发帖数: 3813 | 2 Trump’s Immigration Ban Blocks Travelers at Airports Around Globe
WASHINGTON — President Trump’s executive order on immigration
quickly
reverberated through the United States and across the globe on Saturday,
slamming the border shut for an Iranian scientist headed to a lab in Boston,
an Iraqi who had worked as an interpreter for the United States Army, and a
Syrian refugee family headed to a new life in Ohio, among countless others.
Around the nation, security officers at major international gateways had new
rules to follow. Humanitarian organizations scrambled to cancel long-
planned programs, delivering the bad news to families who were about to
travel. Refugees who were airborne on flights when the order was signed were
detained at airports.
At least one case quickly prompted a legal challenge as lawyers representing
two Iraqi refugees held at Kennedy International Airport in New York filed
a motion early Saturday seeking to have their clients released. They also
filed a motion for class certification, in an effort to represent all
refugees and other immigrants who they said were being unlawfully detained
at ports of entry.
Mr. Trump’s order, enacted with the stroke of a pen on Friday
afternoon,
suspended entry of all refugees to the United States for 120 days, barred
Syrian refugees indefinitely, and blocked entry into the United States for
90 days for citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq,
Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
The White House said the restrictions would protect “the United States
from
foreign nationals entering from countries compromised by terrorism”
and
ensure “a more rigorous vetting process.” But critics condemned
Mr. Trump
over the immediate collateral damage imposed on people who, by all accounts,
had no sinister intentions in trying to come to the United States.
An official message to all American diplomatic posts around the world
provided instructions about how to treat people from the countries affected:
“Effective immediately, halt interviewing and cease issuance and
printing
” of visas to the United States.

The petition was filed on behalf of Hameed Khalid Darweesh and Haider Sameer
Abdulkhaleq Alshawi, who were detained Friday night after President Trump&
rsquo;
s executive order suspending the entry of refugees into the United States.
Confusion turned to panic at airports around the world, as travelers found
themselves unable to board flights bound for the United States. In Dubai and
Istanbul, airport and immigration officials turned passengers away at
boarding gates and, in at least one case, ejected a family from a flight
they had boarded.
Seyed Soheil Saeedi Saravi, a leading young scientist in Iran, had been
scheduled to travel in the coming days to Boston, where he had been awarded
a fellowship to study cardiovascular medicine at Harvard, according to
Thomas Michel, the professor who was to supervise the research fellowship.
But Professor Michel said the visas for the student and his wife had been
indefinitely suspended.
“This outstanding young scientist has enormous potential to make
contributions that will improve our understanding of heart disease, and he
has already been thoroughly vetted,” Professor Michel wrote to The New
York
Times. “This country and this city have a long history of providing
research training to the best young scientists in the world, many of whom
have stayed in the U.S.A. and made tremendous contributions in biomedicine
and other disciplines.”
A spokesman for the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities &mdash
; the
association of large public colleges — said that the group was aware
of an
Iranian undergraduate student who had been barred from boarding a flight.
A Syrian family of six who have been living in a Turkish refugee camp since
fleeing their home in 2014 had been scheduled to arrive in Cleveland on
Tuesday, according to a report in The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Instead, the
family’s trip has been called off.
Danielle Drake, a community relations manager at US Together, a refugee
resettlement agency, told the newspaper that Mr. Trump’s ban reminded
her
of when the United States turned away Jewish refugees during World War II.
“All those times that people said, ‘Never again,’ well, we
’re doing it
again,” she said.
On Twitter, Daniel W. Drezner, a professor at the Fletcher School of Law and
Diplomacy, posted an angry message for Mr. Trump after the executive order
stopped the arrival of a Syrian family his synagogue had sponsored.
Document | Motion for Class Certification in Refugee Detentions Lawyers for
two Iraqi men who were detained at Kennedy Airport filed a motion in an
effort to represent all refugees and immigrants who they said were being
unlawfully detained at ports of entry to the United States.
In an interview on Friday night on “The Rachel Maddow Show” on
MSNBC, he
expressed sorrow for the fate of the family and apologized for cursing in
his Twitter message.
