white house and department of justice. are there any protections, jess cake, for people who essentially does what they did last weekend. they get on a plane, they have valid visas. midflight, there is potentially a stay of judge robart s temporary restraining order, and by the time they get on the ground, they re banned again. what protections, if any, are there for those people? well, if you are detained by the government and your freedom is restricted, you have the ability to file a habeas corpus petition challenging your constitution violations. the right to have a court be involved in the process, to make sure you are really properly being protected. and that your rights aren t being violated unlawfully. ultimately, there are protections in place if you have the ability to enter the united states. and you have a right and approved entrance into the united states.
