while you get the chance to respond to the trigger, removing its source won't stop it. Also, a normal counterspell like cancel  won't be able to stop it either. you need something like stifle  which explicitly can counter abilities. you can also make the targets illegal somehow so the trigger cannot affect them anymore.
I'm a Rules Advisor now  "Simple questions" usually need rather complex answers, while complex questions often come down to no more than a simple "yes" or "no". Some of my favorite Flavor texts:

Please autocard. [c ]Archon of the Triumvirate[/c] ⇒ Archon of the Triumvirate  Creating a Rules ThreadThey autmatically get to detain the two creatures, even if the Archon is removed  from the battlefield before it resolves, as long as the creatures still exist when the Archon's ability resolves. Something like Cloudshift  makes a creature cease to exist while creating a similar but brand new creature. You cannot counter  a permanent, but you could counter its ability with an appropriate  spell.

Your last chance to use unsummon to stop the detains in the begining of combat step.

Why would you place the entire question in the thread title?

It's what the system does when the OP forgets to give a title.
