Airlines reportedly told to board passengers otherwise banned under Trump's travel order after federal judge's ruling

By Edmund DeMarche Published February 03, 2017 FoxNews.com


A federal judge in Seattle issued a ruling Friday that temporarily halts President Trump’s controversial executive order barring travelers and immigrants from seven predominately Muslim countries.

U.S. District Judge James Robart ruled that Washington state and Minnesota could challenge Trump's order to freeze the entire U.S. refugee program for four months and ban Syrians from entering as refugees indefinitely.

Where does a federal judge -- whose jurisdiction lies within a certain district -- issue an order for the entire country?

Is not his opinion/ruling limited to the bounds of his jurisdiction?

Could someone please explain where I'm seeing wrong?
