DISCUSSION

2

A temporary restraining order ("TRO") is "an extraordinary remedy that may only3

be awarded upon a clear showing that the plaintiff is entitled to such relief." Winter v.

4Nat. Res. Def Council, 555 U.S. 7, 22 (2008). The purpose of a TRO is to preserve the5status quo before a preliminary injunction hearing may be held. Granny Goose Foods,

6

Inc. v. Bhd. of Teamsters & Auto Truck Drivers Local No. 70 ofAlameda City., 415 U.S.

7

423,439 (1974). Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65 governs the issuance ofTROs and8

preliminary injunctions, and courts apply the same standard to both. Frontline Med.

9

Assocs., Inc. v. Coventry Healthcare Workers Comp., Inc., 620 F. Supp. 2d 1109, 1110

10

(C.D. Cal. 2009).

11

A party seeking preliminary injunctive relief must satisfy one of two tests. Under12

one test, the party must establish that he is (1) likely to succeed on the merits of his

13claims, (2) that he is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief,

14(3) that the balance of equities tips in his favor, and (4) that an injunction is in the public

15

interest. Am. Trucking Ass 'n, Inc. v. City ofLos Angeles, 559 F.3d 1046, 1052 (9th Cir.

162009).

17

Under the alternative test, a party must show "'serious questions going to the18

merits' [,] a balance of hardships that tips sharply toward the plaintiff," a likelihood of

19

irreparable harm, and that the injunction is in the public interest. Alliance for the Wild20

Rockies v. Cottrell, 632 F.3d 1127, 1132 (9th Cir. 2011). A "serious question" is one on

21

which the movant "has a fair chance of success on the merits." Sierra On-Line, Inc. v.

22

Phoenix Software, Inc., 739 F.2d 1415, 1421 (9th Cir. 1984).

23

The Court finds that Plaintiffs have satisfied these standards and that a TRO

24should issue. Plaintiffs have satisfied the first test because they have shown that they are25

likely to succeed on the merits of claims that would entitle them to relief; Plaintiffs are26

likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief; the balance of27

equities favors Plaintiffs; and an injunction is in the public interest. Plaintiffs have also

28

satisfied the "alternative" test: they have established at least a serious question going to

the merits of their claims; that the balance of hardships tips decisively in their favor; and,2

as noted as to the first test, a likelihood of irreparable harm and that an injunction is in3

the public interest.

Subject: Request for CBP to issue Transportation/Boarding Letter to 12-year-old girl from Yemen

Dearl (b11•1. (b11111c1_:
Thank you for speaking with me today.
As I explained, I understand that CBP has the authority to issue Transportation/Boarding lettersto individuals who areabroad. i·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-· (b )(7)(E) -·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-· i
Section 3(g) of the Executive Order provides that the ban on travel may be lifted on a case-bycase basis "when in the national interest" to do so. CBP guidance issued yesterday also reiterates
that there are case-by-case exceptions available. https://www.cbp.gov/border-security/protectingnation-foreign-terrorist-entry-united-states
The Q&A says:
What do the two exemptions in the Executive Order mean? How are they applied toindividual cases?
DHS and State can review individual cases and grant waivers on a case-by-case basis ifthat individual's admission to the United States is deemed to be in the national interestand if they do not pose a national security threat.
As I explained briefly on the phone, I represent[ ______________ (b)(6),_ (b)(7)(C) ___________ }n all immigration
matters, who is a twelve-year old Yemeni client, with an Immigrant Visa (that was issued on
January 25, 2017 by the US Embassy in Djibouti), who is stranded in Djibouti (with her U.S.
citizen father) after she was denied permission to board a plane on Saturday due to the executive
order. She is seeking to reunite with her U.S. citizen parents and U.S. citizen siblings in[:,;~;~,;~;~
iL--·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·(b)(G), (b)(7)(C) ~nd would therefore fly to SFO.
We are seeking a Transportation/Boarding letter so that she may be immediately allowed totravel to and enter the United States on her approved immigrant visa because her admission for
purposes of family reunification is in the national interest of our country. The U.S. Departmentof State, after years of national security vetting, has already determined that [·1:;~~1~;:;1~;~~~poses nodanger to our nation. Furthermore, it is in our nation's interest to reunite her\vitfflier U.S. citizen
parents in the United States and promote family unification, a core value of our immigration
laws.
Furthermore, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California order that was signed
on January 31, 2017 (and is attached), applies to my client li~1-~1~1~1~1~1jlt orders that Defendants,
inform all relevant airport, airline, and other authorities that Plaintiffs (and other persons from
Yemen with valid immigrant visas) are permitted to travel to the United States on their valid

