5:06 pm
through the appeals court and could go through the supreme court. unle unless, unless the administration rewrites the executive order, which there is some indication now they may do. because what the court said is the problem with the executive order is that it applies to people here in the u.s. who got visas and came here. if it were narrowed to apply just to people in those seven countries who have never been to the united states and are trying to come here for the first time, then it might have an easier time in court. that's another option. >> stay tuned. >> indeed. more to come. that controversial immigration order and the recent appointment of betsy devos, hi s education secretary, led to a walkout at several high schools in loudoun county. a student organizer says we are a nation of immigrants and

>> again, we just heard from peter alexander, nbc's white house correspondent, that it looks like they're not immediately taking it to the supreme court. when asked about president trump's move to withdraw from tpp, prime minister shinzo abe only said he was aware of that decision. the president is hosting prime minister shinzo abe at his mar-a-lago resort this weekend where they'll also be playing golf. it's raising some ethics questions. mar-a-lago membership fees are said to be $200,000. but the white house says abe will be there as mr. trump's guest. and this is a gift to abe, noting the rest of the japanese delegation will stay elsewhere. while the government limits gifts to the president from foreign dignitaries to less than $390, there is no limit what the president can give. developing right now, a judge today sentenced a br
