Just hours after news broke on March 15 that Hawaiian U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson had issued a restraining order against his newest immigration order, President Donald Trump responded.
The president had been traveling all day, speaking in Michigan in the afternoon and then heading to Nashville.

President Trump said the federal judge’s order halting his revised extreme vetting policy was “an unprecedented judicial overreach,” as he rallied supporters in Tennessee Wednesday night.

President Trump went on to promise a fight, saying that he would take his order to the Supreme Court if necessary.
