Judicial order stays deportation of US MuslimsA judicial order on 28th Jan 2017 stayed the deportation of people from seven Muslim-majority countries who arrived in the U.S.

This is after President Donald Trump barred their entry into the country through an executive order on Friday.

The judicial order does not deal with the merit of the executive order issued by Mr. Trump that could be deemed unconstitutional as it effectively sanctions religious discrimination.

The New York court order extends to all of America and provides relief to people in similar situations but at least three more court rulings on similar lines have been reported from other States.

Protests erupted across America, particularly at airports where travelers were detained.

Sergey Brin - a Russian immigrant and cofounder of Google - was among the protesters at San Francisco International Airport.

Those detained or not allowed to travel to American include holders of permanent residency permits – popularly called green cards – students and business people.

Mr. Trump’s selection of seven countries that figure in the list has also brought into focus questions of conflicts of interests
