I wonder how much of the ambiguity is incompetence and how much is willful?

This administration would be far from the first government to deliberately play dumb, issue contradictory statements, and otherwise sow confusion to keep any potential opposition scattered and on the defensive. Of course it could all just be a really sloppy transition.

I'm going to assume the last paragraph in the statement is controlling and they will comply (even though we are getting reports of some DHS offices ignoring the stay). But what if they don't?

Refusal to follow court orders will be the end of the United States. Once you break that seal everything falls apart. We have appeals for a reason. Congress has the power to change the law (thus overriding the courts) for a reason.
This is also something some of us warned you Trump supporters about and you ignored it or laughed it off.

If you think Steve Bannon (new de-facto head of the National Security Council) gives two shits about the rule of law I've got a bridge to sell you. We already know Trump doesn't give a crap when he started bashing the US citizen judge presiding over his Trump University case by saying he wasn't qualified to judge the case because he was "Mexican". It's a trivial step to declare Congress invalid and establish "temporary emergency measures".

Even if you agree with Trump and support him you should understand how refusal to follow our legal process is a direct threat to everyone... a far greater long-term threat than letting 10,000 terrorists into the country. We can rebuild buildings. We cannot so easily rebuild a functioning democracy.

If you think the FBI or police agencies would step in to stop Trump from declaring himself dictator you are sadly mistaken.

I hope this is just incompetence. If it isn't then the day is coming soon when every one of us must pick a side and take direct action. Fortunately I don't expect that to happen, but the chances have moved up "impossible".
The point of the article is clearly to show they're not complying with the court order.
It depends on the ideology of the reader its trying to reassure.
First I acknowledge I don't know what I'm talking about. But.

It seems to me the last and the first paragraph are saying different things.

How can DHS be implementing ALL of the executive action, when part of it has been stayed by the court?

Assuming this statement is, as it says, a response to the litigation (i.e. the challenge which led the court to stay part of the executive action), I don't see how you can read that first paragraph as anything but a denial that they will abide by the partial stay.

Is there any evidence to suggest that they are following the court order and not enforcing that part of the action? The (admittedly hopelessly unreliable) twittering from human rights lawyers involved, seems to suggest they are not.

That last paragraph reads like a tack on to me.

But we're all trying to parse the words and I suspect the statement will be irrelevant, and what happens on the ground will decide how this goes forwards.
I'm seeing numbers like 320 minutes, 5.3 hours. Of course that's only enough halve it, not clear it completely. Leaving the house for "a few hours a day" sounds like dangerous advice to me.

"a decent shove opened the door"
The language is obviously chosen to minimize (and trivialize) the number of people. If it were 1600 people, don't you think they would say less than 0.5%? If it were 3 people, don't you think they would say that?

Anyway, read it however you like. I choose to read it as the maximum number of people that could fit within their language, because I think it was written to be purposefully ambiguous.
That's some grade-A doublespeak right there. Are they going to follow the courts' orders or not?
Yep, kinda makes you wonder what the hell they've been doing up until now...
The Human Toll of Protecting the Internet from the Worst of Humanity
And even more fun, Yoga share a lot of philosophical roots with Samkhya, a school of Hinduism that doesn't exist anymore. Samkhya came about at the same time as Buddhism and is also atheist, or at least doesn't concern itself with god, much like Buddhism.

Yoga, however, brought god back into the mix, and these days, when taught in India, it's mostly done in the tradition of Advaita Vedanta school, which is the vast majority of hindus.

Advaita means "indivisible", i.e. god, the world, and everything is one thing, but the very few texts of yoga that has survived, clearly show it was a dualist philosophy separating prakrti (matter) and purusha (consciousness).

That did, in fact, include hyperbole.

You are excited and over estimating the danger, and misstating facts such as his legitimacy. Those kind of things will cloud the discussion and prevent support from the kind of groups you need to defeat him.

The smart move would be to collect information and watch him fail, then move for impeachment. Then start dealing with Pence.....
That doesn't really seem to say much. The stay was only for in-transit passengers, it said naught about denying boarding. And the statement said they'll comply with court orders.

As much as I detest what's happening - what else would they say?

The tone of the release isn't neutral though.

Phrases like "first step" are anticipating stronger measures to come. The introduction makes it clear that the agency believes that these measures will in fact reduce security. I don't have enough information to refute that claim, but I don't believe it either.

As an outsider to the USA, I would have liked to have seen more balance. For instance, it would have been reassuring to hear that DHS had taken legal advice on its obligations and how best to implement them without rushing in.

I suspect that the release is written for individuals near to Cabinet who want to know that officials are complying without question. Does not bode well.
Same with Jenga. Half the reason the people I've played with lose is due to the sheer tension.

Excellent news on an otherwise pretty terrible day.

