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.
Trump order blocked
On Saturday evening, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) argued in a federal court in New York for a nationwide stay that would block the deportation of all people stranded in US airports under what the group called "President Trump's new Muslim ban."
US District Judge Ann Donnelly granted the stay.
"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," 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 civil rights group is representing dozens of travelers held at John F. Kennedy International Airport Friday and Saturday, including two Iraqis with ties to the US military who had been granted visas to enter the United States.
The ruling does not necessarily mean the people being held at airports across the US are going to be released, said Zachary Manfredi, from Yale's Worker and Immigrant Rights Advocacy Clinic, who helped draft the emergency stay motion.
"The judge's order is that they (lawful visa/green card holders) not be removed from the US — it doesn't immediately order that they be released from detention," he told CNN.
"We are hoping that CBP (Customs and Border Patrol), now that they no longer have a reason to detain them, will release them. But it is also possible they could be transferred to (other) detention facilities."
"We are getting the order to as many CBP officers as possible right now," he added.
The United States denied entry to 109 travelers heading to the country at the time the ruling was signed, a Department of Homeland Security official said. The agency would not say how many of them were sent already home and how many were detained.
ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. Romero praised the ruling, saying "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."
Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the ACLU's Immigrants' Rights Project, who argued the case, said the 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."
Lawsuit is first challenge to executive order
The class-action lawsuit is the first legal challenge to Trump's controversial executive order, which indefinitely suspends admissions for Syrian refugees and limits the flow of other refugees into the United States by instituting what the President has called "extreme vetting" of immigrants.
The two Iraqis, Hameed Khalid Darweesh and Haider Sameer Abdulkaleq Alshawi, had been released by Saturday night. But lawyers for other detained travelers said in a court filing that "dozens and dozens" of individuals remained held at JFK.
Similar legal actions had been initiated in other states..
A federal court in Washington state issued a stay forbidding travelers being detained there from being sent back to their home country.
A federal court in Virginia has issued a temporary restraining order saying several dozen permanent residents returning from trips abroad should have access to lawyers while they are being detained at Dulles International Airport and these residents cannot be removed from the United States for seven days.
Federal judges in Boston have ruled early Sunday that officials may not detain a person on the basis of President Trump's executive order. This ruling was made after the ACLU of Massachusetts filed a lawsuit asking for the release of two associate professors at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, both Iranian nationals who are permanent residents of the United States.
The Massachusetts suit was filed after the federal judge in New York City granted a stay of removal on behalf of two Iraqi nationals and others "similarly situated" who have been cleared to enter the United States.
Trump's order, signed Friday, bars travel from seven Muslim-majority countries, including Iraq, to the US for 90 days. It also suspends the US Refugee Admissions Program for 120 days until it is reinstated "only for nationals of countries for whom" members of Trump's Cabinet deem can be properly vetted.
Released under special circumstances
According to court papers, both Darweesh and Alshawi were legally allowed to come into the US but were detained in accordance with Trump's order.
Darweesh, who worked as an interpreter for the US during the Iraq War, was released from detention early Saturday afternoon.
"America is the land of freedom," he told reporters at the airport shortly after his release. "America is the greatest nation."
A source with knowledge of the case confirmed Darweesh will be allowed into the US due to provisions in Trump's order that allow the State and Homeland Security departments to admit individuals into the US on a case-by-case base for certain reasons, including when the person is already in transit and it would cause undue hardship and would not pose a threat to the security of the US.
The suit said Darweesh held a special immigrant visa, which he was granted the day of Trump's inauguration on January 20, due to his work for the US government from 2003 to 2013.
Alshawi was released Saturday night, according to his attorney, Mark Doss.
Rep. Nydia Velazquez, D-New York, who had arrived at JFK by early Saturday afternoon to try and secure the release of the two Iraqis, railed against Trump's order and pledged continued action.
"This should not happen in America," Velazquez said following Darweesh's release. "One by one, street by street, if we have to go to court, we will fight this anyplace, anywhere."
'The executive order is unlawful'
The lawsuit said the US granted Alshawi a visa earlier this month to meet with his wife and son, whom the US already granted refugee status for her association with the US military.
The lawyers for the two men called for a hearing because they maintain the detention of people with valid visas is illegal.
"Because the executive order is unlawful as applied to petitioners, their continued detention based solely on the executive order violates their Fifth Amendment procedural and substantive due process rights," the lawyers argue in court papers.
Court papers said Customs and Border Protection authorities did not allow the lawyers to meet with the men and told them to try reaching Trump. Velázquez and fellow New York Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler said they attempted to speak to Darweesh and Alshawi at JFK's Terminal 4 earlier Saturday but were denied.
"When Mr. Darweesh's attorneys approached CBP requesting to speak with Mr. Darweesh, CBP indicated that they were not the ones to talk to about seeing their client. When the attorneys asked, 'Who is the person to talk to?' the CBP agents responded, 'Mr. President. Call Mr. Trump,'" the court papers read.
Doss, an attorney with the International Refugee Assistance Project, told CNN his clients knew they had to get to the US as soon as possible so they boarded the first flight they could.
The two men had been allowed to make phone calls. They do not know each other, and it is unclear if they were held together or separately, or if they were kept in a holding cell, according to Doss.
"Our courageous plaintiff and countless others risked their lives helping US service members in Iraq. Trump's order puts those who have helped us in harm's way by denying them the safe harbor they have been promised in the United States," said Karen Tumlin, the legal director of the NILC.
The lawsuit was earlier reported by The New York Times.
Legality questioned
Trump's executive order, titled "Protection Of The Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States," makes good on his longtime campaign promise to tighten borders and halt certain refugees from entering the United States.
The countries impacted are Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia, according to a White House official. It also caps the total number of refugees admitted into the United States during the 2017 fiscal year at 50,000, down more than half from the current level of 110,000.
"I am establishing new vetting measures to keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the United States of America," Trump said during the signing at the Pentagon. "We don't want them here."
An administration official told CNN if a person has a valid visa to enter the US but is a citizen of one of the seven countries under the temporary travel ban, then the person cannot come into the US. If the person landed after the order was signed Friday afternoon, then the person would be detained and put back on a flight to their country of citizenship.
Department of Homeland Security officials acknowledged people who were in the air would be detained upon arrival and put back on a plane to their home country. An official was not able to provide numbers of how many have already been detained.
After the federal orders were issued, the department said it "will continue to enforce all of the president's Executive Orders in a manner that ensures the safety and security of the American people.
"The president's Executive Orders remain in place-prohibited travel will remain prohibited, and the U.S. government retains its right to revoke visas at any time if required for national security or public safety.
"The president's Executive Order affects a minor portion of international travelers, and is a first step towards reestablishing control over America's borders and national security."

