A Clemson professor got deported. I'm just at a loss for words.

1. A doctor from the Cleveland Clinic got the boot, too.

This may be the craziest thing a modern day POTUS has ever done.

[Pachamama]

2. It is happening....

And this should give everyone chills...

[starshine00]

3. this is unbelievable

there are people who are legitimate threats to this country but he is casting such a wide net it is going to probably going to cause retaliation by the very people he is trying to contain.

4. Thank you for stopping this possible threat Comrade Trump.

WTF is wrong with these people?

5. You know what, she's an American.

She lives here, she works here, she only goes back to visit her family once a year, she's a professor here, her life is here.

Or was here.

The Trump misadministration is a terrorist organization.

[llmart]

11. Not to get too nitpicky here...

because the ramifications of what has happened is more important, but I didn't see anything saying she was an American citizen, but I may have missed it?

She could very well be a permanent resident (aka green card holder), but that is not an American citizen.

I certainly support her plight and hate trump with a passion, but what I know from my work is that the general public knows very little about visas. So, I'm hoping maybe people would try to educate themselves about how expensive, difficult it is to get a visa, and how lengthy the process to become a permanent resident is.

14. No, she is not an American citizen in the letter of the law, but she is American in the spirit of it

Her life is here, what's going to happen to her, why does she have to put her future and her life on hold?

[llmart]

16. Well, I agree with that sentiment...

I wasn't trying to be argumentative. I have experience in this sector and just wanted to point out that it may be beneficial if more people understood the different classifications of immigration.

[ck4829]

18. OK, and you're right.

[llmart]

19. Believe me when I say that...

before I took the job I currently have, I knew next to nothing about visas and immigration law, etc. Looking back I'm a bit embarrassed that I didn't even try to understand the basics. That's not usually the type of person I am. I believe in self-education and lifelong education.

As an aside, I work at a public university. I don't know what I'll run into tomorrow when I go to work.

[ck4829]

21. It's good to know this stuff

We're going to need a wide set of skills from strong willed people to resist this "administration".

[smirkymonkey]

6. This is just horrible. Unbelievable.

This fucking bastard and his gang of thugs need to go. They are destroying this country.

[spooky3]

7. Lawyers rushed to Dulles and other airports

Here to try to help travelers with this mess. I hope some are in Dubai. Thanks to everyone helping.

[treestar]

8. Doing this to these people makes no sense!

If she had not made that trip, she would not have been a danger to the US but is due to the trip? This has nothing to do with terrorism.

[NBachers]

9. Bring Nazanin Zinouri here and deport Trump and his gang of Nazis instead.

[mythology]

20. Like anybody would take them

[LisaL]

22. I am sure Russia will be happy to.

[lark]

10. My heart breaks for her

and all the others who have lived her for quite a while, been productive and followed our laws and now we have stolen everything from them on the hate of nazi Bannon. Alt=right is just lie, he is a white nationalist nazi and so is his orange assface boss. Hope the judge keeps the stay in place and won't be bullied. This could be interesting.

[Ligyron]

12. Bannon and the rest care less about terrorism.

They probably welcome it as it will save them some false flag operations.

No, this is about eliminating everyone not White, Anglo-Saxon and Christian - and they'd like to eliminate a goodly amount of those as well. You know: the liberal and progressive ones.

The court system is about our only effective weapon for now and that's going to less less available as this administration starts to appoint all the judicial openings that should have been ours long ago.

Donate to the ACLU all you possibly can!

Why did we not see this coming more clearly (and I count myself among the deceived complacent)?

[BSdetect]

13. SUE SUE SUE

Civil suits against twitler if possible.

[progree]

15. And contrary to what you may read elsewhere on DU, no judge has stopped the detentions

or ordered anyone released. They have merely ordered the deportations stopped.

There have been some releases, but they were not the result of any court order. The DHS is allowed under der Trump's EO to make exceptions on a case-by-case basis.

Thank you for the great post on what it's like not being able to enter.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

17. Every country needs to unite and ban Trump, his family and his administration from travel

Until he tears up his stupid fucking muslim ban.