“I can’t quite describe the degree of anger that I felt as a
reaction to
this, which then caused me to curse at the president on social media,”
he
said, adding, “which is probably something I should not do as a
general
rule.”
It was unclear how many refugees and other immigrants were being held
nationwide in relation to the executive order. Lawyers said that one of the
Iraqis detained at Kennedy Airport, Hameed Khalid Darweesh, had worked on
behalf of the United States government in Iraq for 10 years.
The other man they are representing, Haider Sameer Abdulkhaleq Alshawi, was
coming to the United States to join his wife, who had worked for an American
contractor, and his young son, the lawyers said. They said both men had
been detained at the airport on Friday night after arriving on separate
flights.
The lawyers said they had not been allowed to meet with their clients. &
ldquo;Who
is the person we need to talk to?” one of the lawyers, Mark Doss, a
supervising attorney at the International Refugee Assistance Project, asked
a border agent. “Call Mr. Trump,” said the agent, who declined
to identify
himself.
According to the filing, Mr. Darweesh was granted a special immigrant visa
on Jan. 20, the same day Mr. Trump was sworn in as president. Mr. Darweesh
worked with the Americans in Iraq in a variety of jobs — as an
interpreter,
an engineer and a contractor.
He worked as an interpreter for the Army’s 101st Airborne Division in
Baghdad and Mosul starting shortly after the invasion of Iraq on April 1,
2003. The filing said he had been directly targeted twice for his work with
the United States military.
A husband and father of three, he arrived at Kennedy Airport with his family
. Mr. Darweesh’s wife and children made it through passport control
and
customs, but agents of Customs and Border Protection detained him.
Mr. Alshawi was supposed to be reunited with his wife, who has been living
in Texas. She wiped away tears as she waited in her sister’s house
early
Saturday in a Houston suburb.
In Cairo on Saturday, five Iraqis and one Yemeni, all of whom had valid
immigration visas, according to airport officials, were barred from boarding
an EgyptAir flight headed to New York, The Associated Press reported.
It was not clear if any of the six passengers had already been granted
refugee status.
In Istanbul, during a stopover on Saturday, passengers reported that
security officers had entered a plane after everyone had boarded and ordered
a young Iranian woman and her family to leave the aircraft.
Iranian green card holders who live in the United States were blindsided by
the decree while on vacation in Iran, finding themselves in a legal limbo
and unsure whether they would be able to return to America.
“How do I get back home now?” said Daria Zeynalia, a green card
holder who
was visiting family in Iran. He had rented a house and leased a car, and
would be eligible for citizenship in November. “What about my job? If
I can
’t go back soon, I’ll lose everything.”
Shadi Heidarifar, a philosophy student recently admitted to New York
University, said in a message on Twitter that she had spent three years
applying to universities in the United States.
“I had to work to save money, gather documents. The application fees
were
so expensive that a whole family could live for a month” on them, Ms.
Heidarifar wrote. When she was accepted recently, she was elated. “But
now
my entire future is destroyed in one second.”

Trump’s Immigration Ban Blocks Travelers at Airports Around Globe
WASHINGTON — President Trump’s executive order on immigration
quickly
reverberated through the United States and across the globe on Saturday,
slamming the border shut for an Iranian scientist headed to a lab in Boston,
an Iraqi who had worked as an interpreter for the United States Army, and a
Syrian refugee family headed to a new life in Ohio, among countless others.
Around the nation, security officers at major international gateways had new
rules to follow. Humanitarian organizations scrambled to cancel long-
planned programs, delivering the bad news to families who were about to
travel. Refugees who were airborne on flights when the order was signed were
detained at airports.
At least one case quickly prompted a legal challenge as lawyers representing
two Iraqi refugees held at Kennedy International Airport in New York filed
a motion early Saturday seeking to have their clients released. They also
filed a motion for class certification, in an effort to represent all
refugees and other immigrants who they said were being unlawfully detained
at ports of entry.
