Temporary Restraining Order Halts President's Travel Ban and Refugee Program Limits, Appeal Initiated by Administration | Practical Law
In State of Washington v. Trump, a US district court judge in the Western District of Washington granted a temporary restraining order (TRO) blocking enforcement of key aspects of President Donald Trump's Executive Order "Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into the United States" issued on January 27, 2017. The Administration has filed an emergency motion for a stay of the TRO pending the government's appeal with the US Court of Appeal for the Ninth Circuit, on which oral argument will take place February 7, 2017.
