They argued it hurt the citizens and their high tech industries. People who rely on free travel to sell products and bring in talented employees. They said this order was illegal and unconstitutional. They asked the judge to stop while it plays out in court. Judge james robard. He said there is no support for the President Trump administration claim there is no protection from the people who want to come here from the countries covered by the order. Iran, iraq, somalia and sudan and yemen. He issued this order. Pete, what is the immediate effect . Does this mean people with travel . The immediate effect is more confusion. It took the administration four days to make clear what the order did. Now it is trying to find out what this ruling means. The u. S. Officials were saying in the hours after the ruling it would not change anything immediately. All of the visas granted before the executive order went into effect were canceled by the order. They said anybody who now wants to come will have to get another visa and that will take a while. Theres confusion about the effect of the ruling on refugees. It does apply to that executive order too. With that said, whats next . First of all, we hope a clear statement from the government on what this means on immigrants who want to come here and students and others already here who want to go home and come back.
