are trapped in airports. I'm not defending Trump or
saying that this is not an abominable action but isn't the bombing
(creating the refugee problem)?
It's
like once we've bombed them (in a "humane way" as opposed
to those evil Russians) we'd better be nice humanitarians and take
them in as refugees.
Insane!
Sage
words from Cynthia McKinney
"See
the Game? Funny, now the people who orchestrate the wars in Muslim
majority countries now duplicitously defend Muslim rights in the US."
‘Let them in’: Hundreds protest at JFK airport after Trump’s ‘Muslim ban’

A
spontaneous protest has engulfed New York City’s JFK airport after
a number of immigrants, including US green card holders, were
detained there Saturday, on the back of travel restrictions
introduced by President Donald Trump.
At least 12 immigrants were reportedly detained at JFK airport on foot of the ban prompting activists to quickly organize a protest calling for the release of those refused entry into the country.
Iraqi
translator and former interpreter for the US army during the 2003
invasion of Iraq Hameed Khalid Darwees, was one of those detained,
but was released after his lawyers petitioned a federal court
Iraqi refugee translator Hameed Darweesh just released because you demanded it! 11 more to go! #RefugeesWelcome no #RefugeeBan
Hundreds
of demonstrators are now standing at the airport’s international
hub, Terminal 4, chanting “let them in,”“no ban,” “immigrants
welcome here.”
“We
came here from Iran for freedom and democracy,” a woman named
Atousa told Neighborhood News NY. “We wanted to live here, in the
States, and this is what happens. I can’t understand. I can’t
understand.”
Other
travelers affected by the ban were reportedly blocked from boarding
flights to the US or turned back on arrival as Trump’s order was
promptly implemented.
JFK
Airport took to Twitter to warn travelers that they should take extra
time to get to the airport due to increased traffic as a result of
the demonstration

New York Taxi Alliance tweeted their support for the protest
announcing a one hour work stoppage at the airport as a measure of

Federal
Judge Grants Partial Block Of Trump Immigration Order
28
January, 2017
Symbolic war broke out between the Judicial and Executive branches shortly before 9pm on Saturday evening, when federal judge Ann Donnelly in the Eastern District of New York in Brooklyn issued an emergency stay halting Trump's executive order banning immigrants from seven mostly Muslim nations entering the US, and temporarily letting people who landed in U.S. with valid visa to remain on US territory, saying removing the refugees could cause "irreparable harm".

The
court's ruling was in response to a petition filed on Saturday
morning by the ACLU on behalf of the two Iraqi men who were initially
detained at JFK International Airport on Friday night after Trump's
ban, and were subsequently granted entry into the US.
A
federal judge tonight granted the American Civil Liberties Union’s
request for a nationwide temporary injunction that will block the
deportation of all people stranded in U.S. airports under President
Trump’s new Muslim ban. The ACLU and other legal organizations
filed a lawsuit on behalf of individuals subject to President Trump's
Muslim ban. The lead plaintiffs have been detained by the U.S.
government and threatened with deportation even though they have
valid visas to enter the United States.
Lee
Gelernt, deputy director of the ACLU’s Immigrants’ Rights Project
who argued the case, said:
“This
ruling preserves the status quo and ensures that people who have been
granted permission to be in this country are not illegally removed
off U.S. soil.”
ACLU
Executive Director Anthony D. Romero, had this reaction to the
ruling:
“Clearly
the judge understood the possibility for irreparable
harm to
hundreds of immigrants and lawful visitors to this country. Our
courts today worked as they should as bulwarks against government
abuse or unconstitutional policies and orders. On week one, Donald
Trump suffered his first loss in court.
However,
while some media reports present the court ruling as a wholesale
victory over Trump's order, the stay only
covers the airport detainees and those currently in transit, and
it does not change the ban going forward.
In
summary, the state of affairs as of this moment is that the executive
order is now frozen for the next few days, until the case can be
briefed. The court has ruled that no one who is currently being held
can be sent back to their country of origin, but it remains unclear
if they will be released is unclear.
Judge
Donnelly has ordered the federal government to provide a list of all
people currently held in detention. Where the stay falls short is
that according to the ACLU's lawyer, there still can be no new
arrivals from countries under the ban, but the ACLU and other
organizations are working to file additional suits to roll back other
portions of the order.

A
detailed read of Judge Donnelly's ruling, per
Josh Blackman,
reveals that the order states that petitioners have shown a “strong
likelihood of success” and that their removal would violate the Due
Process and Equal Protection clause, and cause irreparable injury.
(Note,
this order only applies to those already in the country, and thus
protected by the Constitution; the same analysis does not apply to
those outside the United States).
As
a result, the court issues what is effectively a nationwide stay,
enjoining all of the named respondents, including President Trump,
Secretary Kelly, and the acting director of the CBP, from the
“commission of further acts
and misconduct in violation of the Constitution as described in
the Emergency Motion for Stay of Removal.”
The
key part is what they are enjoined from doing:
ENJOINED
AND RESTRAINED from, in any manner or by any means, removing
individuals with refugee applications approved by U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Services as part of the U.S. Refugee Admissions
Program, holders of valid immigrant and non-immigrant visas, and
other individuals from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, and
Yemen, legally authorized to enter the United States.
Further,
the court orders the Marshal for the Eastern District of New York to
“take those actions deemed necessary to enforce the provisions and
prohibitions set forth in this Order.”
What
will disappoint civil rights advocates, is that this opinion only
affects the small number of people who were in-transit when the order
was issued, and arrived after it went into effect. The Constitution
attaches to their status, and they cannot be held in violation of the
Due Process Clause. The same analysis does
not apply to aliens outside the United States.

We
now look forward to Trump's reaction to this act of defiance by a US
Court which has partially - and painfully - voided his most
controversial executive order to date, and whether the Supreme Court
will be forced to opine on this most divisive of topics in the coming
days. If anything, the risk to the latter may accelerate the prompt
appointment of a conservative SCOTUS judge to fill the vacant Scalia
spot.

ReplyDeleteExcellent and professional investigative services. I hired him CYBERPHONEHACKER@GMAIL.COM for a very private and difficult matter of hacking my spouse phone, and he far exceeded my expectations.

I decided to hire him and I am glad I did. He is a fantastic investigator and a great person and
