Former US president Barack Obama's half-brother Malik Obama, has supported the new president Donald Trump, for ordering a 90-days entry ban on citizens of seven Muslim-majority nations.
Malik took a swipe on the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which filed a class action lawsuit against the ban, saying it acted without 'thinking'.
A federal judge blocked part of Trump's executive order on immigration, ruling that travellers who have already landed in the US with valid visas should not be sent back to their home countries, as Trump ordered.
Malik likened the immigrants to terrorists, saying Trump ordered their ban due to terrorism. According to him, they would strike, and all persons opposed to Trump's order, would run to him for help.
"They've taken President DJT (Donald John Trump) to court on matters 'immigration'. It's ok. Wait until those terrorists strike, they'll run back to him for help!'' Malik said on Twitter.
He further added that the ban was meant to protect the Americans because America loves its people
''We don't lock our doors before bed because we hate people outside. We lock them because we love the people inside'' he said.
Earlier on Saturday, Trump defended his immigration rules, which prompted outrage as immigrants were barred from entering US with families of refugees, Ivy League University students being among the victims.
The Republican president succeeded Kenyan-American Obama, January 20, after defeating Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton in November 2016.
