President Donald Trump wasn’t the only one hitting the all-caps key after word got out that a federal appeals court refused to reinstate his executive order on an immigration crackdown.
“SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!” Trump wrote on Twitter, just minutes after the ruling was released.
A bit later, he told reporters at the White House that the decision was “political.”
“This is just a decision that came down, but we’re going to win the case,” the president said.
Twitterers on both sides of the issue joined the fray. Here’s an annotated roundup of reactions:
