The DOJ had filed an official appeal on Saturday night over a federal court ruling issued late Friday in Washington state by US District Court Judge James Robart. It was Robart’s ruling, which included a temporary restraining order, that led both the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security on Saturday morning to halt their enforcement of the ban.

Meanwhile, immigration experts and refugeee advocates, celebrated the court’s ability to push back against the ban they argue is unconstitutional.
