On Saturday, President Trump files appeal to review the judge’s ruling to stop his immigration freeze executive order. Judge James Robart’s ruling came on Friday. It put an immediate stop to Trump’s executive order, which prevented refugees from seven countries from entering the United States. As soon as this ruling was made, the White House vowed to fight it.
“At the earliest possible time, the Department of Justice intends to file an emergency stay of this outrageous order and defend the executive order of the President, which we believe is lawful and appropriate,” said White House press secretary Sean Spicer announced a written statement Friday night. “The president’s order is intended to protect the homeland and he has the constitutional authority and responsibility to protect the American people.”
Trump also let his feelings be known on Saturday.
What is our country coming to when a judge can halt a Homeland Security travel ban and anyone, even with bad intentions, can come into U.S.?

After that, he followed up with another tweet. This one was to warn people that this ruling could be our country in danger.
Because the ban was lifted by a judge, many very bad and dangerous people may be pouring into our country. A terrible decision

The executive order was signed on January 27th. It temporarily suspends admission of refugees from Syria along with 6 other countries.
