Yemenis Bound for US, Stranded in Djibouti

(2 Feb 2017) A Los Angeles-based immigration lawyer is trying to arrange flights and get hold of passports of dozens of Yemeni citizens who have immigrant visas and are stranded in the tiny African nation of Djibouti because of President Donald Trump's executive order that is temporarily suspending immigration from seven majority-Muslim countries, including Yemen. Goldberg has obtained a court order dated Tuesday from the US District Court in California's central district instructing the US government not to enforce Trump's executive order. She is now seeking an airline that will comply with it. In a temporary restraining order issued late on Tuesday, Judge Andre Birotte Jr. ordered the government not to cancel any validly obtained immigrant visas or bar anyone from the seven nations holding them from entering the US. Goldberg is emphasizing that those stranded are not refugees, though Yemen is engulfed in civil war. They received visas last week, she said. But it was unclear whether the order will have any effect. The State Department ordered all visas from the seven countries revoked on Friday, and the government has maintained that orders similar to Birotte's do not apply because the visas are no longer valid. The US Embassy in Djibouti has posted an urgent notice online telling people, including those with dual nationalities, from the countries affected - Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen - not to schedule visa appointments or even attend existing visa appointments.
