Four Democrat-ruled states have sued the Trump administration over the US President’s controversial executive order, banning all refugees and citizens of seven Muslim-majority nations from entering the country. The attorneys general of New York, Massachusetts and Virginia announced their lawsuits separately on Tuesday. Washington state was the first to start, launching its case in an announcement on Monday. The order is also being opposed in a dissent note going around the US state department. It had gathered more than 1,000 signatures from personnel serving in the US and in diplomatic missions all around the world.