Hello my friend.

 

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I hope you have gotten more information by now. If not, all visas from Iran have been suspended for 90 days, including your K1 visa. There are many people on your side who are fighting this, and a court case has already been won today. Unfortunately, the ban is still in effect. Don't give up. You're not alone! At least, the ban for Iranians will likely not see past the 90 days, but you will probably have to wait again.

 

We feel your pain. This is horrible. Please message me if you have any questions or need anything.

Thanks for your kind sympathy. I know i should wait. Its so annoying for me. I cant describe what happened. I hope that something good happens.all my life is in three baggage now . My fiance is not feeling good too. I dont know why some people use their power to bother others like this. God help us???

Hello Atiielii,

Hii friends,

i sent all document and passport but after one week its still on AP .

please give me a good sign

why it takes that much long.. im so tierd if waiting everyday  

what is wrong that its 8 month after my interview and im still in AP

i thought after droping passport everything goes too fast but now i still should wait.... its a really reaalyyyy bad situation to be apart from your beloved one that much long

On 12/16/2016 at 2:14 AM, MA & SY said:

they will do soon enough! be positive trust in Allah everything delays for a reason.

good lucky!

Hiii dear friends,,,

how are you?? How about your processes?? Please give me if you have any updates..

for your information, i sent the requiered documents to embassy , after one week , yesterday i recieved an update on my case on date but still AP . Im really stressful not to be longer than this time. And i keep praying for all of us to get good news soon??????

Hii dear friends, actually i should tell you that all u need is to wait and be optomistic toward this issue. As it really takes time and all u need is to wait. Contacting NVC is not working whn ur case is in embassy. And embassy cant answer all people questions so they normally avoid phon calls and no direct responses. Mine was in AP for 7 month , interview was on 16th May , we were so stressfull and i cant describe how we felt. Finally in 13th Dec we finally recieved an update to retest for medical exam and send it with passport to embassy. Now its about a week that we sent them and just recieved one update yesterday on our case in CEAC. We are still worry as its exactly one year after our i29 approval and we are still holding on our case  

i hope it ends for all of us soon ?? We need to be patient and positive although i know its too HARD

I suppose they are done with whatever checks they were holding your case in AP for. Since they requested your passport back it looks like they'll be issuing your visa soon. I have no idea about what soon means in the Abu Dhabi embassy though.. 

