Customs officials began detaining travelers to the U.S. hours after President Trump signed an executive order suspending visa entry into the U.S. from seven Muslim-majority countries, according to reports Saturday. Other travelers were being stopped from boarding U.S.-bound flights at overseas airports as the Trump refugee ban went into effect Friday night. Early Saturday, immigration lawyers in New York sued to block the order, claiming that numerous people have already been unlawfully detained at U.S. airports, Reuters reported. The order also imposes a temporary ban on travelers from Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, Sudan and Yemen. In Cairo, airport officials prevented seven U.S.-bound migrants -- six from Iraq and one from Yemen -- from boarding an EgyptAir flight to New York.
