washington - The US Customs Service has told airlines Friday (local time) that they again take on board the victims of the travel ban imposed by President Donald Trump. Around 21:00 pm (local time) were told the companies that they can proceed in the same way as for the travel ban. That made an anonymous employee of a US airline known.

Residents of Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Syria who have a valid US visa, can again travel to the US. The notification of the customs came just hours after a federal judge in Seattle admission for residents of the seven Muslim countries had been temporarily suspended. He made it clear that since last week the current restrictions on access to the US could be lifted immediately. Which immigration restrictions were the result of a presidential decree signed last week by Trump.

In a first reaction the White House called the verdict 'scandalous', but said that word in a second, similar explanation. The Ministry of Justice will be in a court filing an urgent application to prevent the entry ban is actually suspended.

The case against the decree brought by the State of Washington and later got support from Minnesota. The judge in Seattle made clear that states have the right to challenge this kind of federal measures. 'Nobody is above the law, even the president,' said Bob Ferguson, prosecutor for the state of Washington.

Estimates of the number of visas has been withdrawn since the entry ban Trump promulgated vary. The Washington Post revealed Friday that it would be more than a hundred thousand visas. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs concerns around sixty thousand visas.
