Donald Trump slams decision to halt immigration order 

Donald Trump (pictured) has slammed a 'so-called' judge's decision to controversially halt his immigration order and claims some Middle Eastern countries agree with the ban. US District judge James Robart issued a ruling Friday that temporarily halted Trump's order banning travelers and immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries. A furious Trump fired off a series of tweets (pictured) on Saturday morning as major airlines started allowing passengers from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen to fly to US cities if they had valid documents. The President said it was 'big trouble' when a country could no longer control who can come in and out, before adding that certain Middle-Eastern countries agree with his ban. Trump then took aim at 'so-called' Judge Robart vowing to overturn his ruling. It comes after Qatar Airways was the first to say on Saturday morning it would allow previously banner passengers to fly to U.S. cities following the judge's ruling.
