AMERICAN LEFT HISTORY

This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager

Federal judge stays deportations of travelers detained at U.S. airports after Trump order on refugees and migrants

The American Civil Liberties Union sought the action after the detention of travelers at airports in New York and beyond on Saturday, a day after President Trump signed an executive order barring refugees and migrants from seven mostly Muslim countries from entry into the United States.

Judge Ann Donnelly of the U.S. District Court in Brooklyn said the risk of injury to those detained by being returned to their home countries necessitated the emergency stay of deportations, and Donnelly noted that those detained were suffering mostly from the bad fortune of traveling while the ban went into effect.
