President Donald Trump on Saturday morning took to Twitter to blast a federal judge's decision to halt his immigration order nationwide.
"The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!" he tweeted.
Federal Judge James Robart, a George W. Bush appointee who presides in Washington state, temporarily stopped the order on Friday night.

Trump sent out a series of tweets lamenting the ruling that halted enforcement.
"When a country is no longer able to say who can, and who cannot, come in & out, especially for reasons of safety &.security - big trouble!" he tweeted.
