President Trump’s immigration order, which was halted by a federal judge, has come under fire by two former secretaries of state and nearly 100 Silicon Valley tech companies that say they are losing some of the brightest minds.

The federal court’s halt on the immigration order is expected to be taken up today by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, the Washington Post reports. 

Now Homeland Security must determine “check people coming into our country VERY CAREFULLY,” Trump tweeted.

How that will happen has not been publicly discussed by Homeland Security, which did not return calls to the Post.

“Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril,” Trump wrote. “If something happens blame him and court system. People pouring in. Bad!”

Trump came under fire for attacking the independent judiciary.