Brian Chesky and the entire Airbnb team are showing America at its very best: forward-looking, innovative, diverse, multicultural and. The contrast with the Trump-type people -- primarily angry, insular, bitter old people who are terrified of brown people and still live within 10 minutes of their high school -- could not be more striking.
Trump is an asshole however he is our legitimate president no mater how much some of us do not like it. He won the election as the rules require. Period. Let's not forget that. The office should be respected no matter what asswipe he is in it. If you disagree with his policies then call your congressman, et. al. Protest by all means. That is your right as an American. He was elected because a large majority of people in individual states did not follow thought with their duty to vote pure and simple. Let's make sure that those voices are heard and we do not make this same mistake in 4 years. The man scares the hell out of me but I am not going to say he is not the ligitimate president because he won and I do not like him. It is our duty to protest and make our voice heard if we disagree. It would have been great if we did the before the election but your fellow Americans did not and we have to live with that. Please do not give me any bulsshit about the popular vote because that is not they way the rules work. If you do not like that then do something about it. He, president trump is the president no matter how much it sucks.
> Kalanick legitimizes policies of hate by joining the group.

I think that just as nonsensical as Trump's opinion of Muslims. Just because Islamic societies are always oppressive does not mean we can treat every Muslim individuals as a threat. Similarly people working with Trump do not automatically get the blame.

Different people might have had different reasons to support or vote Trump. What you say is the exact same intolerance but in different direction.

We can only hope that people like Peter Thiel can put sense into the moron.

What most people miss about CO detectors is that they don't go off until CO levels have been elevated for a while. At low concentrations it can take multiple hours to trigger the alarm; at higher concentrations it can take 30 minutes. Even at dangerous concentrations it can still take 5 minutes to sound the alarm. So you can hold your detector in front of an exhaust pipe for a minute and it won't go off, but stick it inside an upturned pot with a candle inside and it will definitely go off eventually.

The reason for this is to prevent common false alarms like CO emitted due to cooking or smoking.

Sounds like a puff piece by the Trump DHS to appear tough while adding a tiny line > The Department of Homeland Security will comply with judicial orders
There's no obligation. Just a choice to make about with whom one holds solidarity. The taxi drivers made a choice and so did Uber.
IANAL but the injunction was narrow in scope. Nothing in the DHS response contradicts that.
Disregarding the system of checks and balances means he's not acting within the system of government. This is a constitutional crisis.
The injunction was only about travelers in flight or already landed. Most of those have been released. The statement says "in a foreign land" and "without ties to the United States" - which is outside of what the injunction applies to.
One rule the courts generally follow is that they try to limit the scope of their rulings. Plus, of course, the country is divided into several federal districts, and a ruling in one district doesn't necessarily apply to other districts. So I understood the injunction out of a San Francisco courtroom only applied to particular travelers whom, via the ACLU, had filed a challenge to how the order was applied to them. The injunction does not apply to other travelers, other federal districts, or people who are affected by the order for other reasons.

I understand the DHS statement to simply amount to "we aren't lawyers, so until a judge rules on whether the entire order is constitutional, we have to assume it is and act accordingly. We have lawyers on staff who will tell us how other rulings affect our actions, and how far those rulings go."

It's important to remember that executive orders are legally binding on people who work for the president, but not anyone else. Usually, they say how an ambiguous law will be interpreted, or they add limitations on top of what the law requires.

In this case, the president has directed various people to take certain actions. The courts will have to determine if those actions are legal. It wouldn't surprise me if some actions are legal (cabinet members are supposed to review the policies for the refugee program) and others aren't (prioritize immigrants based on their religion). But DHS doesn't get to conduct its own review of the order; they have to assume the whole thing is legally binding.

If multiple federal courts start granting injunctions against particular parts of the order, then things might change. I'm not sure how that works; although I am sure that government-paid lawyers will conduct their own review of the order, and I strongly suspect that the president has to approve any decisions to not implement a portion of an executive order.
Averaged across 2 terms, Obama issued the fewest executive orders of any US President since Grover Cleveland. (Assuming I didn’t miscount; data here http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/data/orders.php)
Yep, I had to fix a 14.04 server like that last week. /boot filled with old kernels and apt was falling. I had to manually fix that.

I also don't have swap on my laptop (16 GB RAM and SSD) and I rarely hit 10 GB of used space. With no swap I mean no swap partition. I'm getting those out of memory errors in Opera tabs since the new kernel. Luckily my primary browser (FF) is fine. I guess it's trying to swap Opera out even if there is no swap. I'll reboot with the older kernel and see what happens.
And his point is that the president doesn't have the right to override judicial ruling? He's a president, not an emperor.
The Democratic party needs new leaders. Trump was voted for because he is not Clinton and promised to undo what Obama had done.

Obama promised but didn't keep the promises to help the poor, shelter the homeless, fix city or state issues like the Flint lead water crisis going on since 2014 and the water is still undrinkable.

Look they got record numbers in BLM and women march protests if they can organize large groups of people like that and go out to vote in two years they can make Congress a Democrat majority again.

