US District Judge James Robart in Seattle on Friday issued a nationwide injunction against the travel ban and halted its enforcement for 90 days. U.S. District Judge Deborah A. Batts said Citibank did not give a good reason to revisit her June 30 order, which nixed some claims but allowed AIB to proceed with others, including fraud claims over Citibank’s alleged misrepresentation of sham transactions. The judge has already dismissed some of the claims made against Citibank, but the remainder of the claims will now go ahead.
