State Dept. Reverses Visa Revocations, Allows Banned Travelers To Enter U.S

The State Department says previously banned travelers will be allowed to enter the United States after a federal judge in Washington state on Friday temporarily blocked enforcement of President Trump's controversial immigration ban.
"We have reversed the provisional revocation of visas under" Trump's executive order, a State Department spokesperson said Saturday. "Those individuals with visas that were not physically canceled may now travel if the visa is otherwise valid."
Department of Homeland Security personnel "will resume inspection of travelers in accordance with standard policy and procedure."
The new measures continue what has been a chaotic rollout of Trump's order just more than a week ago that installed a temporary ban on entry by citizens of seven majority-Muslim countries as well as refugees.
U.S. District Judge James L. Robart on Friday entered a temporary but nationwide stop to the order, saying he concluded the court "must intervene to fulfill its constitutional role in our tripart government."
