A judge has blocked the federal government from deporting citizens of seven countries who were detained at U.S. airports over the past day or so as a result of an executive order President Donald Trump issued Friday.

Advocates said 100-200 travelers from those Muslim-majority countries were being held at various around the U.S. as a result of Trump's order, which was billed as an anti-terrorism measure. The detentions sparked protests outside at many international airports, including JFK Airport in New York and Dulles Airport outside Washington.

U.S. District Court Judge Ann Donnelly issued the order over the government's objection following an emergency hearing in Brooklyn, N.Y. Saturday night. She acted on a legal challenge filed by several immigrant rights' groups.

The judge's order does not require the immediate release of anyone being kept in custody after arrival into the U.S., but bars immigration officials from deporting those individuals, at least for now.
