IT APPEARING to the Court from the Emergency Motion for Stay of Removal, the

other submissions, the arguments of counsel, and the hearing held on the 28th of January, 201 7,

Protection guaranteed by the United States Constitution;

2. There is imminent danger that, absent the stay of removal, there will be substantial and
irreparable injury to refugees, visa-holders, and other individuals from nations subject to
the January 2 7, 2017 Executive Order;
3. The issuance of the stay of removal will not injure the other parties interested in the
proceeding;
4. It is appropriate and just that, pending completion of a hearing before the Court on the
merits of the Petition, that the Respondents be enjoined and restrained from the
commission of further acts and misconduct in violation of the Constitution as described
in the Emergency Motion for Stay of Removal.

WHEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the respondents, their officers,
agents, servants, employees, attorneys, and all members and persons acting in concert or
participation with them, from the date of this Order, are

ENJOINED AND RESTRAINED from, in any manner or by any means, removing

authorized to enter the United States.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that to assure compliance with the Court's order, the
Court directs service of this Order upon the United States Marshal for the Eastern District of

necessary to enforce the provisions and prohibitions set forth in this Order.
