news 4 at 6:00 starts now. for the second week in a row protests around the world have broken out. the demonstrators angry over president donald trump's immigration order. but right now executive action is on hold. a federal judge has temporarily blocked president trump's immigration order. good evening and thanks for joining us tonight. i'm erika gonzalez. as we monitor protesters in our own backyard, the federal government is scrambling to respond to that judge's ruling. nbc's chris pallone breaks down what's next. >> reporter: in cities like washington, miami and new york, protesters took to the streets again saturday pushing a

trump administration to drop its order banning. >> doesn't matter who you are or where you come from. >> reporter: protesters encouraged by a seattle federal judge's ruling late friday which puts the travel ban on hold for now. >> i find that a temporary restraining order is in the public interest. >> the law's a powerful thing. it has the ability to hold everybody accountable to it. and that includes the president of the united states. >> reporter: president donald trump not impressed. in a video recorded before the court ruling he defended his executive order. >> the executive order establishes a process to develop new vetting and mechanisms to ensure those coming into america love and support our people. that they have good intention. >> reporter: trump 1, 2, 3 e tweeting saturday morning he believes the ruling is ridiculous and it will be overturned. but until that happens about

visas revoked next week and people from the seven banned countries are now free to come to the u.s., all federal agencies are complying with the court order. if they do come, however, it will be at their own peril, with constant legal maneuvering going on, their status could change at any moment. chris pallone, nbc news. >> our news 4 coverage continues live at dulles national airport with what's going on there, dar si. >> reporter: erika, it's a much different situation here at dulles international airport compared to last weekend when we had all those protests and press conferences. i want to show you what's happening right here behind me. you can see people are standing here holding up welcome home signs. also offering legal assistance to those who may have been detained. now, this is the scene here at the international arrival area at dulles. we spoke to people arriving from abroad today and they reported that they haven't had any issues coming into the

let's hear now from a man who just arrived from pakistan and a woman who was waiting for her mom to arrive. >> i don't think that it's a good thing. people living here in the country and going back own country fur tour and visit and loved ones are here. i think it's not a good thing. >> i don't think it's fair that, you know, you're just pointing the finger at certain people just because, you know, they look a certain way. to me that's just, you know, against the constitution. >> reporter: now, you're looking at a photograph of a george mason university senior who basically got caught up in the travel ban that's been in effect here for a week. and she's from libya. we understand that she's on a plane possibly arriving here at dulles any minute now. we're going to bring you the latest on that coming up at 11:00. back to you. >> darcy

want to bring in our chief correspondent nbc's pete williams. the department of homeland security says it will abide to temporarily suspend the order. if this is temporary, how long can this last? >> don't know how long it's going to last. the order is as though it never existed. anyone who has a visa from those countries are able to board planes from overseas. and anyone who arrives with visas from those countries are allowed to enter the country into the u.s. assuming there's nothing in secondary inspection that would cause a problem. but that's normal. so that's the situation right now. all those visas are being honored. however, the justice department, the trump administration is scrambling to try to get to the ninth circuit court of appeals out on the west coast and put a stop to the judge's order. that's going to be filed later today. if that court agrees, then presumabt

start enforcing the travel restriction again. if the court doesn't, then the government would undoubtedly go to the u.s. supreme court and try to get a stay there. >> so the president almost immediately speaking out about this, about the ruling and about the judge himself. we talked a little bit about what the recourse is then for the white house, but is there anything in history that we can compare this to? >> well, in a sense one thing to compare it to is president obama's attempt to change the immigration rules to allow adults to stay here if their children were citizens. that was put a stop to by a federal court. that went all the way to the supreme court. who knows what the course of this is going to be. this is the very early stage of the litigation. so what the judge in seattle has done here is said, you know, let's just freeze everything while we later in the coming weeks decide whether this order is constitutional or legal. for now let's put a stop to it. normally when someone tries to get a stay to an order like that, it isn't successful. we'll see what hap

government's request. >> let me ask you one last question, in his ruling the judge spoke repeatedly about a tri-part government, so i think a lot of people are scratching their heads right now wondering, so ultimately, who has the last say here? where does this fall? >> well, to a large extent right now it's in the ball -- the ball is in the court's. they'll decide whether the president can enforce this order. but congress in essence has the last word because they could change the law. unless the courts say that this executive order is unconstitutional. in that case there's no recourse. >> all right. nbc's pete williams. we thank you so very much for your time. thanks again for joining us. >> you bet. >> as we mentioned president trump immediately speaking out about the ruling and about the judge. so who exactly is judge james robart? you can open our nbc washington app to learn more about him. let's change gears now. an early morning assault at a bar in waldorf turned deadly, and now detectives are trying to

today's fundraiser took place at the town hall restaurant. the goal, domestic violence awareness. >> domestic abuse is something that's really close to a lot of us, and a lot of relationships you don't even realize it's going to sneak up on you. i think when this happens to you, as a community we're all really shocked about it. >> organizers raised over $17,000 today for the one love foundation, that money will be used to spread awareness and awareness events at high schools and colleges. next month a supreme court will hear a case surrounding a transgender student from virginia. you may remember gavn grim, he was born female but identifies as male. and he was using the boys bathroom at his high school in southeastern virginia until people complained. the school board then required students to use the bathroom that corresponds with their biological gender. justices will take up the case in late march. the anticipation is building tonight for super bowl li. these are live pictures from

