Big problems at airports were caused by Delta computer outage” and “protesters,” Trump said in a series of Twitter messages Monday. The computer interruption at Delta didn’t begin until about 7 p.m. New York time on Sunday, more than 48 hours after Trump signed the executive order. While it grounded about 170 flights, it lasted less than three hours and didn’t affect international flights. Amid the confusion over Trump’s order, the courts went into the breach, with no fewer than three federal judges seeking to block parts of it temporarily. In Amsterdam and London, all U.S.-bound travellers from the seven countries — the others are Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Yemen and Libya — were being turned away.
