Liberties Union and Refugee Status

u.s: The American Civil Liberties Union, which sought the temporary stay, said it would help 100 to 200 people with valid visas or refugee status who found themselves detained in transit or at U.S. airports after Trump signed the order late on Friday, according to CBC. It was a dramatic end to Trump's first week in office, capped by the Republican president's four-month ban on refugees entering the United States and a 90-day hold on travellers from Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Iran, Somalia, Libya, and Yemen. The emergency court ruling was cheered at Boston's Logan International Airport, one of several major U.S. airports where protesters angry with Trump's order gathered. Executive orders What they are and how Trump uses them Canadians with dual citizenship can travel freely under Trump ban Advocates urge protection for refugees who enter Canada via the U.S. Trump's order sparked outrage and protests on Saturday.
