Trump pushes back via Twitter on judge's temporary hold on refugee ban

Updated

WASHINGTON, Feb 4 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump vowed to overturn a Seattle judge's blocking of his executive order to keep refugees and travelers from seven countries out of the United States on Saturday.

"The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned," Trump said on Twitter.
