Could The Government Be Sued For The Muslim Ban?

I was just reading the writing from the Independent (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/fire-and-fury-donald-trump-book-steve-bannon-muslim-ban-anger-us-president-white-house-a8143541.html) about the way the Muslim ban came about. The Independent reports:

"But the new book suggests that it was specifically decided it would be signed on a Friday so that it would cause the most possible disruption at airports. The order was hastily signed in such a way that it even affected people who were flying into the country – who were then detained as they arrived, with little clarity on what would happen to them, on one of the most popular days for travelling."

This makes it sound like they purposely wanted people detained at airports and unable to enter the country. If it did happen, in this way, could the people who were detained for days not sue the government for their malicious actions against them?

I thought the whole thing was sloppily done due to no one having a clue as to what they were doing but it would seem, according to Bannon, they knew exactly what they were doing. What horrible people.
