Let me make this point: The poor execution of this Executive order
has resulted in chaos and confusion. It is unclear whether the Justice
Department or Homeland Security had any input. There seems to have been
a disagreement about whether it would apply to green card holders. There was confusion about whether it applies to
individuals already in transit or approved for travel. Even airport
directors--I have spoken directly with the directors of Los Angeles
International and San Francisco International, and there was confusion
about how it applies. Even airport directors were left in the dark
about how many people were detained and who they were. Sara Yarjani was one Californian caught up in this mess. She is an
Iranian national studying at the California Institute for Human Science
in San Diego under a valid student visa. After being detained at LAX
for 23 hours, she was sent back to Europe, a clear violation of the
nationwide stay against the order. What I am saying is that the court
stay was actually violated.
