Developing right now, local reaction still coming in after a federal courts ruling to halt President Trumps executive order on immigration. Were live this morning with more on the reaction from both sides on this. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Well, you know, this is all about the constitution in action, really the system of checks and balances and of course this comes after that unanimous decision by a threecourt panel of the ninth Circuit Court of appeals that voted to uphold a ban on the ban on travel from seven countries around the world, mostly muslim countries as well as a ban temporarily on all refugee travel into the united states. Now, of course this decision comes after the government had argued that the um grags and National Security and with the executive order that the courts had no jurisdiction to check o court in itself did say thats exactly what they are here for, to put a check on the executive power. Now, what this means in the real thing of life for all those folks waiting is that the folk who is are against this ban are kind of relieved. So many people have been harmed by this ban, families, states, people who are coming back to their hospitals. Reporter and of course, the president s reaction was quick. It came in a tweet in all caps. It essentially said see you in court and that the countrys security is up and what that could very well mean it could go to the Supreme Court, a 44 Supreme Court now. So that has a whole other set of ramifications yet to come. Back to you. Heres what happens next with that travel virtual certainty the government will try to move this case to the Supreme Court. The Justice Department could file that request as early as today. With eight justices on the court right now, there is a chance for a tie, which would uphold the current ruling blocking the executive order from being enforced. The message from the Appeals Court indicated that because the executive order was broad and covered green card and visa holders it harmed the u. S. Now to an on gouing investigation into the Prince Georges Police department. The Justice Department is looking into discrimination complaints into the department. I found that repulsive. Repulsive. A 300 page report includes a complaint filed including this photograph showing a vulgar anti president obama license plate. Another shows a training dummy with a black mans face and a wig to it. The police chief believes taken inside the old training facility. He also noted some of these wigs here were used on a white female dummy in a training video. News 4 reported on a training scenario about a year ago. Meanwhile some residents have mixed opinions on this discrimination in the police department. If theres not a problem they need to see why they said there was a problem. Our Prince Georges County bureau will be following up on this later today. Those of you living in northwest d. C. Have one less option for groceries. The whole foods is closed right now. The sign indicates they violated the health code. Were waiting to hear back from the Health Department to see what caused that store to close. The top products of 2017. The winners will be able to put a product of the year logo on their packaging.
