President Donald Trump’s order halting immigration from seven predominantly Muslim nations was curbed by a Boston federal judge, who directed customs officials at the city’s Logan International Airport to allow passengers from those countries with valid visas to deplane there and go on their way.
“Customs and Border Protection shall notify airlines that flights arriving at Logan Airport of this order and the fact that individuals on these flights will not be detained or returned based solely on the basis of the executive order,” U.S. District Judge Allison D. Burroughs said in a ruling signed by her earlier today and co-signed by U.S. Magistrate Judge Judith Gail Dein.
