Demonstrators at SFO loudly protest Trump’s immigration ban

Angry protesters are gathering at Kennedy Airport to denounce President Trump’s executive action against refugees.

Late on Saturday night a federal judge issued an emergency ruling that said stranded travellers could stay in the country following a legal challenge by the American Civil Liberties Union. It does not defeat the executive order entirely.

When Trump’s order went through, many of these people were mid-flight to their USA destination and when they arrived in the US they were detained under this new order.

Thousands of protesters turned out to Brooklyn’s Camden Plaza to await the judge’s ruling.

Hameed Khalid Darweesh was released Saturday afternoon, Rep. Nydia Velazquez and Rep. Jerrold Nadler said on Twitter. Trump signed the executive order Friday evening, leaving Americans and the global immigrant community reeling.

We’d also like to hear from experts who are offering advice, or people who work with refugees.

But there have been anecdotal reports of many people stuck in transit at airports around the world on their way to the US. It included green card and visa holders who were out of the country at the time of signing, banning them from returning for 90 days.

He said: “President Trump’s executive order against refugees and Muslims should shock and appal us all”. “Certified by successive administrations, the USA resettlement program makes it harder to get to the United States as a refugee than any other route”.

British Prime Minister Theresa May does “not agree” with the restrictions on immigration and will intervene if they affect United Kingdom nationals, Downing Street said.

“Those 109 people are being processed through the system to make sure that the vetting is applied, that they didn’t do anything nefarious overseas”.

The protest was planned for 6 p.m. CST in O’Hare’s International Terminal 5, though dozens arrived at the airport hours earlier, including several volunteer attorneys who gathered to assist travelers entangled in the ban.

Merkel’s condemnation came a day after she spoke by phone with the new USA president, when they discussed a range of issues from relations with Russian Federation to the situation in the Middle East and North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.

“But we do not agree with this kind of approach and it is not one we will be taking”. In court, Mancheno says, she said, “Nobody is to be removed”.

Darweesh is an Iraqi citizen with a visa – he was in Iraq helping US government employees with translation services.

The confusion over who would be rejected for entry into the US continued Sunday.

In a habeus corpus petition filed Saturday in a NY federal court on behalf of two people detained at John F. Kennedy International Airport, the ACLU called Trump’s move “unlawful”.

Americans across the country reacted strongly Saturday to President Trump’s executive order making changes to refugee policies.
