A three-judge panel heard arguments from lawyers for the Trump administration and the states of Washington and Minnesota, which challenged Trump’s executive order. A ruling in State of Washington & State of Minnesota vs. Trump, Case #17-35105, was not expected immediately, but probably will come later this week. Instead, the panel will determine only whether the court order against enforcement of the ban should continue until the complex legal debate over executive power and due process is resolved. Judge Robart went a step further, and also found that the states were likely to succeed in their challenge. Once the legality of the hold is resolved, the case would return to Judge Robart in Seattle.
