Judge bars US from deporting travelers with valid visas covered by Trump order

NEW YORK — A federal judge in New York has barred the U.S. from deporting travelers with valid visas covered by President Trump’s travel ban.
Cheers broke out in a crowd of demonstrators outside a Brooklyn courthouse as the decision, effective nationwide, was announced. The order barred U.S. border agents from removing anyone who arrived in the U.S. with a valid visa from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. It also covered anyone with an approved refugee application.
