The Justice Department had filed court papers hours earlier seeking an immediate reversal of a ruling Friday against the executive order by U.S. District Judge James Robart of Seattle. In response to Friday’s court order, the U.S. Departments of State and Homeland Security said Saturday they had stopped enforcing Mr. Trump’s executive order. If the appeals court rules for Mr. Trump’s administration, they likely would resume enforcing it. Mr. Trump lashed out Saturday at Judge Robart, calling him a “so-called judge,” and vowed to fight the ruling.
