Washington, Jan 31: State Attorney General Bob Ferguson has filed a suit seeking to block US President Donald Trumps executive order temporarily banning foreign refugees for a period of 90 days. The executive order has thrown Amercians into a pitched fight of civil rights against the American government. 
 
"No one is above the law, not even the president," Los Angeles Times quoted Ferguson as saying while announcing the federal lawsuit. "And in the courtroom, it is not the loudest voice that prevails. It's the Constitution." Ferguson became the first state attorney general to announce a legal action against the Trump administration over one of its policies.
 
 Ferguson was one of 16 state attorneys general who released a statement Sunday calling Trump's immigration action "un-American and unlawful." Adding that furhter cases against other Trump administration officials will be filed at a later stage in the Federal court in Seattle. 

Trump meanwhile has defended his decision as stating that the ban was not on muslims per say but only on immigrants coming into countries where radical islam has been on the rise and thereby entry of citizens from such countries will only hurt the security of the American homeland. He stated that, "America is in a state of mess and we need to clean it up as soon as we can." 

Despite feirce opposition both at home and globally the new Amercian government seems to be in no mood to take back the executive orders for now. Protestors carried out demonstration around 30 airports across the country along with major Silicon Valley prominent CEOs rebuking the move as being Un American.