immigrant visas. Given this Court Order, I believe CBP could also issue a
Transportation/Boarding letter to her.
Thank you for considering my request for i(•H•).(b)(7)(C)~o be issued a Transportation/Boarding letter sothat she may be immediately allowed to travel to and enter the United States on her approved,immigrant _visa. __Please_ let_ me_ know_ if you_ would _like _us _to fill __out_the_ form_ here: ___ .

Subject:

All
Just got off telephone with SF PD-they anticipate a demonstration in front of the Departures level (SFPD Lieutenant
stated "arrivals level" but further conversation indicates the level where BART is) by a group called "Not In Our Name" at
1500 hours. This group is supposedly anti-Trump, anti-immigration control, according to SFPD. SFPD will monitor
situation and not interfere unless the group breaks any laws, such as trying to enter the FIS. SFPD stated they will haveofficers posted around the FIS exit to monitor situation.

Dear Director Humphrey and Officetj_(•H•l._(")(')(c)_!
Thank you for your update from earlier today about the case.
I am sure you are aware of the new district court order from Seattle granting the temporary restraining ordereffective immediately, suggesting that travel restrictions could be lifted straight away.
http://www.reuters.com/artic1e/us-usa-trump-immigration-idUSKBN15IlCM As soon as the written order isreleased in this case and I have a copy of it, I will forward it to you. If you could speak with legal counsel about
this order that would be helpful.
In light of the judge's order, will CBP be able to issue a transportation letter and notify the airlines that myclien(1•11•1.1•11,11c1~s permitted to board a flight?

As I explained, I understand that CBP has the authority to issue Transportation/Boarding letters to individuals
who are abroad. [_·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-· ( b) (7) ( E) ·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-· j
Section 3(g) of the Executive Order provides that the ban on travel may be lifted on a case-by-case basis "whenin the national interest" to do so. CBP guidance issued yesterday also reiterates that there are case-by-case
exceptions available. https ://www. cbp. gov/border-security/protecting-nation-foreign-terrorist-entry-unitedstates
The Q&A says:
What do the two exemptions in the Executive Order mean? How are they applied to individual cases?
DHS and State can review individual cases and grant waivers on a case-by-case basis if that individual's
admission to the United States is deemed to be in the national interest and if they do not pose a national
security threat.
As I explained briefly on the phone, I represent l_ ______________ (b)(6), _(b)(7)(C) ·-·-·-·-·-·-·-Jn all immigration matters, who is a
twelve-year old Yemeni client, with an Immigrant Visa (that was issued on January 25, 2017 by the US
Embassy in Djibouti), who is stranded in Djibouti (with her U.S. citizen father) after she was denied permission
to board a plane on Saturday due to the executive order. She is seeking to reunite with her U.S. citizen parents
and U.S. citizen siblings inl_ _____ __(b)(6),__(b)(7)(C) ________ [ and would therefore fly to SFO.
We are seeking a Transportation/Boarding letter so that she may be immediately allowed to travel to and enterthe United States on her approved immigrant visa because her admission for purposes of family reunification isin the national interest of our country. The U.S. Department of State, after years of national security vetting, hasalready determined that:_1,11,11,11 11°1_:poses no danger to our nation. Furthermore, it is in our nation's interest to reunite
her with her U.S. citizen parents in the United States and promote family unification, a core value of ourimmigration laws.

DISCUSSION

2

A temporary restraining order ("TRO") is "an extraordinary remedy that may only3

be awarded upon a clear showing that the plaintiff is entitled to such relief." Winter v.

4Nat. Res. Def Council, 555 U.S. 7, 22 (2008). The purpose of a TRO is to preserve the5status quo before a preliminary injunction hearing may be held. Granny Goose Foods,

6

Inc. v. Bhd. of Teamsters & Auto Truck Drivers Local No. 70 ofAlameda City., 415 U.S.

7

423,439 (1974). Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65 governs the issuance ofTROs and8

preliminary injunctions, and courts apply the same standard to both. Frontline Med.

