The latest in this never-ending saga.
There was big news Stateside in the early hours of this morning after a federal judge in Seattle ordered a temporary halt on Donald Trump's Executive Order on Immigration or the 'muslim ban' as its more commonly known.
Judge James Robart granted a restraining order after hearing arguments from Washington state and Minnesota that Trump's order had "unlawfully discriminated against Muslims and caused unreasonable harm."
Airlines are now allowing passengers from the seven countries that had been banned to board planes to the US, and the state department is re-validating visas that had been revoked.
Trump presumably got a call to the White House earlier today to inform him of the news and he took to Twitter to vent his frustrations.

He then had another go at the New York Times.

Then he shouted this out.

According to
The Telegraph, this is what happens next.
"The department of justice will have to convince a federal court that Mr Trump was within his authority to issue the ban, and that the order blocking it should be overturned. If the department obtains the emergency stay on Mr Robert’s ruling, the order will go back into effect and the visas that have been approved, rescinded and now reissued will be invalidated once more."
We'll wait and see.
