US President Donald Trump is continuing his Twitter attack on a judge who blocked a travel ban on citizens of seven mainly Muslim nations.

"Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril. If something happens blame him and court system. People pouring in. Bad!," he tweeted.

"I have instructed Homeland Security to check people coming into our country VERY CAREFULLY. The courts are making the job very difficult!"

It comes after the San Francisco-based 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals, in a brief order overnight, denied the administration's request to set aside a Seattle judge's ruling that put a temporary hold on the ban.
