Swedish media says that it could be around 200 people that get to stay in the US temporary, people who were detained at US airports. Not sure what they mean by temporary, I assume someof those 200 ppl must been immigrant visa holders and greencard holders, so why temporary?

I'm not sure what they can do about GC holders but there's a couple articles that are talking about possibly cancelling issued visas.

At least it lets green card holders and valid visa holders back in for now. But they can't enforce new visas to citizens of those countries to be issued :( 

No it only allows a "temporary stay" for those who already entered the US and got detained at airports. The rest that are still abroad arent allowed to board any planes to the US from my understanding.

Temporarily until the federal court hears the case. The stay means the deportation is blocked until the court can hear the case and make a ruling.

one step at a time... immediate issue were the people left stranded. Lets hope our legal system comes through for people who have gone through vetting and legal processes to obtain their visas. Banning GC holders is mind boggling.

Swedish media only mentioned visas, but I assume it is both - it sounds odd to allow visa holders but not greencard holders. But who knows.

Pence is actually scarier than Trump. Trump's not a politician....Pence is. From what my sister told me (who moved to Indiana from CA), they're actually scared of him there.