Hopefully you won't be waiting too long

Thanks for your reply friend. I really hope it comes over soon for all of us??????

Hii dear friend,

Hallo guys,

So whats news??

yaaaaaaaay your visa is about time to be issued, you must celebrate it ... i'm so sorry for not being active last weeks, because I was getting prepared to point of entry to the US and my wedding is tomo. I just wanna cross by and see how things are going with you guys.

well for you my dear friend is better to submit all requirements all together even you are going to take time to go back to your home. since they haven't assign a deadline you are free to take your time and of cos as much as you can get things done earlier is better for you to catch up with your visa.

I just think about it it's a confusion for the CO to have a tax return and then he must wait till you get other things done, so however when your going to send it separately he or she can't make a decision regarding of your visa but when you send it all as a packet they will be ready and easy to issue your visa.

you are right since they told you send your passport you don't need to present in a person to the embassy of Abu Dhabi, come on they are ready to issue your visa HURRY UP

all the best my friend

Hii my friend,

Im so happy to hear that, i hope many happy returnes on your wedding and live with ur love so many years happily.

There is a point on my case that i send all documents with passport for them , how do they want to return my staff to me?? My passport and packet??

In this case i should go to dubai , have new test and back my country to send all staff to gether,

Ive heard they just give visa and package just to the person.

How its possible?? Im a little confused?

Hi Atiielii

I think it will be better if you first send the tax returns. Some embassies require your medical exam to be sent to them directly by the physicians. I don't know if that is the procedure in your country. If they asked for a second exam it only means the first one has expired or has a problem of some sort. If your interview was in Dubai then you should have your medical exam done in Dubai.

Yesss,, they told us its expired and new one is needed. I agree that we need to send tax forms first but what about the part of (drop your medical and passport) ?? It means i dont need to go to embassy by person and what to they mean by drop??

I think its the end of my procee?? What do u think for the rest??

Yes it is, it only means they are working on your case and your status will change to issued any time. Hope you get your visa soon.

Hi dear friend,

Ive got new update in embassy site with new structions. But its a little confusing of what to do, i will send u the instruction and u give me any clue regarding it,

Our case was approved in NVC on 4th of july 2016-

I had my interview on 16th of may. We didnt know any thing about 134 form of taxt return , so my fiance didnt know to send it with other documents for me, CO gave me 221 form with tick on AP and lack of 134 to bring in next interview. She was so challenging and she told me check the website after 2 month for furtur instructions.

I was so angry and sad and shocked of what to do for the rest of this process. I missed my fiance alot and it was so frustrated for both of us. There is no doubt on our marriage as we had engagement ceremony and all pictures and proof of two years love and engagement ...

Now its about 7 month that there is no news...

From the 4th month we started to email abudhabi for tarcking our case but all auto answers replied!!

Till last month that i myself mailed and they updated our date in CEAC but not the statue and my fiance mailed this month another update on date they give us with no update on statu.

I dont know why it lasts this long.. its so much hard for both of us and we want to start our life and future asap.

Although we met each other in dubai last month.

We always try to be positive and pray to God ..,??

Sometimes i try to ignore this Process and not think to much but its really involved with our life and future

Any clue on my story ill be happy to know???

Wish the best for all my friends in this jorney

Hello

Are you in AP since June of 2015?

We have been waiting since August of 2015

U still at AP??

What was ur problem or have u given 221g?

its been 6 month and a few days since I am in AP. as you said its very frustrating situation. the AP is getting longer and longer and they never respond why. Hope your Fiancé's Ap over soon.

its so hard...

When was your interview ??

Im in AP about 7 month

Yes I do know of K1 cases that were in AP for more than a year

Any way... i hope the best thing happens for all in most optimistic way,energy and happiness. ??????

Most often, when a beneficiary is called for a second interview after AP, it indicates they are ready to print the visa and just want to collect some updated paperwork. A second interview is not always requested prior to issuing the visa.

Additionally, as I am sure you are aware AP can continue for years. I know of some cases lasting more than 5 years.

Hii,

Thanks for ur notes.

Do u know any k1 visa lasts for years in AP??

Im not sure its for this type. I havent heard the process for K1 more than a years...

I hope it wouldnt be like that for us...

Its so upsetting

I wish the best for all of us waiting in AP ??????
