DHS Statement on Compliance with Recent Court Order

U.S. District Court Judge James Robart issued a ruling Friday, effectively halting Trump’s executive order, the so called Travel Ban!

 

In accordance with U.S. District Court Judge James Robart ruling on Friday, February 3rd, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has suspended any and all actions implementing the affected sections of the Executive Order entitled, “Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States.” This includes all actions subject to this Executive Order. DHS will resume normal inspection of travelers under their standard policies and procedures.

 

The Department of Justice has filed for an emergency stay with the ninth US circuit court of appeals and the court has already heard the case and is expected to rule soon.
