Sadly, this is my understanding of the state of affairs at this moment. The Massachusetts injunction early Sunday morning seemed to me to unambiguously permit the landing of IV and NIV holders at Logan, but my understanding is that either CBP is disregarding that ruling or ICTS/IAP et al have enough doubts about its validity that they are disregarding it for whatever reason. Maybe everyone is just waiting for Timatic or some other third party to validate it?

If I were a billionaire, or indeed simply very rich, I'd seriously consider chartering a jet full of refugees (and invite a few journalists along for the ride) to one of the general aviation airports served by CBP on Massachusetts soil right now.
