Here's the full text. It require the Marshalls Service to enforce the stay -- and it applies nationwide.

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 New York, and further directs the United States Marshals Service to take those actions deemed necessary to enforce the provisions and prohibitions set forth in this Order.

The ruling is immediate and applies nationwide. Attorneys are reportedly working pro bono through the weekend on behalf of detainees impacted by the order, which Trump signed on Friday evening. Between 100 and 200 people are affected, according to a New York Times estimate.

5. Yeah, but at the Federal level, the Marshalls Service

is only going to enforce that Order via the compliance of the Executive Branch. Its why Karl Rove never testified in front of Congress; Congress (as well as the Court) can issue all the Orders they want, and President Jr. decided 'you know what, Karl? I'm not gonna enforce that order to appear, so don't worry about it.'

Constitutionally neither the Courts nor Congress can enforce or compell a damn thing, because carrying out those Orders are the jurisdiction of the Executive Branch. That having been said--

I'm no fan of Chief Justice John Roberts. But I do sincerley believe that he has quite a bit of respect for the Court as an integral and Institutional mechanism of co-equal government, redress of grievances, etc. And I therefore highly doubt that John Roberts is about to lose a pissing contest IN HIS OWN HOUSE to Donald fucking Trump, President or not...no matter how many hookers the man-child might seek to hire to defend him. Weve empowered The Leviathan to swing a pretty big damn hammer on our behalf in this country. The arguments for actually swinging it are the entirety of what the Court is designed to do.

So have fun with that, 'Mr. President'.

Trump's Hired Thugs are there - inside the ring of the Secret Service - to make sure no one ever serves him a summons, or otherwise impedes his DICTATORIAL AUTHORITY (IKGOPR*)

...and a slimey fear-based strategy of an anti-American corporate fascist draft dodger.

Why do the Republicans and their Fearfilled Chickenhawk Leader hate America's courageous protectors, the Secret Service?

Sad.
