The New York Times has a story saying Trump’s Immigration Ban Blocks Travelers At Airports Around Globe, By Michael D. Shear And Nicholas Kulish, January 28, 2017.
They say that like it’s a bad thing. They have a couple of sob stories about deserving cases detained, one of them named Alshawi. I can’t find, anywhere in that particular story, the fact that the Mr. Alshawi who is being kept separate from his wife and children who are living in Houston, has been living in Sweden.He’s a refugee from Iraq.

Their managers have given a heads-up to other affected agencies.
The CBP plan is to detain all travelers from these seven countries that are traveling on:These travelers will be denied entry to the United States and returned to their nations of origin; until they can be returned they will be detained, not release with a “not-likely slip” for a later appearance.

It’s denial of entry, and the denied person can’t get his foot in the courthouse door. [Read the whole thing]
And all this happened because unlike Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, or failed Presidential candidate Hillary, President Trump is himself on the American side.
