The executive orders signed yesterday does not grandfather in the more than 2,000 kids that have already been separated from their parents.

We do believe we have good legal arguments.

I think key question is going to occur in the following ways. Is the President -- what the President of the United States is that legal, is that lawful?

The statements behind it are what's causing concern from federal judge after a federal judge.

The courts have just look at the harm done to people in my state and Brian's state of Maryland and others that the harm is so great, that they're not going to allow it to go forward while we proceed on the merits.

If I'm understanding here correctly, he simply put that in writing.

the motivation truly behind this, at least one part of it, was the Muslim ban.

essentially, that's exactly right. And you don't have to take my word for that, just look at the very words that Donald Trump said when he was campaigning for president.

the language is virtually identical. So as a result while the new ban has narrowed the scope of people impacted by it, those provisions still are in place and they still negatively impact the people of my state.

the federal government is arguing, their lawyers are arguing, the president is arguing that no court can examine what the president is doing. And that is not the law.

it is entirely appropriate. It happens all the time in courts across the country that you are allowed to look behind the motivation behind any particular action.