Mr. Trump’s order, enacted with the stroke of a pen on Friday
afternoon,
suspended entry of all refugees to the United States for 120 days, barred
Syrian refugees indefinitely, and blocked entry into the United States for
90 days for citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq,
Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
The White House said the restrictions would protect “the United States
from
foreign nationals entering from countries compromised by terrorism”
and
ensure “a more rigorous vetting process.” But critics condemned
Mr. Trump
over the immediate collateral damage imposed on people who, by all accounts,
had no sinister intentions in trying to come to the United States.
An official message to all American diplomatic posts around the world
provided instructions about how to treat people from the countries affected:
“Effective immediately, halt interviewing and cease issuance and
printing
” of visas to the United States.

The petition was filed on behalf of Hameed Khalid Darweesh and Haider Sameer
Abdulkhaleq Alshawi, who were detained Friday night after President Trump&
rsquo;
s executive order suspending the entry of refugees into the United States.
Confusion turned to panic at airports around the world, as travelers found
themselves unable to board flights bound for the United States. In Dubai and
Istanbul, airport and immigration officials turned passengers away at
boarding gates and, in at least one case, ejected a family from a flight
they had boarded.
Seyed Soheil Saeedi Saravi, a leading young scientist in Iran, had been
scheduled to travel in the coming days to Boston, where he had been awarded
a fellowship to study cardiovascular medicine at Harvard, according to
Thomas Michel, the professor who was to supervise the research fellowship.
But Professor Michel said the visas for the student and his wife had been
indefinitely suspended.
“This outstanding young scientist has enormous potential to make
contributions that will improve our understanding of heart disease, and he
has already been thoroughly vetted,” Professor Michel wrote to The New
York
Times. “This country and this city have a long history of providing
research training to the best young scientists in the world, many of whom
have stayed in the U.S.A. and made tremendous contributions in biomedicine
and other disciplines.”
A spokesman for the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities &mdash
; the
association of large public colleges — said that the group was aware
of an
Iranian undergraduate student who had been barred from boarding a flight.
A Syrian family of six who have been living in a Turkish refugee camp since
fleeing their home in 2014 had been scheduled to arrive in Cleveland on
Tuesday, according to a report in The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Instead, the
family’s trip has been called off.
Danielle Drake, a community relations manager at US Together, a refugee
resettlement agency, told the newspaper that Mr. Trump’s ban reminded
her
of when the United States turned away Jewish refugees during World War II.
“All those times that people said, ‘Never again,’ well, we
’re doing it
again,” she said.
On Twitter, Daniel W. Drezner, a professor at the Fletcher School of Law and
Diplomacy, posted an angry message for Mr. Trump after the executive order
stopped the arrival of a Syrian family his synagogue had sponsored.
Document | Motion for Class Certification in Refugee Detentions Lawyers for
two Iraqi men who were detained at Kennedy Airport filed a motion in an
effort to represent all refugees and immigrants who they said were being
unlawfully detained at ports of entry to the United States.
In an interview on Friday night on “The Rachel Maddow Show” on
MSNBC, he
expressed sorrow for the fate of the family and apologized for cursing in
his Twitter message.
“I can’t quite describe the degree of anger that I felt as a
reaction to
this, which then caused me to curse at the president on social media,”
he
said, adding, “which is probably something I should not do as a
general
rule.”
It was unclear how many refugees and other immigrants were being held
nationwide in relation to the executive order. Lawyers said that one of the
Iraqis detained at Kennedy Airport, Hameed Khalid Darweesh, had worked on
behalf of the United States government in Iraq for 10 years.
The other man they are representing, Haider Sameer Abdulkhaleq Alshawi, was
coming to the United States to join his wife, who had worked for an American
contractor, and his young son, the lawyers said. They said both men had
been detained at the airport on Friday night after arriving on separate
flights.
The lawyers said they had not been allowed to meet with their clients. &
ldquo;Who
is the person we need to talk to?” one of the lawyers, Mark Doss, a
supervising attorney at the International Refugee Assistance Project, asked
a border agent. “Call Mr. Trump,” said the agent, who declined
to identify
himself.
According to the filing, Mr. Darweesh was granted a special immigrant visa
on Jan. 20, the same day Mr. Trump was sworn in as president. Mr. Darweesh
worked with the Americans in Iraq in a variety of jobs — as an
interpreter,
an engineer and a contractor.
