> Subject: Wa Po on court's reversal of Trump's Muslim ban
>
> Judge Ann Donnelly of the U.S. District Court in Brooklyn granted a request from the ACLU to stay deportations of 
> those detained on entry to the United States following President Trump's executive order. 
>
> And only minutes after the judge’s ruling in New York City, another came in Virginia when U.S. District Judge Leonie 
> Brinkema issued a temporary restraining order to block the removal of any green card holders being detained at Dulles 
> International Airport for seven days. Brinkema’s action also ordered that lawyers have access to those held there 
> because of the president’s ban.
>
> In Brooklyn, after a brief hearing in front of a small audience that filtered in from a crowd of hundreds outside, 
> Donnelly determined that the risk of injury to those detained by being returned to their home countries necessitated 
> the decision. She seemed to have little patience for the arguments presented by the government, which focused heavily 
> on the fact that the two defendants named in the lawsuit had already been released. At one point, she visibly lost 
> patience with a government attorney who was participating by phone.
>
> Donnelly noted that those detained were suffering mostly from the bad fortune of traveling while the ban went into 
> effect. "Our own government presumably approved their entry to the country," she said at one point, noting that, had 
> it been two days prior, those detained would have been granted admission without question.
