Comment - comply with orders from the judges? [Incident: 170202-000052]

Below - see my attempt to ask the Anchorage Customs and Border Protection their actions with respect to the Muslim BAN Executive Order from the president.

You kinda have to read bottom up. In that my email is last and their response is in the middle. I highlights in bold red the real final answer.

“Amendment 1 - Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Dear Ruthi,

Thank you for taking the time to email the Compliments and Complaints Branch (CCB) with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on the President’s Executive Orders on Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States.

On Friday, January 27, 2017, President Trump signed an Executive Order to provide further guidance to The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on enforcing our immigration laws and to suspend entry into the United States certain classes of foreign nationals in order to ensure our immigration system is working in a way that best protects the safety and security of the American public.

The Congress provided the President of the United States, in section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), with the authority to suspend the entry of any class of aliens the President deems detrimental to the national interest. This authority has been exercised by nearly every President since President Carter, and has been a component of immigration laws since the enactment of the INA in 1952.

As we worked to implement this Executive Order, a number of court orders were issued based on lawsuits filed in the wake of the order. Upon issuance of the court orders, CBP immediately began taking steps to comply with the orders and did so with professionalism.

Concurrently, DHS continues to work with our partners in the Departments of Justice and State to implement President Trump’s Executive Order to protect the Nation from foreign terrorist entry into the United States.

We are committed to ensuring that all individuals affected by the Executive Orders, including those affected by the court orders, are being provided all rights afforded under the law. We are also working closely with airline partners to prevent travelers who would not be granted entry under the Executive Orders from boarding international flights to the United States.

We are and will continue enforcing President Trump’s Executive Order humanely and with professionalism. We are and will remain in compliance with judicial orders. DHS will continue to protect the homeland.

We appreciate you taking the time to provide your comments and concerns.

As an American/Alaskan citizen, tax payer, and voter, I just called the Anchorage office of US Customs and Border Protection. I was inquiring if they were following the laws of the US and current court orders with respect to the Muslim BAN Executive Order issued by the president last Friday? Or, were they just “following orders” from the president and continuing to implement the Muslim BAN?

They suggested that I contact you. I repeated to them that I am a citizen and not associated with any media organization. They still referred me to you. So, I ask you the same questions: In Anchorage, Alaska (and throughout the state, really) are they were following the laws of the US and current court orders with respect to the Muslim BAN Executive Order issued by the president last Friday? Or, are they just “following orders” from the president and continuing to implement the Muslim BAN? I continue to follow updates on the impact of this unlawful Muslim BAN Executive Order.
