📅 28 January 2017 📍 United States

Lawyers representing travelers detained under President Donald Trump’s first travel ban obtained an emergency federal stay against removals. The lawsuit was brought for people including Hameed Darweesh and Haider Alshawi. Airport protests and legal intervention challenged the treatment of people from Muslim-majority countries as collective security threats. The stay protected specified affected travelers from removal; it did not settle the entire ban’s legality.