He worked as an interpreter for the Army’s 101st Airborne Division in
Baghdad and Mosul starting shortly after the invasion of Iraq on April 1,
2003. The filing said he had been directly targeted twice for his work with
the United States military.
A husband and father of three, he arrived at Kennedy Airport with his family
. Mr. Darweesh’s wife and children made it through passport control
and
customs, but agents of Customs and Border Protection detained him.
Mr. Alshawi was supposed to be reunited with his wife, who has been living
in Texas. She wiped away tears as she waited in her sister’s house
early
Saturday in a Houston suburb.
In Cairo on Saturday, five Iraqis and one Yemeni, all of whom had valid
immigration visas, according to airport officials, were barred from boarding
an EgyptAir flight headed to New York, The Associated Press reported.
It was not clear if any of the six passengers had already been granted
refugee status.
In Istanbul, during a stopover on Saturday, passengers reported that
security officers had entered a plane after everyone had boarded and ordered
a young Iranian woman and her family to leave the aircraft.
Iranian green card holders who live in the United States were blindsided by
the decree while on vacation in Iran, finding themselves in a legal limbo
and unsure whether they would be able to return to America.
“How do I get back home now?” said Daria Zeynalia, a green card
holder who
was visiting family in Iran. He had rented a house and leased a car, and
would be eligible for citizenship in November. “What about my job? If
I can
’t go back soon, I’ll lose everything.”

reverberated through the United States and across the globe on Saturday,
slamming the border shut for an Iranian scientist headed to a lab in Boston,
an Iraqi who had worked as an interpreter for the United States Army, and a
Syrian refugee family headed to a new life in Ohio, among countless others.
Around the nation, security officers at major international gateways had new
rules to follow. Humanitarian organizations scrambled to cancel long-
planned programs, delivering the bad news to families who were about to
travel. Refugees who were airborne on flights when the order was signed were
detained at airports.
At least one case quickly prompted a legal challenge as lawyers representing
two Iraqi refugees held at Kennedy International Airport in New York filed
a motion early Saturday seeking to have their clients released. They also
filed a motion for class certification, in an effort to represent all
refugees and other immigrants who they said were being unlawfully detained
at ports of entry.
Mr. Trump’s order, enacted with the stroke of a pen on Friday
afternoon,
suspended entry of all refugees to the United States for 120 days, barred
Syrian refugees indefinitely, and blocked entry into the United States for
90 days for citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq,
Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
The White House said the restrictions would protect “the United States
from
foreign nationals entering from countries compromised by terrorism”
and
ensure “a more rigorous vetting process.” But critics condemned
Mr. Trump
over the immediate collateral damage imposed on people who, by all accounts,
had no sinister intentions in trying to come to the United States.
An official message to all American diplomatic posts around the world
provided instructions about how to treat people from the countries affected:
“Effective immediately, halt interviewing and cease issuance and
printing
” of visas to the United States.

The petition was filed on behalf of Hameed Khalid Darweesh and Haider Sameer
Abdulkhaleq Alshawi, who were detained Friday night after President Trump&
rsquo;
s executive order suspending the entry of refugees into the United States.
Confusion turned to panic at airports around the world, as travelers found
themselves unable to board flights bound for the United States. In Dubai and
Istanbul, airport and immigration officials turned passengers away at
boarding gates and, in at least one case, ejected a family from a flight
they had boarded.
Seyed Soheil Saeedi Saravi, a leading young scientist in Iran, had been
scheduled to travel in the coming days to Boston, where he had been awarded
a fellowship to study cardiovascular medicine at Harvard, according to
Thomas Michel, the professor who was to supervise the research fellowship.
But Professor Michel said the visas for the student and his wife had been
indefinitely suspended.
“This outstanding young scientist has enormous potential to make
contributions that will improve our understanding of heart disease, and he
has already been thoroughly vetted,” Professor Michel wrote to The New
York
Times. “This country and this city have a long history of providing
research training to the best young scientists in the world, many of whom
have stayed in the U.S.A. and made tremendous contributions in biomedicine
and other disciplines.”
A spokesman for the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities &mdash
; the
association of large public colleges — said that the group was aware
of an
Iranian undergraduate student who had been barred from boarding a flight.