keep track to have the air quality, but still neighbors are saying that they are concerned. >> we're a little dismayed they didn't have it ready to go the night of the events or something like that. that's part of a disaster plan they should have and something they should think about equipping. >> environment officials say there are no current threats to air quality and crews are still trying to figure out exactly what caused that fire. all right, let's change gears now. super bowl weekend in full swing tonight. we're about 24 hours from that big game. nbc's jay gray is live in houston, texas, with the super bowl frenzy. my good friend, good to see you. >> reporter: erika, great to see you. and we are here in houston. we're in the fan zone here basically that is the area for all the fans. it's called super bowl live and is alive, you can hear these fans, they're all hear for what is the biggest sporting event in the world and to cheer on their

watchful eye of another group here, another team, massive security. fans continue to fill the streets, pack the parties and celebrate on super bowl weekend. >> it's amazing. >> reporter: hundreds of thousands. >> go pats! >> reporter: getting hyped up for sunday's showdown. but for a special group in houston right now, the super bowl is no game. >> while there are no known credible threats, obviously there's an extremely high profile event. >> reporter: with a high level of security, the nfl has hired more than 4,000 private security and crowd management officers to assist police and federal agents from more than 40 departments. >> everything from more canine teams, more viper units, we're providing air support for the event, cyber security support for the event. all the capabilities that the federal go

show of force most everywhere you look here. but that's only one aspect of the overall plan. >> you won't be seeing plain clothes officers. you won't be seeing undercover officers. you won't be seeing the cameras and the technology that we'll be utilizing. >> reporter: all to make sure it's a safe and super weekend. again, the police tell us there's been no mass of problems at this point, really no serious problems at all. what they have continued to do deal with are counterfeit tickets or fake super bowl merchandising dice. erika, back to you in the quiet studio. >> yeah, no kidding, wish i could be there to feel the energy. do me a favor, have yourself a waterburger in my honor. thank you, jay. good to see you. >> reporter: i will do it. >> meanwhile, leaky ceilings and problems with mold are some of the things that parents say are plaguing george mason high school in falls chu

virginia. dozens of people gathered for a town hall today. the big question whether to renovate the existing building or build a new one. some support the idea of a new one, others worry about the cost to taxpayers. >> i'm unhappy with the facilities, and so i recognize there's really a need to redevelop them. but i also think that financially we need to be responsible as a city. >> falls church is expected to vote on a bond referendum for possible construction of a new school in november. and now, your storm team 4 forecast. >> well, a little like winter out there today, temperatures 30s to low 40s. that was it, but a beautiful sunset as those clouds start to roll in. that sun went down just about 45 minutes ago and it's continuing to decrease in sunlight. at least our sunset's getting a little later, thank goodness, as we continue through this winter. that actually feels more like

wednesday. now, tonight we are going to have increasing cloud cover. and then tomorrow we're going to have some clouds, but i believe we're going to have a few peeks of sunshine here and there. and by the time we get into next week, tomorrow we'll start our warmup trend, but by wednesday, again, we could have record breaking warmth around here. not today. nowhere near that. our average temperature for this time of year is in the mid 40s. we've been stuck in the 30s to right around 40 degrees. 41 was the official daytime high in d.c. now we drop to 37. 39 at quantico. 33 at dulles. little frigid in the shenandoah valley. if you're headed out tonight, again, it's getting chilly, but increasing cloud cover will help stop our temperatures from dropping too far too fast. only because we're kind of insulated with those clouds compared to last night when we had clear skies. we were in the teens and 20s early this morning. tomorrow morning temperatures are going to be in the 30s and 20s. doing slightly better tomorrow morning. and really not doing that bad out there right now. again,ha

around the region. and we continue to look dry all the way through the d.c. area. so, again, not going to have to worry about any sprinkles tonight. or even tomorrow. temperatures right around 50 degrees tomorrow, so we're going to have some sunshine at times especially in the second part of the afternoon for your sunday. but, again, not bad. temperatures around 50. now, i can't rule out a few sprinkles, mainly north of d.c. we got a system passing to the north. so we took rain chances completely out. if you want to exercise, it is going to be warm and dry. have you noticed you've been reaching for the chap tick, skin little on the dry side, dew points are down. grab the moisturizer. you'll need it not only tonight but tomorrow. we'll be doing a little better next week for your skin. super bowl parties, no travel issues whatsoever. temperatures around 50 tomorrow, but look at this trend on the up and up. 53 for your monday, mix of sun and clouds. monday's going to be gorgeous. tuesday and wednesday we have some showers on tuesday and wednesday. temperatures daytime high

64 set back in 2008. we can make it there. we're going to be a little breezy after lunch on tuesday again with some rain showers. i can't rule out a thunderstorm possibly on wednesday morning as a front comes through. temperatures will hit 60 early, early in the day. and then temperatures ♪ new year, time to get rid of stuff. simplify, declutter, unplug, purge, or even quit cold turkey.

this is the xfinity sports desk. >> here in the csn studios, the great eight is having another hall of fame resume building season, but he isn't even leading the caps in points. that distinction belongs to nicholas backstrom, once again the overshadowed ovie's batman showed up today against montreal. coming off a three-point performance against boston. it's the caps on the attack.

goal. there he goes, bakstrom through the screen, caps take the lead. an empty net, they see one in front but can't get it past the stone wall of braden, capitals hang onto win 3-2. >> i feel like there's excitement involved when you're a player. i mean, we know montreal's a good team. maybe a little extra motivation. you want a winner too, so, i mean, can't really say anything else why we've been winning 11 of the last 12. but apparently we like this arena. >> good goaltending on both parts. i thought we played a good game for majority of the game. i didn't like maybe the last ten minutes, but that's hockey. >> maryland hosting
