Comment: Judge Stays Visa Revocations
A federal judge has enjoined and restrained the United States Executive Branch from revoking (provisionally or otherwise) all immigrant visas for the 7 countries identified in the President's Executive Order.

In the interim, it is entirely possible that many affected visa holders can travel safely to the United States. For this, and other fast-breaking developments, see below.
