The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced that the New York court's decision to halt the deportation of individuals affected by the executive order will not impact the overall enforcement of this order. The department stated that the court ruling only applies to a small number of individuals deemed ineligible for entry by the Department of Homeland Security. The statement from the Department of Homeland Security reads: 'Presidential orders will remain in effect. Prohibited travel will remain prohibited, and the United States government reserves the right to revoke visas issued whenever national security or public safety requires it.' On Saturday, federal judge Ann Donnelly in Brooklyn issued an emergency ruling in response to Trump's executive order regarding immigrants. According to this ruling, U.S. officials cannot deport individuals who have entered the U.S. with valid visas from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, and Yemen. This ruling also prohibits the deportation of any refugee whose application has been accepted. In other words, this ruling primarily applies to those who have been stranded at U.S. airports with visas, green cards, or refugee status, rather than those outside the U.S. According to the Associated Press, Stephen Miller, a senior White House advisor, stated that there is nothing in the New York court ruling that can 'delay or prevent the presidential executive order. This order will remain fully in effect.' The President of the United States signed an executive order on Friday banning the entry of citizens from Syria, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen into the U.S. for a period of three months. Additionally, under this order, the refugee admission program has been suspended for four months. In this context, global reactions to the entry ban for citizens of seven countries continue. Trump signed the order to prevent the entry of 'radical Islamic terrorists.' The U.S. virtual embassy announced that no visa interviews will be held during the 90-day period.
