Trump responds to federal judge halt to his Muslim ban, vows to overturn judge's opinion

Newly elected US President Donald Trump responded Saturday evening to a federal judge in Seattle issued a temporary halt to his ban that prohibits citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US.

"The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be oveturned," wrote Trump on his Twitter account.

The Seattle judge's order essentially puts a nationwide block on Trump's executive order.
