President Trumps First Defeat
The immigration order creates an international messand a political

It's working out very nicely, President Donald Trump said on Saturday
afternoon as he signed his latest batch of executive actions. You see it
in the airports.
.
It was the usual confident swagger from a man accustomed to getting his
way. But by then, a revolt against the presidents immigration order was
already brewing, led by refugee rights groups, the American Civil
Liberties Union, Democrats and liberals on social media, who had woken up
to reports suggesting it was not working out very nicely at all. By 7:30
in the evening, protests at major airports across the United States had
swollen, a federal judge was hearing a legal challenge, and cable news
networkswith one notable exceptionwere covering the stunning events live.
Passions ran so high that New Yorkers, many joked, were actually
volunteering to go to JFK Airport to show solidarity with those detained
by bewildered immigration officials.
.
Was this what Trump had in mind? His executive order temporarily barring
citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United
States had been in effect for only about 24 hours, and it was already
facing severe blowback. The hastily crafted order, which sent shock waves
of confusion across the U.S. government and was temporarily and partially
blocked by U.S. District Court Judge Ann Donnelly, caught thousands of
Muslim travelers unawares, separating family members from one another and
stranding many in legal limbo.
.
Now, what was meant as a bold assertion of presidential prerogative and a
down payment on Trump's promise to eradicate radical Islamic terrorism
from the face of the Earth has dealt the president his first political
defeat and energized his opponents after a week of demoralizing
developments. And it has sharpened divisions between those Americans
willing to take extreme measures to prevent the possibility of future
attacksand those who view such steps as abhorrent and misguided.
.
On the left, the outrage exploded immediately. Civil liberties groups,
Democratic governors and members of Congress denounced Trumps executive
order as an unconscionable attack on American values. Washington Gov. Jay
Inslee called it cruelty; Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said there
were tears running down the cheeks of the Statue of Liberty; even Hillary
Clinton, last seen enduring Trumps inauguration, emerged from mourning to
tweet, I stand with the people gathered across the country tonight
defending our values & our Constitution. This is not who we are.

One of the first people detained, Hameed Khalid Darweesh, was an Iraqi
interpreter who served the U.S. military for over a decade. (What I do for
this country? They put the cuffs on, a tearful Darweesh told reporters at
JFK after his release.) One Iranian woman barred from the United States,
Samira Asgari, was coming to Harvard Medical School to work on a cure for
tuberculosis. (I was pretty excited to join @soumya_boston's lab but
denied boarding due to my Iranian nationality, she tweeted. Feeling
safer?) The media was flooded all day with tales of shocked families
finding themselves locked out of the United States; if any of them were
terrorists, they were awfully well-disguised.
.

.
Internationally, the fallout may just be beginning. British Prime Minister
Theresa May, fresh off a chummy visit with Trump, criticized it. Iran
threatened to retaliate by barring Americans. Iraq, in which the United
States still has some 7,000 troops and 2,000 contractors sent to fight
ISIS, suggested it might kick them out. Social media accounts linked to
the Islamic State were gleefully posting news stories about the ban with
little commentary.
.
The fact that the order was announced on Holocaust Remembrance Day may
have been a coincidence, but it was certainly a public relations blunder.
A Twitter account methodically posting the names of Jews refused asylum in
the United States and later killed in the Holocaust was retweeted
thousands of times on Friday, blending into peoples timelines with news
about the immigration crackdown, adding to the sense of outrage among
Trumps critics.
