Justice Department: Order and House Official

justice department: The Justice Department argued that Trump intends to rescind the order and replace it with a new, substantially revised executive order that may influence the shape of the legal issues ... in ways relevant to the class certification question, according to CTV. After being repeatedly postponed, a White House official said Thursday a replacement order now won't be unveiled until next week at the earliest. U.S. District Judge James Robart, who halted enforcement of Trump's immigration order nationwide in February in a separate case brought by the states of Washington and Minnesota, said in his order that the federal government could have more time before responding to plaintiff's efforts to have the case certified as a class-action lawsuit. Robart also said he understood the frustrations of the parents and Northwest Immigrant Rights Project, who filed the lawsuit, over Trump administration statements that seemingly contradict those made by federal government lawyers. Nevertheless, Robart said, the court will continue to rely on statements coming from the federal attorneys. The court understands Plaintiffs' frustrations concerning statements emanating from President Trump's administration that seemingly contradict representations of the federal government's lawyers in this and other litigation before the court, the order said.
