Trump’s Travel Ban Lifted
The Department of Homeland Security announced it has suspended all actions regarding the Travel ban imposed earlier. Those individuals with visas that were not physically canceled may now travel if the visa is otherwise valid.
Federal Judge James Robart lifted the travel ban imposed on immigrants and refugees set up by the Trump administration. “The court concludes that the circumstances brought before it today are such that it must intervene to fulfill its constitutional role in our tripart government”, Judge wrote.
Airlines reacted swiftly allowing passengers banned to board US flights that were previously barred to board. Donald Trump have lashed out at the Judge who blocked his order he recently tweeted.
What is our country coming to when a judge can halt a Homeland Security travel ban and anyone, even with bad intentions, can come into U.S.?

The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!

When a country is no longer able to say who can, and who cannot , come in & out, especially for reasons of safety &.security - big trouble!
