Trump's travel ban causes uproar and legal battles

Trump’s executive order barring entry to nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries was issued on January 27, just one week after Donald Trump took office. Three days later, the states of Washington and Minnesota challenged the federal government, saying the executive order was unconstitutional. On February 3, federal district judge James Robart issued a temporary restraining order nationwide in Seattle. The Department of Justice challenged the ruling at the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals, but the appeals court upheld the suspension. Trump took to Twitter to respond to the court's decision, saying "See you in court".
