CNN | Homeland Security to comply with orders not to deport travelers

HomeMediaCNN | Homeland Security to comply with orders not to deport travelers

By Ariane de Vogue, Eli Watkins and Alanne Orjoux, CNN

"It's working out very nicely," Trump told reporters.
“It’s working out very nicely,” Trump told reporters.

(CNN)The US Department of Homeland Security said on Sunday it will comply with judicial orders not to deport detained travelers affected by President Donald Trump’s seismic move to ban more than 130 million people from entering the United States.

A federal judge in New York temporarily blocked the order 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.

That move limited part of President Donald Trump’s executive order barring citizens from those countries from entering the US for the next 90 days.

Similar legal rulings were made in Virginia and Washington State. In Massachusetts, however, two judges went further, saying the government should notify travelers who would have been affected by the executive order that for the next seven days they are free to travel to Boston.

“Customs and Border Protection shall notify airlines that have flights arriving at Logan Airport of this Order and the fact that individuals on these flights will not be detained or returned based solely on the basis of the Executive Order,” Judges Allison Burroughs and Judith Dein wrote.

Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security said it “will comply with judicial orders; faithfully enforce our immigration laws, and implement the president’s Executive Orders to ensure that those entering the United States do not pose a threat to our country or the American people.”

Here are the latest developments:

• Two Iraqis who were named as the petitioners in the legal action had been released by Saturday night. But lawyers said in a court filing that “dozens and dozens” of people remained in detention at Jjohn F. Kennedy airport in New York.
• Protests are scheduled Sunday at least even cities: Orlando, Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Seattle, Washington and Chicago, mostly at airports. On Saturday protesters converged on at least eight major US airports, demonstrating against the policy.
• President Trump said the government was “totally prepared” for the ban. “It’s working out very nicely,” Trump told reporters Saturday. “You see it at the airports. You see it all over.” However. there was widespread confusion across the country as authorities at airports struggled to adjust to the new directives.
