BREAKING: Trump’s New Immigration Order Stands
by Kerry Picket | The Daily Caller
A federal district court denied a request to place an emergency restraining order on President Donald Trump’s modified immigration executive order, an attorney representing states opposing the order told Reuters Friday night.
The initial executive order posted by the Trump administration — which restricted travel from seven countries with majority Muslim populations — last January was challenged by lawyers in states such as Washington and Minnesota.
Seattle U.S. District Court Judge James Robart issued a temporary restraining order against the initial policy last month.
The new order narrowed the travel restriction down to six countries and would give exception to green card holders among other changes. According to Reuters, Robart did not apply his restraining order to the new immigration order.