9

Assocs., Inc. v. Coventry Healthcare Workers Comp., Inc., 620 F. Supp. 2d 1109, 1110

10

(C.D. Cal. 2009).

11

A party seeking preliminary injunctive relief must satisfy one of two tests. Under12

one test, the party must establish that he is (1) likely to succeed on the merits of his

13claims, (2) that he is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief,

14(3) that the balance of equities tips in his favor, and (4) that an injunction is in the public

15

interest. Am. Trucking Ass 'n, Inc. v. City ofLos Angeles, 559 F.3d 1046, 1052 (9th Cir.

162009).

17

Under the alternative test, a party must show "'serious questions going to the18

merits' [,] a balance of hardships that tips sharply toward the plaintiff," a likelihood of

19

irreparable harm, and that the injunction is in the public interest. Alliance for the Wild20

Rockies v. Cottrell, 632 F.3d 1127, 1132 (9th Cir. 2011). A "serious question" is one on

21

which the movant "has a fair chance of success on the merits." Sierra On-Line, Inc. v.

22

Phoenix Software, Inc., 739 F.2d 1415, 1421 (9th Cir. 1984).

23

The Court finds that Plaintiffs have satisfied these standards and that a TRO

24should issue. Plaintiffs have satisfied the first test because they have shown that they are25

likely to succeed on the merits of claims that would entitle them to relief; Plaintiffs are26

likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief; the balance of27

equities favors Plaintiffs; and an injunction is in the public interest. Plaintiffs have also

28

satisfied the "alternative" test: they have established at least a serious question going to
3.

the merits of their claims; that the balance of hardships tips decisively in their favor; and,2

as noted as to the first test, a likelihood of irreparable harm and that an injunction is in3

the public interest.

UPDATE:The group outside the "A" exit to the arrivals lobby has been dispersed.
Per SFPD approximately 300 protesters are massed on the curb outside the FIS arrivals lobby. SFPD states they arehearing "chatter" from some in the crowd suggesting that "they rush the doors" to the FIS and "free those being illegallydetained by CBP". SFPD states they are reaching out to San Mateo County Sheriff's Department for assistance in crowd
control.
Actions:
CBP SFO is shutting down the "San Francisco Arrivals" set of exit doors, and rerouting passengers to utilize only the"Connecting Flights" set of exit doors as the sole means of exiting the FIS
Armed CBP Officers are stationed at both sets of exit doors to control entry
CBP SFO is maintaining constant communication with SFPD to in order to monitor protest activity and assess risk.

There are still about 100 protesters outside the Transit Door and about 500 protesters on the Arrivals
Door. Every so often someone will approach and try to gain info as they claim to be a lawyer for clients
inside.
Those people are referred to CHP Public Affairs in DC via the website. No other info is being relayed.
The exit A and G doors are still not being used. Passengers are being sent out the transit door. There
have been no breeches into our AOR.
Staff is holding the line and conducting business as usual for lookouts.

UPDATE:The group outside the "A" exit to the arrivals lobby has been dispersed.
Per SFPD approximately 300 protesters are massed on the curb outside the FIS arrivals lobby. SFPD states they arehearing "chatter" from some in the crowd suggesting that "they rush the doors" to the FIS and "free those being illegallydetained by CBP". SFPD states they are reaching out to San Mateo County Sheriff's Department for assistance in crowd
control.
Actions:
CBP SFO is shutting down the "San Francisco Arrivals" set of exit doors, and rerouting passengers to utilize only the"Connecting Flight s" set of exit doors as the sole means of exiting the FIS
Armed CBP Officers are stationed at both sets of exit doors to control entry

Hi:i"jisfl

Dear!i.·-·-·-·-·-·-·.!
(b)(6), (b)(7)(C)

Thank you for speaking with me today.
As I explained, I understand that CBP has the authority to issue Transportation/Boarding letters to individuals
who are abroad. http:!/photos. state. gov/libraries/shanghai/228904/ACS/TLApplicationFormat.pdf
Section 3(g) of the Executive Order provides that the ban on travel may be lifted on a case-by-case basis "whenin the national interest" to do so. CBP guidance issued yesterday also reiterates that there are case-by-case
exceptions available. https ://www. cbp. gov/border-security/protecting-nation-foreign-terrorist-entry-unitedstates
The Q&A says:
What do the two exemptions in the Executive Order mean? How are they applied to individual cases?
DHS and State can review individual cases and grant waivers on a case-by-case basis if that individual's
admission to the United States is deemed to be in the national interest and if they do not pose a national
security threat.
As I explained briefly on the phone, I representi(b)(6)! in all immigration matters, who is a~'.J (b )(6) 1client, with an Immigr~nt Visa (that was issued on ·r.·~--~--~--~--~--~-X~Rsf~.-~.-~.-~.-~.-JY the us

and U.S. citizen siblings iniL--·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·-·(b)(6)i and would therefore fly to SFO.

