Trump criticized a federal judge for banning the travel ban on the immigrants of seven Muslim countries. He said that the courts are compromising the security of US borders. This would be the first step in his first battle against the legislature.
Trump tweeted and blamed US Judge James Robart and the legal system that banned the executive order. While he didn’t elaborate on the kinds of threats that the country will face because of this law, he asked the security personnel at the borders to check the immigrants more carefully.
Robart was successful in passing a decision that prevented the 90-day ban on all citizens from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Yemen, Sudan, Libya, and Somalia. The decision also prevents the 120-day ban on all refugees. The US appeals court further denied the government’s request to put a stay on the ruling of Judge Robart.
Mike Pence, the Vice president, came out to make a statement on Trump’s criticism of the judiciary. He said that the President of the country had the right to criticize any branch of the government. The US Constitution makes it clearly that the judiciary will have the direct responsibility to check the power of the executive branch of the government.
The Senate has also not approved Trump’s attack on the judges.