A Syrian family of six who have been living in a Turkish refugee camp since
fleeing their home in 2014 had been scheduled to arrive in Cleveland on
Tuesday, according to a report in The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Instead, the
family’s trip has been called off.
Danielle Drake, a community relations manager at US Together, a refugee
resettlement agency, told the newspaper that Mr. Trump’s ban reminded
her
of when the United States turned away Jewish refugees during World War II.
“All those times that people said, ‘Never again,’ well, we
’re doing it
again,” she said.
On Twitter, Daniel W. Drezner, a professor at the Fletcher School of Law and
Diplomacy, posted an angry message for Mr. Trump after the executive order
stopped the arrival of a Syrian family his synagogue had sponsored.
Document | Motion for Class Certification in Refugee Detentions Lawyers for
two Iraqi men who were detained at Kennedy Airport filed a motion in an
effort to represent all refugees and immigrants who they said were being
unlawfully detained at ports of entry to the United States.
In an interview on Friday night on “The Rachel Maddow Show” on
MSNBC, he
expressed sorrow for the fate of the family and apologized for cursing in
his Twitter message.
“I can’t quite describe the degree of anger that I felt as a
reaction to
this, which then caused me to curse at the president on social media,”
he
said, adding, “which is probably something I should not do as a
general
rule.”
It was unclear how many refugees and other immigrants were being held
nationwide in relation to the executive order. Lawyers said that one of the
Iraqis detained at Kennedy Airport, Hameed Khalid Darweesh, had worked on
behalf of the United States government in Iraq for 10 years.
The other man they are representing, Haider Sameer Abdulkhaleq Alshawi, was
coming to the United States to join his wife, who had worked for an American
contractor, and his young son, the lawyers said. They said both men had
been detained at the airport on Friday night after arriving on separate
flights.
The lawyers said they had not been allowed to meet with their clients. &
ldquo;Who
is the person we need to talk to?” one of the lawyers, Mark Doss, a
supervising attorney at the International Refugee Assistance Project, asked
a border agent. “Call Mr. Trump,” said the agent, who declined
to identify
himself.
According to the filing, Mr. Darweesh was granted a special immigrant visa
on Jan. 20, the same day Mr. Trump was sworn in as president. Mr. Darweesh
worked with the Americans in Iraq in a variety of jobs — as an
interpreter,
an engineer and a contractor.
He worked as an interpreter for the Army’s 101st Airborne Division in
Baghdad and Mosul starting shortly after the invasion of Iraq on April 1,
2003. The filing said he had been directly targeted twice for his work with
the United States military.
A husband and father of three, he arrived at Kennedy Airport with his family
. Mr. Darweesh’s wife and children made it through passport control
and
customs, but agents of Customs and Border Protection detained him.
Mr. Alshawi was supposed to be reunited with his wife, who has been living
in Texas. She wiped away tears as she waited in her sister’s house
early
Saturday in a Houston suburb.
In Cairo on Saturday, five Iraqis and one Yemeni, all of whom had valid
immigration visas, according to airport officials, were barred from boarding
an EgyptAir flight headed to New York, The Associated Press reported.
It was not clear if any of the six passengers had already been granted
refugee status.
In Istanbul, during a stopover on Saturday, passengers reported that
security officers had entered a plane after everyone had boarded and ordered
a young Iranian woman and her family to leave the aircraft.
Iranian green card holders who live in the United States were blindsided by
the decree while on vacation in Iran, finding themselves in a legal limbo
and unsure whether they would be able to return to America.
“How do I get back home now?” said Daria Zeynalia, a green card
holder who
was visiting family in Iran. He had rented a house and leased a car, and
would be eligible for citizenship in November. “What about my job? If
I can
’t go back soon, I’ll lose everything.”
Shadi Heidarifar, a philosophy student recently admitted to New York
University, said in a message on Twitter that she had spent three years
applying to universities in the United States.
“I had to work to save money, gather documents. The application fees
were
so expensive that a whole family could live for a month” on them, Ms.
Heidarifar wrote. When she was accepted recently, she was elated. “But
now
my entire future is destroyed in one second.”