:_ ________ ___ .{~H~L._ ______We are seeking a Transportation/Boarding letter so that she may be immediately allowed to travel to and enterthe United States on her approved immigrant visa because her admission for purposes of family reunification isin the national interest of our country. The U.S. Department of State, after years of national security vetting, hasalready determined that!. (b )(6) _poses no danger to our nation. Furthermore, it is in our nation's interest to reunite
her with her U.S. citizen parents in the United States and promote family unification, a core value of ourimmigration laws.
Furthermore, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California order that was signed on January 31,2017 (and is attached), applies to my client[i~ii~i:J It orders that Defendants, inform all relevant airport, airline,
and other authorities that Plaintiffs (and other persons from Yemen with valid immigrant visas) are permitted totravel to the United States on their valid immigrant visas. Given this Court Order, I believe CBP could also
issue a Transportation/Boarding letter to her.
Thank you for considering my request for!L--·-·-·-·-·-·-·•(b)(6) lo be issued a Transportation/Boarding letter so that she may
be immediately allowed to travel to and enter the United States on her approved immigrant visa. Please let meknow if you would like us to fill out the form here:

DISCUSSION

2

A temporary restraining order ("TRO") is "an extraordinary remedy that may only3

be awarded upon a clear showing that the plaintiff is entitled to such relief." Winter v.

4Nat. Res. Def Council, 555 U.S. 7, 22 (2008). The purpose of a TRO is to preserve the5status quo before a preliminary injunction hearing may be held. Granny Goose Foods,

6

Inc. v. Bhd. of Teamsters & Auto Truck Drivers Local No. 70 ofAlameda City., 415 U.S.

7

423,439 (1974). Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65 governs the issuance ofTROs and8

preliminary injunctions, and courts apply the same standard to both. Frontline Med.

9

Assocs., Inc. v. Coventry Healthcare Workers Comp., Inc., 620 F. Supp. 2d 1109, 1110

10

(C.D. Cal. 2009).

11

A party seeking preliminary injunctive relief must satisfy one of two tests. Under12

one test, the party must establish that he is (1) likely to succeed on the merits of his

13claims, (2) that he is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief,

14(3) that the balance of equities tips in his favor, and (4) that an injunction is in the public

15

interest. Am. Trucking Ass 'n, Inc. v. City ofLos Angeles, 559 F.3d 1046, 1052 (9th Cir.

162009).

17

Under the alternative test, a party must show "'serious questions going to the18

merits' [,] a balance of hardships that tips sharply toward the plaintiff," a likelihood of

19

irreparable harm, and that the injunction is in the public interest. Alliance for the Wild20

Rockies v. Cottrell, 632 F.3d 1127, 1132 (9th Cir. 2011). A "serious question" is one on

21

which the movant "has a fair chance of success on the merits." Sierra On-Line, Inc. v.

22

Phoenix Software, Inc., 739 F.2d 1415, 1421 (9th Cir. 1984).

23

The Court finds that Plaintiffs have satisfied these standards and that a TRO

24should issue. Plaintiffs have satisfied the first test because they have shown that they are25

likely to succeed on the merits of claims that would entitle them to relief; Plaintiffs are26

likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief; the balance of27

equities favors Plaintiffs; and an injunction is in the public interest. Plaintiffs have also

28

satisfied the "alternative" test: they have established at least a serious question going to

the merits of their claims; that the balance of hardships tips decisively in their favor; and,2

as noted as to the first test, a likelihood of irreparable harm and that an injunction is in3

the public interest.

DISCUSSION

2

A temporary restraining order ("TRO") is "an extraordinary remedy that may only3

be awarded upon a clear showing that the plaintiff is entitled to such relief." Winter v.

