Feb 6, 2017 at 14:00 comment added thanby @BobBrown They ignored the local courts. As soon as the federal court got involved they complied. It's not really a position, it's what actually happened.
Feb 6, 2017 at 13:59 comment added Bob Brown @thanby So, your position is that DHS ignored judicial stays until there was a judicial stay?
Feb 6, 2017 at 13:49 comment added thanby @BobBrown Not now that the federal court suspended the ban. When I made that statement, it was accurate.
Feb 6, 2017 at 12:28 comment added Bob Brown @thanby "DHS has said they're ignoring these judicial stays..." That is not the case.

Jan 31, 2017 at 23:00 comment added thanby @DanielR.Collins Very true, I hadn't considered that, but that doesn't seem likely.
Jan 31, 2017 at 22:00 comment added Daniel R. Collins @thanby: Theoretically, the courts could send in the U.S. Marshals (as officers of the court).
Jan 31, 2017 at 21:28 comment added thanby Also the DHS has said they're ignoring these judicial stays and enforcing the EO regardless of what the courts have done. Unfortunately they're the ones that ultimately control entry, so there's nothing the courts can really do about it.
Jan 30, 2017 at 22:15 comment added reirab I'm not sure that the advice in the message from the university is correct. AFAIK, the judicial orders only effectively applied to anyone who was already at a port of entry or in transit there. In theory, if you could get to Logan airport, it might cover you, but in practice I'd assume that airlines would deny you boarding per the EO unless you were already there or already in transit.
Jan 30, 2017 at 22:12 comment added reirab @BobBrown It is true that green card holders are included by the language of the EO. However, the government later decided not to apply it to them, after a bit of equivocation. The language of Section 3(c) of the EO applies to all 'aliens' from those countries. Per the definition in 8 USC 1101, 'alien' for the purpose of the relevant U.S. laws includes anyone who isn't a national or citizen of the U.S.

Added Bob Brown's correction
Jan 29, 2017 at 23:49 comment added Bob Brown It is not correct that green card holders are "targeted" by the executive order, although it is true that some green card holders were detained or delayed. wsj.com/articles/…