Trump won on many factors, but the big reason was that people for Hillary did not even go out and vote. So find a way to get more Democrat supporters to go out and vote and make a difference.

The parent is not saying Trump is not the legitimate president. He's saying that the US government has three branches (congress, executive, judiciary) which provide checks and balances and Trump is ordering an executive agency to ignore that, and the agency is following this order. Characterizing this as a coup is not totally inaccurate.
Literally not a single terrorist attack has been committed on US soil by individuals from the affected countries in the last 42 years.
Looking at paper like this, I can't help to think about PDP. Will we be able to confirm Parallel distributed processing (PDP) theory in the near future?
100% agreed. Trump was elected fair and square, citizens still have recourse through official channels, and the American experiment will continue. I don't agree with most of his policies but these are facts.

To some extent it appears that the American public enjoys working itself into a hysteric frenzy. One might almost view it as political virtue signalling on a national scale.

It is not absolutely not hyperbole. And, based on your username, I will venture a guess that you are privileged white male who is fortunate enough to not (for now) be among Drumpf's scapegoats.

I challenge you to speak to some of the thousands of Muslims, refugees, undocumented migrants and others whose very existence is threatened by this fascist "President" and see if they think I'm engaging in hyperbole.

Well, Commonwealth citizens have a head of state who:

> Requests and requires ... all those whom it may concern to allow the bearer to pass freely without let or hindrance, and to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary.

:) - I'm sort of joking of course, nothing wrong with the DHS quote, it's just unfortunate (to put it lightly) for those who have been there and are suddenly... well, fettered.
As I understand it, your parent is (if verbosely) pointing out the use of the phrase our illegitimate "President", and points out that we can and should be protesting. These points aren't in contradiction of yours. Indeed, depending on the outcome of everything surrounding this Executive Order, your point as well as those of your parent may all well be true.

> put aside petty partisan bickering and remove this fascist con-man from office immediately.

All I see is the fascist partisan bickering in your post. Trump has legitimately won the election and is doing what his powers let him do. He was clear about Muslim ban before election too and people voted for him.

I think we can make better arguments as to why his moronic executive orders hurt USA in a major way and perhaps work to gather political support to reduce the damage but getting angry and abusive does not help.
There is no final court order yet, there is a temporary stay and this order merely prohibits deportation, not the detention or turning away of immigrants coming in. This order is just one small step in what is going to be a long hard case.

It'll probably end up going to the Supreme court, the Supreme court has two Obama appointees and with justice Scalia passed away there is a chance it could go in the ACLU's favor. . . but established constitutional law is clear, the Supreme court has ruled time and time again that America can turn away anyone at the boarder and non-citizens do not have a right to stay in America . . . so defeating this executive order at the Supreme court level will require some doing, which might happen because of the current composition of the court has judges that are willing to veer away from established precedent.
worst part is how disingenuous it is. it's not that they want believe some point but simply want to discredit opposition.
The very first line implies that the injunction will be ignored. If they didn't want that interpreted that way, then they should have definitely written it differently.
The parent is not saying Trump is not the legitimate president

Actually, the parent does explicitly say this:

our illegitimate "President"
Can you point me to the sentence that says they're ignoring the court order?

Yes, the first one.

The Department of Homeland Security will continue to enforce all of President Trump’s Executive Orders...

The whole thing is self-contradictory. They cannot enforce all the executive orders while complying with all judicial orders. Your reading of it is one reading, don't pretend like it's the only reasonable reading. In fact, it's notable that the sentence you're picking out,"

The Department of Homeland Security will comply with judicial orders

does not say they will comply with all judicial orders. So, you want to revise how "pretty clear" it seems to you?
If the executive decides to ignore the courts, the ball passes to the Senate. If the Senate chooses to ignore the situation, then yes, we're pretty much screwed.
Nonexistence of time is a fundamental principle, which helps to prune out lots of nonsensical dogmatic hipster's pseudo-science.

If it were 3 people, they probably would, but it's not 3 people. But it's not likely they even know how many people are affected right now, given the situation changes all the time, so they used very vague description. It is not a description one can derive any specific number from, only upper bound.

Don't count on Congressional Republicans to fix this. They've used coded bigotry since 1968. And now it's become uncoded. But either way always consistently there is the bigotry.

Now maybe some Republicans finally have an OMFG moment and can now actually hear the dirty dog whistle, and will revaluate. But for Pence, Ryan, McConnell, it's too late.

We keep failing each test. We couldn't flick them off at the primary. And then not at the general. At each step it gets harder and harder to fix, by design.

"...in which our illegitimate "President" is overriding the authority of the judicial branch..."

The subject is 'President' and the adjective is 'illegitimate'. If the parent meant that Trump's actions are not legally sound, then they would have written:

"...in which our "President" is illegitimately overriding the authority of the judicial branch..."