4Nat. Res. Def Council, 555 U.S. 7, 22 (2008). The purpose of a TRO is to preserve the5status quo before a preliminary injunction hearing may be held. Granny Goose Foods,

6

Inc. v. Bhd. of Teamsters & Auto Truck Drivers Local No. 70 ofAlameda City., 415 U.S.

7

423,439 (1974). Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65 governs the issuance ofTROs and8

preliminary injunctions, and courts apply the same standard to both. Frontline Med.

9

Assocs., Inc. v. Coventry Healthcare Workers Comp., Inc., 620 F. Supp. 2d 1109, 1110

10

(C.D. Cal. 2009).

11

A party seeking preliminary injunctive relief must satisfy one of two tests. Under12

one test, the party must establish that he is (1) likely to succeed on the merits of his

13claims, (2) that he is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief,

14(3) that the balance of equities tips in his favor, and (4) that an injunction is in the public

15

interest. Am. Trucking Ass 'n, Inc. v. City ofLos Angeles, 559 F.3d 1046, 1052 (9th Cir.

162009).

17

Under the alternative test, a party must show "'serious questions going to the18

merits' [,] a balance of hardships that tips sharply toward the plaintiff," a likelihood of

19

irreparable harm, and that the injunction is in the public interest. Alliance for the Wild20

Rockies v. Cottrell, 632 F.3d 1127, 1132 (9th Cir. 2011). A "serious question" is one on

21

which the movant "has a fair chance of success on the merits." Sierra On-Line, Inc. v.

22

Phoenix Software, Inc., 739 F.2d 1415, 1421 (9th Cir. 1984).

23

The Court finds that Plaintiffs have satisfied these standards and that a TRO

24should issue. Plaintiffs have satisfied the first test because they have shown that they are25

likely to succeed on the merits of claims that would entitle them to relief; Plaintiffs are26

likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief; the balance of27

equities favors Plaintiffs; and an injunction is in the public interest. Plaintiffs have also

28

satisfied the "alternative" test: they have established at least a serious question going to

the merits of their claims; that the balance of hardships tips decisively in their favor; and,2

as noted as to the first test, a likelihood of irreparable harm and that an injunction is in3

the public interest.

As I explained, I understand that CBP has the authority to issue Transportation/Boarding letters to individuals
who are abroad. http:!/photos. state. gov/libraries/shanghai/228904/ACS/TLApplicationFormat.pdf
Section 3(g) of the Executive Order provides that the ban on travel may be lifted on a case-by-case basis "whenin the national interest" to do so. CBP guidance issued yesterday also reiterates that there are case-by-case
exceptions available. https ://www. cbp. gov/border-security/protecting-nation-foreign-terrorist-entry-unitedstates
The Q&A says:
What do the two exemptions in the Executive Order mean? How are they applied to individual cases?
DHS and State can review individual cases and grant waivers on a case-by-case basis if that individual's
admission to the United States is deemed to be in the national interest and if they do not pose a national
security threat.

DISCUSSION

2

A temporary restraining order ("TRO") is "an extraordinary remedy that may only3

be awarded upon a clear showing that the plaintiff is entitled to such relief." Winter v.

4Nat. Res. Def Council, 555 U.S. 7, 22 (2008). The purpose of a TRO is to preserve the5status quo before a preliminary injunction hearing may be held. Granny Goose Foods,

6

Inc. v. Bhd. of Teamsters & Auto Truck Drivers Local No. 70 ofAlameda City., 415 U.S.

7

423,439 (1974). Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65 governs the issuance ofTROs and8

preliminary injunctions, and courts apply the same standard to both. Frontline Med.

9

Assocs., Inc. v. Coventry Healthcare Workers Comp., Inc., 620 F. Supp. 2d 1109, 1110

10

(C.D. Cal. 2009).

11

A party seeking preliminary injunctive relief must satisfy one of two tests. Under12

one test, the party must establish that he is (1) likely to succeed on the merits of his

13claims, (2) that he is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief,

14(3) that the balance of equities tips in his favor, and (4) that an injunction is in the public

15

interest. Am. Trucking Ass 'n, Inc. v. City ofLos Angeles, 559 F.3d 1046, 1052 (9th Cir.

162009).

