SEATTLE/BOSTON - A federal judge in Seattle on Friday granted a nationwide temporary restraining order blocking U.S. President Donald Trump's recent action barring nationals from seven countries from entering the United States.
The judge's order represents a major challenge to the Trump administration, which is expected to immediately appeal. The judge declined to stay the order, suggesting that travel restrictions could be lifted immediately.
The challenge was brought by the state of Washington and later joined by the state of Minnesota. The Seattle judge ruled that the states have legal standing to sue, which could help Democratic attorneys general take on Trump in court on issues beyond immigration.
"It's a wonderful day for the rule of law in this country," said Washington state solicitor general Noah Purcell.
The decision came on a day that attorneys from four states were in courts challenging Trump's executive order. Trump's administration justified the action on national security grounds, but opponents labeled it an unconstitutional order targeting people based on religious beliefs.
Earlier on Friday, a federal judge in Boston on Friday declined to extend a temporary restraining order that allowed some immigrants into the United States from certain countries despite being barred by U.S. President Donald Trump's recent executive order.
Also on Friday in Virginia, a federal judge ordered the White House to provide a list of all people stopped from entering the United States by the travel ban.
The State Department said on Friday that fewer than 60,000 visas previously issued to citizens of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen had been invalidated as a result of the order. That disclosure followed media reports that government lawyers were citing a figure of 100,000.

Thank you GW!!!
Hopefully he thinks like you in this case. I don’t expect him to roll over. They always do this on the weekend.
Stash them ALL in Gitmo until they are throughly vetted!!!!
Correct! Also, not one judge has ruled on constitutional grounds.
Re portrait: yes, believe I read recently that it was reinstalled somewhere in the WH.
If ANYONE gets KILLED by anybody let in because of this judge, he should be buried with the body.
Having skimmed the state’s motion for a temporary restraining order, it seems to me that this order has to be based on constitutional grounds, as that is essentially all the state argued.

Makes one wonder what oath these liberal judges took to become judges.

How can a judge just overrule an executive order?
And who is this idiot judge?
Funny,[/sarc] as I skimmed it, I saw no reference to the actual law.
“Shows what these elitist, power hungry judges think of the will of the people.”

We need Jeff Sessions to be our AG to teach some basic law to these judges and their ilk.
The USA HAS BEEN COMPROMISED.
