The attorneys general of four states—Washington, Oregon, New York, and Massachusetts—asked U.S. District Judge James Robart on Thursday to issue a temporary restraining order against the new Trump Administration immigration order, which was issued earlier this week. The attorneys general have argued, in essence, that the ruling that barred the initial immigration order should apply to the new order, which is scheduled to go into effect on March 16.
The request follows a lawsuit filed by the state of Hawaii on Wednesday against the new order.
