Federal judge in Seattle halts Trump's immigration order
 [Seattle Times] A federal judge in Seattle has ordered a halt to enforcement of President Trump’s controversial travel ban on citizens from seven predominantly Muslim nations.U.S. District Judge James Robart at a court hearing Friday ruled in favor of Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson, who filed a lawsuit to invalidate key provisions of Trump’s executive order. The order indefinitely blocks entry to the United States for Syrian refugees and temporarily suspends entry to citizens of seven majority-Muslim countries. The temporary restraining order is granted on a nationwide basis, Robart said. Ferguson, a Democrat, filed the lawsuit Jan. 30, three days after Trump signed the executive order.
