\"trump-calls\"International Desk:President Donald Trump blasted the federal courts for a second day in a row on Sunday after his efforts to implement a travel ban were suspended and warned that the judiciary could be placing Americans in \u2018peril.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril. If something happens blame him and court system. People pouring in. Bad!\u2019 the president tweeted, after uncharacteristically taking a nearly day-long break from Twitter.<\/p>\n

\u2018I have instructed Homeland Security to check people coming into our country VERY CAREFULLY. The courts are making the job very difficult!\u2019<\/p>\n

The saga began on January 27 when Trump issued a blanket ban on all refugees, as well as on travelers from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.<\/p>\n

That sparked a worldwide furor, prompting protest marches and demonstrations in cities and at airports across the United States.<\/p>\n

On Friday, a federal judge in Seattle, James Robart, blocked the ban nationwide pending a wider legal review.<\/p>\n

On Saturday Trump angrily fired off multiple tweets on the matter, stating that the \u2018so-called judge\u2019 was \u2018ridiculous\u2019\u2014and drawing criticism from Democrats and others who said the president was dangerously close to interfering with the judicial branch of government.<\/p>\n

A leading Democratic senator, Patrick Leahy of Vermont, said Trump seemed \u2018intent on precipitating a constitutional crisis.\u2019<\/p>\n

Then early Sunday, a US appeals court rejected an urgent government request to reinstate Trump\u2019s controversial ban.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
