An emergency hearing in Brooklyn, New York just occurred that blocks part of President Trump's immigration ban that has provoked outrage in the US and abroad, the New York Times just reported 15 minutes ago. Watch the source video on ACLU's Twitter page that shows it being announced that Trump's 'Muslim ban' has just been blocked by a judge: https://twitter.com/ACLU/status/825534620015931393
Trump's immigration policy, known as the 'Muslim ban' consists of:
The president’s order, enacted with the stroke of a pen at 4:42 p.m. Friday, suspended entry of all refugees to the United States for 120 days, barred Syrian refugees indefinitely, and blocked entry into the United States for 90 days for citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

I was scanning the news this evening and learned of 4 airports in the US where there were sizable protests going on. It was learned that immigrants with visas were being detained after Trump enacted his executive order banning travelers from 7 countries. The protests were quickly formed to demand that the immigrants, caught in the middle of this ban be released.
A judge in Brooklyn has just announced that the immigrants/travelers will be released.
Here's one of the videos from the protest at JFK airport:
Here's another video that shows people at the airport protesting Trump's Immigration ban:
This news was just released within the last few minutes, so there aren't a lot of sources yet. Also, it's not clear how this block will actually function and what time period it will cover. From what I can assertain, it will allow those individuals to be released who are currently being detained at airports across the USA, who have arrived from the countries on Trump's list.
Thank you for reporting on this, going to check it out now.

Trumps ban on people entering the USA already caused some of my friends not to perform as performing artists, anymore in the USA. They belong to the top in their segment of music. Hopefully many more famous people will follow. Together with country leaders, US citizens protests, and hopefully also companies, pushing back on Trumps new rules for US visa, this will changethe strange way of thinking of President Trump.

it's widely known that Trump is a sociopath. It's very disturbing to see how we are all being negatively affected by his insanity.

what people don't realize is that Trump is a sociopath. He exhibits all the usual signs. This is just a fact. I was very close to a sociopath at one time, and I know very well what the signs are.....

I agree the mans head is not on straight. I found it humorous in the beg, never thinking he would actually get elected. Then after the pussy grab locker talk tape release i pretty much lost it on him completely, i grew up in abuse and being put down as a woman, and seeing people especially religious people support a man like that, who can act and say such things, and even go as far as thinking hes from god just angers me very much. The mans off his nut

why saudis are exempted from this ban?

That is quite (political) logical; The Saudi's being 'mates' of the US, the oil, the only country large and powerful enough to take a stand against sworn US enemies (Iran, Jemen) the US having military bases in Saudi. Basically, politics rather than common logical actions.
