From Lalit K JhaWashington, Jan 29 (PTI) President Donald Trumps controversial immigration order against people from seven Muslim-majority countries today hit a roadblock as a US judge issued an emergency order temporarily barring authorities from deporting refugees and other visa holders who have been detained. The judge ordered the government to provide lists of all those detained at US airports since the measure went into effect. The judge said that sending those travellers back to their home countries following Trumps order exposes them to "substantial and irreparable injury." The countries impacted are Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia. Clearly the judge understood the possibility for irreparable harm to hundreds of immigrants and lawful visitors to this country, he said.
