A federal judge in Boston has handed President Donald Trump his first notable victory in the legal war over his travel ban executive order, issuing a ruling that suggests Trump’s move was legally sound.
The 21-page decision from U.S. District Court Judge Nathaniel Gorton was a preliminary one, but the White House is sure to tout the ruling as a counterpoint to a series of orders from other judges blocking parts of Trump’s directive and suggesting that lawsuits challenging it are likely to prevail.
One of those court orders was issued early Sunday by two of Gorton’s colleagues on the federal court in Boston, who imposed a nationwide ban on deportation and detention of travelers based on Trump’s order. Immigrant rights advocates wanted the seven-day temporary restraining order extended, but Gorton said such an extension was not warranted.
Gorton, an appointee of President George W. Bush, said Trump’s order was entitled to deferential review from the courts.
“The President has exercised his broad authority under [the law] to suspend entry of certain aliens purportedly in order to ensure that resources are available to review screening procedures and that adequate standards are in place to protect against terrorist attacks,” the judge wrote. “Such a justification is ‘facially legitimate and bona fide.'”
