  • What Seattle Judge Said About Trump Travel Ban—And What Happens Next
    What Seattle Judge Said About Trump Travel Ban—and What Happens Next By Vanessa Blum The National Law Journal February 5, 2017 U.S. District Judge James Robart of the Western District of Washington Credit: Youtube On Friday, U.S. District Judge James Robart in Seattle entered a temporary restraining order blocking President Donald Trump’s executive order and setting up an accelerated appellate showdown over the sudden suspension of immigration from seven predominantly Muslim nations. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit denied the government’s request for an immediate stay and set an expedited briefing schedule. Lawyers representing the states of Washington and Minnesota, which are challenging the ban, must respond during predawn hours on Monday and the Justice Department must file its reply Monday evening. Here are some key exchanges from the hearing that will shape the court fight ahead. On the motivation for the executive order: Statements that President Trump made during the campaign about banning Muslims from entering the United States may have bearing on the states’ likelihood of prevailing on claims that the executive order impermissibly targets individuals based on religion. At Friday’s hearing, Robart asked Washington Solicitor General Noah Purcell whether the campaign trail promises should be considered. JUDGE JAMES ROBART: It seems to me that it's a bit of a reach to say: The President is clearly anti-Muslim or anti-Islam, based on what he said in New Hampshire in June. NOAH PURCELL: Well, Your Honor, it might go to the weight to give the evidence, I suppose.

Among other provisions, the Immigration Order temporarily suspended the refugee admissions program, blocked the entry of persons from designated Middle Eastern countries, and indefinitely suspended entry of Syrian nationals.2 A number of suits were brought challenging the legality of the action, including one by the State of Washington, which Minnesota later joined.3 In the ten days following Washington’s filing suit to enjoin the Immigration Order, District Judge James Robart issued a nationwide temporary restraining order (“TRO”) against it,4 the Government sought an emergency stay on appeal,5 and the Ninth Circuit handed down a twenty-nine page † J.D., University of Virginia School of Law; B.A. with distinction, University of Virginia. ‡ J.D., University of Virginia School of Law; M.Ed., B.A., University of Notre Dame. 1 No. C17-0141, 2017 WL 462040 (W.D.
