Trump Administration Says Order Not Enforceable

The Justice Department made an extraordinary argument to a federal judge today that an oral order he issued during a court hearing Saturday afternoon “is not enforceable,” CNN reports.

The argument — submitted in a 6-page filing to US District Judge James Boasberg shortly before a hearing on the issue is set to get underway later today — argued that “an oral directive is not enforceable as an injunction.”
