Adam Klasfeld, Courthouse News, Aug. 31, 2017 - "With Supreme Court arguments heating up for October, President Donald Trump waved a white flag Thursday on the original lawsuit that sparked a nationwide rebellion to his ban on travelers from Muslim-majority nations.
The settlement released Thursday ends wrangling over the case of Iraq War interpreter Hameed Darweesh, who had been held for 17 hours at New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport after Trump issued his original order on Jan. 28.
Spearheaded by the American Civil Liberties Union, Darweesh’s opposition to the ban inspired a tsunami of litigation in Virginia, Massachusetts, California, Michigan, Oregon, Georgia, Hawaii, Washington, and elsewhere.
The Supreme Court agreed to decide the constitutionality of Trump’s revised order this fall, and Thursday’s settlement ensures that travelers like Darweesh know of their right to reapply for entry to the United States with groups eager to provide free legal counsel.
Darweesh expressed relief to have resolved the litigation."
