US President Donald Trump tweeted "SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!" shortly after a US federal appeals court unanimously upheld a temporary suspension of his order restricting travel from seven Muslim‑majority countries.
Today's ruling came in a challenge to Trump's order filed by the states of Washington and Minnesota — the Justice Department said it was reviewing the decision and considering its options.
Trump's January 27 executive order barred entry for citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for 90 days and imposed a 120‑day halt on all refugees, except refugees from Syria who are barred indefinitely.
But last Friday, US District Judge James Robart suspended Trump's executive order.
The ruling —which follows a hearing on the case on Tuesday — does not resolve the lawsuit, but relates instead to whether Trump's order should be suspended while litigation proceeds.
