Attorney General Bob Ferguson Obtains Court Order to Halt Implementation of Trump’s Order

Today, Washington became the first state to challenge the President’s order. Attorney General Bob Ferguson argued before Judge Robert that the Executive Order violates not only the U.S. Constitution but also the federal Immigration and Nationality Act. Behind Ferguson stood a lot of other institutions affected by the consequences of the implementation of the order.

Other states such as Minnesota, Massachusetts, New York and Virginia challenged the order.

Judge Robart, who was nominated to the court by President George W. Bush in 2003, ruled that Ferguson had met the high standards necessary to block the Executive Order until the court reaches the merits of the lawsuit.

“No one is above the law — not even the President.” – Attorney General Bob Ferguson