17

Under the alternative test, a party must show "'serious questions going to the18

merits' [,] a balance of hardships that tips sharply toward the plaintiff," a likelihood of

19

irreparable harm, and that the injunction is in the public interest. Alliance for the Wild20

Rockies v. Cottrell, 632 F.3d 1127, 1132 (9th Cir. 2011). A "serious question" is one on

21

which the movant "has a fair chance of success on the merits." Sierra On-Line, Inc. v.

22

Phoenix Software, Inc., 739 F.2d 1415, 1421 (9th Cir. 1984).

23

The Court finds that Plaintiffs have satisfied these standards and that a TRO

24should issue. Plaintiffs have satisfied the first test because they have shown that they are25

likely to succeed on the merits of claims that would entitle them to relief; Plaintiffs are26

likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief; the balance of27

equities favors Plaintiffs; and an injunction is in the public interest. Plaintiffs have also

28

satisfied the "alternative" test: they have established at least a serious question going to

Subject: Request for CBP to issue Transportation/Boarding Letter to 12-year-old girl from Yemen

Dearl1b11•1. (b11111c1 !
Thank you for speaking with me today.
As I explained, I understand that CBP has the authority to issue Transportation/Boarding letters to individuals
who are abroad. http:!/photos. state. gov/libraries/shanghai/228904/ACS/TLApplicationFormat.pdf
Section 3(g) of the Executive Order provides that the ban on travel may be lifted on a case-by-case basis "whenin the national interest" to do so. CBP guidance issued yesterday also reiterates that there are case-by-case
exceptions available. https ://www. cbp. gov/border-security/protecting-nation-foreign-terrorist-entry-unitedstates
The Q&A says:
What do the two exemptions in the Executive Order mean? How are they applied to individual cases?
DHS and State can review individual cases and grant waivers on a case-by-case basis if that individual's
admission to the United States is deemed to be in the national interest and if they do not pose a national
security threat.

About 1000-1200 protesters are still on site. The G side arrivals exit is the only exit in use. This helps keep theprotestors in one location so they don't disrupt other areas of operation. SFPD has set up barricades and are manningthem to allow international passengers to depart.

Both A and G terminal TSA checkpoints are open and operational.
Flights are processing well. Nothing over 120.

passengers can't safely exit t he international terminal. Swanlaw is waiting to hear what SFPD plan to do clear theareas.
If this continues we may not be able to continue processing passengers. They will be stuck in the FIS.

There are still about 100 protesters outside the Transit Door and about 500 protesters on the Arrivals
Door. Every so often someone will approach and try to gain info as they claim to be a lawyer for clients
inside.
Those people are referred to CHP Public Affairs in DC via the website. No other info is being relayed.
The exit A and G doors are still not being used. Passengers are being sent out the transit door. There
have been no breeches into our AOR.

See you in court, Mr. President.

El131313

Dear Colleagues,
Last night, we, along with our partners at Northwest Immigrant Rights Project andthe National Lawyers Project of the National Lawyers Guild, filed a lawsuit tochallenge the unprecedented executive order banning immigrant visas from seven
Muslim-majority nations. Not only is this order blatantly discriminatory andunlawful, but the implications are severe-mothers are being separated fromchildren, wives from husbands, and workers from U.S. employers. One of theplaintiffs in our lawsuit, a 23-year old U.S. citizen mother, is desperately seeking to
be reunited with her six-year-old son in Somalia. But the executive order means
their separation continues.

We cannot let this stand!
In addition to the lawsuit, we're arming immigration attorneys working on the front
lines to protect individuals impacted by the visa ban. We just issued a practiceadvisory, Challenging President Trump's Ban on Entry, that provides
information about how last Friday's Executive Order is being implemented, offers
resources and practice tips for attorneys whose clients are affected by it, andoutlines legal challenges that have been filed to date. We have also written
extensive analysis of the executive orders on our blog, Immigration Impact.

CBPBATES00014410

EOFOIA0002187 4-00002

The Council is in for a long fight. We will file more lawsuits, and we will use all thelegal tools at our disposal. At the same time, we will continue presenting
information about how integral immigrants are to the fabric of our country, because
everyone is entitled to her own opinion, but not her own facts!

We cannot do this work without your partnership.

Set up a recurring donation!
Donate today to ensure we have the resources we need to stay in the fight.
Thank you,i (b)(G), (b)(?)(C) !
