I never said there was any universal right to entry/immigration. We have procedures for entry. People (including those from the 7 named countries) have been following those procedures. We're talking about people who are following the rules here, not those sneaking across the border.
The D
J has been asked by the relevant courts to document security concerns associated with the current rules and vetting process. The DOJ has been asked to provide some evidence for why the well established procedures were suddenly not good. The courts wanted to use the evidence to address the EO issues before them.
Despite numerous opportunities and numerous requests, the DOJ has chosen not to provide ANY evidence. As the DOJ and those in the White House have discovered, "Because I say so!" does not make for a winning argument in court.
