11. CBP violating court order at LAX & refusing to meet with 2 Congresswomen

On Saturday evening, a federal judge in New York issued an emergency order temporarily barring the U.S. from deporting people with valid visas, even if they are from the seven nations subject to Trump’s ban.

U.S. Congresswomen Judy Chu and and Nanette Barragan were crisscrossing Tom Bradley terminal demanding information from Customs and Border Protection regarding confusion over whether visa holders had been detained after the federal judge’s stay had been issued.

“Because there’s a situation where you have someone who’s been granted citizenship, she’s here with her baby, and she’s being detained, and you can’t even have members of Congress get to her,” Rep. Nanette Barragan said.

“So now what we want is a briefing from CBP in terms of what they are doing,” Rep. Judy Chu said. “And they have refused to speak to us directly. And we are demanding that we get a briefing.”
