David Leopold on the Injunction Issued by a Federal Judge in Washington State

Immigration Attorney David Leopold updates you on the injunction issued tonight by a federal judge in Washington State blocking Trump’s immigration Executive Order.

UPDATE: The White House vowed to seek a stay of the Judge’s order in the following statement after the conclusion of this Facebook Live Update:

“Statement by the Press Secretary
At the earliest possible time, the Department of Justice intends to file an emergency stay of this order and defend the executive order of the President, which we believe is lawful and appropriate. The president’s order is intended to protect the homeland and he has the constitutional authority and responsibility to protect the American people.

As the law states, “Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”
