Spicer: Judge went 'rogue' by blocking immigration order

White House press secretary Sean Spicer believes the decision by a federal judge to halt President Trump's immigration order was an example of the judiciary going "rogue."

Spicer told Fox News that, despite the court order, the White House believes Trump's order blocking refugees for four months, blocking Syrian refugees indefinitely, and immigrants from seven countries for three months is legal.

"The law is very clear that the president has broad powers to keep this country safe and to limit access for people that can come into this country and do us harm. He's utilized that power in a very legal and constitutional power to ensure that we are safe, our country is safe our institutions are safe. It's somewhat sad to see a judge go rogue like this," Spicer said.

Instead, Trump should be praised for his desire to keep the country safe, Spicer said.

"It's a shame that we're not making sure to applaud the decision by the president to make a renewed focus and keep this country safe," he added.
