US: Homeland Security suspends travel ban
The country's Department of Homeland Security reportedly announced it has suspended move to implement the immigration order.
A State Department official tells CNN the department has reversed the cancellation of visas that were provisionally revoked following the President's executive order last week -- so long as those visas were not stamped or marked as canceled.
The order given by Trump bars citizens of seven Muslim-majority nations from entering his country for 90 days.
Federal judge James Robart earlier ruled that there were grounds to challenge the ban moved by Trump.
Trump earlier tweeted: "The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!"
