USA Today: Homeland Security: Judge's stay has little impact on travel ban
A federal judge's emergency order halting deportation of immigrants from seven Muslim-majority nations trapped at U.S. airports will have little impact on the overall implementation of President Trump's executive order, the Department of Homeland Security said Sunday.
"President Trump’s Executive Orders remain in place — prohibited travel will remain prohibited, and the U.S. government retains its right to revoke visas at any time if required for national security or public safety," DHS said in a statement. It added: "No foreign national in a foreign land, without ties to the United States, has any unfettered right to demand entry into the United States."

Update: Trump Immigration Ban Still In Place Despite Court Ruling, Says DHS (NBC)
WNU Editor: As I had mentioned last night .... where was the media/activist outrage when President Obama did the same thing when he restricted visas to Iraqis wanting to travel to the U.S.? But history aside, I expect this fight will now enter the courts and that public protests against these restrictions will continue .... but overall the impact on this executive order is clear .... travel to the U.S. from some countries is going to be difficult, and on the broader picture .... U.S. border agents will be told to enforce the law. On a personal note .... I know people in both Russia and Ukraine who want to immigrate to the U.S. and who have asked me in the past 24 hours on what they should do. I told them bluntly .... follow the law and do it properly and legally. The U.S. is now restoring control of its borders, and they will only permit immigrants who follow the rule of law .... and for those who do not .... you will be deported.
