Five federal courts have now stayed parts of Trump's order. Most
require the government to allow entry to travelers who were en route to
the United States and hold valid visas or green cards. The most far
reaching, from a Washington State federal court, ordered Customs and
Homeland Security officials not to rely solely on the executive order
when making admittance decisions.
- The initial ruling came from Judge Ann Donnelly in the Eastern
District of New York. Her ruling last night also ordered the government
to provide numbers and details of who and how many travelers were being
detained. An initial Homeland Security estimate said at least 109
travelers were denied entry. It did not say how many were detained and
how many were summarily deported. It is also clear that the 109 number
is literally a fraction of those who got caught up in the chaos in the
first 24 hours after the order's imposition. Judge Donnelly's ruling is
